Home Invasion By I/C

[collateraldamage5591]

I received a letter a couple days ago from my atty. I am to appear in court in the first part of July. The I/C wants to enter my home for inspection. The I/C is claiming now that my disease was caused by something in my own home. I think this is absurd but if I refuse to allow an inspection it would look as though I am hiding something. It has taken quite sometime for my health to improve with many setbacks due to relearning what my body will tolerate now but is steadily improving. Aside from the maintenence drugs I have to take now it has been 6 weeks since my last round of antibiotics and steroids. If there was a problem with my home my pulmo says my wife would be sick and the cat would be dead. Sorry I posted in the wrong area . I did not notice till it was too late.

ahh but Darlin this is the right side cuz you need a hug and this side is where you get them(((((((((hug))))))))))))I cant answer your question what does your lawyer say?

Hi CD...would you mind reviewing the most important parts of your injury or disease that was work related. Maybe I can give you some ideas on what they would be looking for. Red

What does your attorney have to say about all of this?

What next? Will we all have to turn over our personal computers to defense, or will they come in and inspect our medicine cabinets? Maybe this is more common than I am thinking, but I've never heard of such a thing.

CD,
If you do allow the Insurance Carrier Representatives into your home, then it might be advisable that you and your lawyer also have your own expert there along with theirs every step of the way. You and your lawyer need to know the exact credentials of the "inspector" beforehand so that yours will match his/her expertise and able to counter any findings that may be absurd.

May I ask what your injury is that is causing them to come inspect your house?

CD....Wink is dead on. I'm sorry I didn't think of it even knowing that whatever "expert" the IC pulls out of their hat you are entitled to having the same. Do you have an attorney? Sorry if you told me. I'm sure there are certain known allergens and irritants they're looking for. I am wishing you the very best with this but please check things as as Wink suggested. I know my attorney has back up for every one the IC pulls out of their hat.

I agree with Wink and Cap, you might look at having your own expert inspect your home.

Thank you all for your input. I am honored to be a part of this site.
My atty. has not even called me yet and that upsets me.

Here are links to The American Lung Assosiation with explanations of my occupational diseases (occupational asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis) of which my pulmonoligist diagnosed me with. I also have COPD and some emphysema also. I have hesitated for quite some time about really opening up on this site for fear that I would be looked upon as one of thoses comp milkers because of the nature of my comp claim.

>>>>These links are directly from the Lung Association site, but if you search for metalworking fluids and occupational disease,MWF and HP, MWF and occupational asthma it will show more info. I had no idea that the stuff I breathed for the last 17 years was bad for me until I started researching it after I got sick. I was told there was nothing wrong with the air even though you could not see the other end of the shop ( about 300 Feet) at times because of the metalworking fluid mist floating in the air. All of the metal working fluid runs in a trench below the floor where I worked so everything that is tracked in on everyone' s feet, spit into, trash thrown into, thrown up into, not to mention the tramp oil from leaky machines and probably more is all converted into a mist through the machining process and hangs in the air like cigarette smoke does in a bar on a Saturday night and everyone has to breath the mists of this crap in.

Please excuse my rantings but the company knew about the hazards of metalworking fluids but never trained their employees about the hazards of these toxic mists until they got cited by OSHA.
>>> Well if they monitor this site they know damn good and well who I am by now. Everything I have posted is true since I joined so LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!!!!!

Have a nice day!!

CD, if You were Diagnosed with this Condition after they were Cited by OSHA, it should be Clear Cut that this is Work Related. If Your Husband is Well, and without Lung Trouble, that should Prove it without a Doubt. If Your Condition was Diagnosed before they were Cited, and Your Husband is Well, that should also Prove it's not related to Your Home. My Opinion Only, but No ONE from the i/c would ever enter My Home without a Court Order from a w/c Judge, and My Attorney and Expert would be by My Side as Wink Said! It's not Your Job to Help them find a way to Deny Your Claim, make them have to jump through all of the Legal Hoops they Make Us jump through, and only allow them in if Forced to. This is pushing the Limits in My Opinion, any so called Expert Bought by the i/c can Make any Report look as if the Problem is in Your Home!!
