| I was hired to paint the roof, I fell of the roof and hurt my back. Due to the injury I cant work. |
| I have a worker comp case and due to CODE 3352H, I dont qualify for workers compensation. My Lawyer has asked me to settle the case or it will be dismissed by the judge. Is there anything else I can file? Due to the injury, I will need to continue medical treatment and I''m not sure when I can return to work. |
| Do I have a case?
Thank you for your time.
I feel really lost on what to do.
I don''t want mill |
| I started at a job doing a new program that they started. The job invalved wearing protective equipment. Yet, the PEE was not sufficiant. I told my supervisor that it was not and he kinda shrugged it off. Later I got a huge infection and had a ton of scar tissue that needed to be surgically removed. Now I have two ugly scars under my eyes:( In the hall way I was told by another employee that I should file a claim. The same boss said that I should not or they will fire me. So I seeked getting treatment by myself. Bought insurance and had surgery. Finally after this happened I got the proper protective gear.
Do you think I can do something about this. I''m really angery and sad, I feel like this could have been advoided. Now, I have to walk around with scars under my eyes. One eye also is kinda numb underneath and every now and then my eyes ach like they are trying to heal the nerve damage. I still work here, but they fired this guy, and they want me to file a workers comp. claim. ??????? |
| Is pain and suffering included with a WC settlement? |
| I have had 3 surgeries and on WC for almost 5 years. Do the ins. comp include pain and suffering when considering an appropriate settlement. |
| I''ve been out of work since Jan 16th with a broken ankle. I broke my ankle on a make shift plywood |
| When I stepped on it, I didn''t notice that the support struts under had been removed and the plywood had a crack which flexed and i went to the ground.
Since then I''ve had a plate and screws put in to stabilize the shattered bone (unlike the ramp) and I''ve been told I may not be able to ride my Harley or bowl again, along with several other restrictions. I wasn''t too upset until I heard this .
Should I get a W.C. attorney? A personal injury lawyer?
I''ve taken pictures of the ramp.
