Just a Quick Note: As some of You May know, My Negotiations Hearing was Yesterday, and it Lasted All of 15 Minutes, and was Stopped when My Attorney Clearly saw that they were not Seriously Prepared to Settle My Claim! So the Battle Rages, and it May take as Much as 3 Years before We get a Decision from the Commonwealth Court, which is where We are Heading!! Our Chances of Winning is Approx. 80-90%, but I Guess the Ins. Co. must have thought I was not Prepared to go the Long Haul, but they Were Sadly Mistaken!! I'm, not Rich, I'm not Poor, We get by, and I'm Not Going to throw My Wife and Kids Future away for Far Less than My Case is Worth!! The Main Reason I went to Work was to Provide for My Family and Give them the Quality of Life they Deserved, and this Injury Stopped Me in My Tracks, and Left My Health Continuously Declining, with Pain Increasing, because I saved an 18 Year Old Boy from Losing His Legs by Catching what I did!! I would do it Again Tomorrow, I don't want to See Anyone Hurt, but I Guess they don't Care about My Pain or My Future, so I'll Take it All the Way and Win, and that will Double My Settlement Value, and they will Owe Me Close to $100,000.00 in Back Pay!! Wish Me Luck, because I'm Tired of the Games, and I won't Stop until I Either Die, or they Pay Me what I am Due, not a Penny More, and not a Dime Less!!!
I am devestated for you....I can't believe they keep fighting when they know how badly you are injured. I have seen the pain in your face, but on the other hand I have seen the love in your face when you talk about your wife and family and I know how much you want them to be able to have the things that you once provided them with, but no longer can. I know you are fighting this battle for them as well as yourself and I know you will win and I pray that it happens soon.
their game is hoping you will die before you settle....they cannot win any other way...they know it and you know it
Still,
I give you alot of credit for being so strong through this whole ordeal. You are one heck of a guy and you have a lucky wife and I hope she knows how much you love her and your family. I only pray that this gets over soon for you because just waiting must be eatting away at you. I know for me it only took a year and drove me mad but was nowhere near what you are going through and the injuries you have and deal with on a day to day basis. I cannot imagine what you have to go through each day because with just my hand/arm injury I feel I cannot go on some days. The depression eats at me and the pain.
I pray that it goes in your favor and from what I have been reading since I have been here on this forum, I wish I would of found a lawyer as great as the one you have. My best to you and my prayers are with you each day till it is over : ) Keep your chin up. You have been this far, it won't be much longer. Maybe after today it will move things along. You will see, they will now probably throw the towel in.
Thumbs up to you Still, Hang in there. Dont let them win thats what they want. You are one hell of a person your to good to be treated that way I hope you get every thing you ask for.....................................Good luck and be well....
Thank You Everyone!! It's a Dam* Shame in this United Sates of America, a Country I would Fight and Die for Today if Asked to, would let the Individual States do this to Their Injured Workers. Had I been Drunk and Hit a Tree, which caused My Disability I Deserve Absolutely Nothing but Jail-Time, I just went to Work, and Incident Occurred that Left Me Disabled, and Allowed an 18 Year Old Boy the ability to Walk to His Car and Drive Home after Work, and I might as Well ave been the Drunk that hit the Tree, I'm being Treated no Better!! Oh Well, they Bit a Wild Cat on the As* this Round, Because I Will Not Stop until I Bleed Every Dime I can from this Cold Hearted Ins. Co., and My Employer. They are Nothing but Uncaring Cowards Hiding behind Bureaucratic Red Tape and Loop Holes, but I'm one He** of a Hunter, and I'll bring them Out into the Open!! Sorry for the Rant, but I haven't felt Rage like this for a Long Time, and don't know How to Vent it at the Moment! I Hope Your Day is Well, and Your Pain Minimal, and Thanks Again!!
Limbo, you got the right attitude, don't let no one change that.
I don't know what to say that has already been said Limbo. Just hold your ground. It's hard, and we get down but if your know you are right and just and deserving, then the adrenaline kicks in. You go Limbo. Dumba** Insurance Companies!!!!!!
Still In Limbo you are a person of strength and you will see this to the end with a victory!
When I entered the work comp world my goal was to get my medical, and to return to work.
Well, because the medical was delayed almost 3 years I now have permanent restrictions and will see a settlement in the end; it will cost the insurance company much more in the end. But this is the path the insurance chose to take.
Where is the common sense in work comp?
Frankly I don't know how any of us hold it in.....Sometimes it just helps to let it out....It's very strange, but ever since I read about what they did to you I have been crying and close to tears all day. I feel so let down when any of us injured workers get kicked over and over again. It actually is like a slap to all of us when one of the family gets hurt......I'm praying for all of us so we make it through this.....
