[paradisequeen]

Hi, I
am from Oregon and have had a accident where I tripped over a curb. I broke my left femur and workmans comp has so far paid my bills and I am healing good.. I went back to work on light duty.they have nonthing for me to do but I must go. when I was in the hospital and at home they told me they would train me on dispatch and phones...I have been there for a month and they have not. just
put me on jobs that are crap. the things is I am ready to move on'
I have to heal first and am healing good. but I got pulminary emobius
while in the hospital...does any body have a clue what I should expect as far as a settlement and the next thing is can they fire me... it was an onthe job injury but on a parking lot not owned byt the company...any info is good...thanks.....S

settlement? there may not be a settlement......if you get back to 100% and able to work there most likely will not be a settlement..WC is for medical and lost wages....and your job is safe for 12 weeks then yes they can let you go

thanks for the info...the surgeon did say I would not be at 100 percent hopefully 95 they did put in a long rod and six screws...could that make a difference.
