settlement reached

[Roadrunner]

Hi, it's been a while but I in check in every so often. My wife is doing well and going to school to recertify since she was out so long. First congrats to Golfbum I hope you can move on with your life in an almost normal manner. The thing that brought me to post was the surveillance that was brought up. My wife left a rehab session and noticed a bright yellow car following here every turn and so on. She called me on her cell and told me what was going on. I told here to head to my place of employment and see if it continued. She called me about a mile away and said the vehicle was still in tow. I work on a dead end street I had my wife pull in, the vehicle passed by and as he turned around at the end and headed out I took our tracker trailer and backed it out across the street leaving nowhere to go. Me and two other fellow employees went toward the car and you could see he wanted out and asked what he was up to. I explained he had been following my wife and wasn't very good at it and should maybe find another line of work because I would be real close to being within my rights of kicking his butt or calling the police. I decided since I was on the clock I did not want to endanger my job or company I let him go but let him know if I was on my own time he probably would of had his own w/c claim. Just thought you would get a laugh. Good Luck to all

That there just goes to show how they treat injured workers as criminals. The insurance company said in the courtroom that i still had my drivers licenses and i was like o so because i am an injured worker who is disabled i am no longer supposed to drive? Maybe thats why i have disabled licenses plate. That there is a clearly double standered. And to follow your wife around that in itself could have caused your wife to have an accident worry about her life in a car following her around in this day an age of carjackers etc... You should of kicked there ass. Because they will keep doing it. You should have called the police and pressed charges and then called the media to show what insurance companies do to in danger the injured workers lives.

I hope you work gets well and things work out for you. Never give up and never let them think they can use scare tactics. You have rights too.

I think in my case they tried to use the surveillance as a scare tactic. I know for a fact that they had nothing on my otherwise why would their offer increase??? My attorney and I told them to bring the tape to court and lets view it together with a Judge......They decided to settle. Funny how when pressed, the i/c folded like a house of cards......Good Luck Roadrunner!

You are right. My family and I can now "rest" we can take our lives back. Its funny though, and I'm not sure how, in the country we live in, that as victims we are treated like criminals. How does that work??
I, nor anyone in here, asked to be injured. The i/c needs to stop treating innocent victims, like rapists, thieves or murderers!!!!
