I always get the same answer: Let me call them and I'll get back to you....he never does....it's been going on like this since December '07. I'm afraid this medical bill will go into collections and go against my credit, so I'm ready to start making payments on it myself.
When I told the doctor's office that I would pay it, they said that was fine, but if they received payment from workman's comp, they would put that as a credit on my account and NOT send it to me as reimbursement.
I feel as though I'm really stuck here. I'm only asking for the medical bill to be paid, not for any time off work or residual pain, but I'm almost tempted to get an attorney to get out from under this.
Do I have any other recourse besides continuing to talk to my boss, take in the statements and wait it out for who knows how long?
I'm an "at will" employee and I really need this job, so I'm very hesitant about raising too big of a stink about this. Any words of wisdom from anybody will be greatly appreciated.]]> I have been going to see my boss every few weeks either with statements from the doctor or just to ask him if he's heard anything from the insurance yet.

During that time her cyst got so deep that she has had 8 surgeries now to try to close it up and has had many doctors try different things to do it. It is now opening again and the doctors are at a loss of what to do now. She also has fibro and is going to a pain clinic and having PT/OT every other day.Her job is cleaning corporate Jets. She has alot of bending, stooping, getting on her knees etc. to clean them inside.

Yesterday her supervisor asked her how she is doing. She has been back to work for 2 weeks now and she said she is doing good except her back hurts alittle. Her HR dept. insisted that she go to their doctor to be examined right at that time. Their doctor looked at her cyst and asked her many questions about her medical history and then gave her a note for light duty work. As soon as she got back to work she was called to the HR dept. and told they do not have light duty work and to go home. They would call her back on Dec. 20th.

My question is. She went back to work and was not complaining and was forced to go to her works doctor to be examined. Then let go for a few weeks because of no light duty. The HR dept. was going to call her back last night and I have no idea why she was going to call, but my question is, she needs insurance because of her health problems and now what happens? She lives in NH and is she now considered on WC? Do they have to pay her now because they had no light duty and sent her home? She does not know what the WC insurance co. name is, or what to do.

I know she is a big risk to the company with all her medical problems, but she has looked around for jobs to do and cannot seem to get hired right now. She really knew that this job would be hard to do with bending but still went back to work and was doing it without complaining. What sort of steps should she do now? Will she be paid to be out of work? I have always felt that she should be on SS because of all her health problems. Should she apply for SS? I know if the doctor writes that she has all these medical problems that she could possibly receive SS. I know she is still young , but she has been through a rough life. Any help, suggestions on where to go right now or what to do would be helpful. She cannot afford an attorney. I did tell her she needs to call a WC lawyer and get a free consult on what she needs to do and what her rights are.

I know this site has very good information and I was just wondering what her first step to do would be? She is very upset now that she has no income and could lose her insurance.]]>

My question is this, where can I find out if there is any time limit, in the state of VA, that they need to get the check sent out. I have read other posts that said their state had such a thing and I'd like to know if my state has something similar.

BTW, I have asked my lawyer's secretary and she said she did not know of any law that said that they had a time table on checks, but she would give the message to my lawyer and she'd get back to me. However, she is on vacation for the next week, so this is why I am hoping that someone here will know the answer.

Thanks guys-]]>

I was injured on the job at the age of 20, am 22 now. I injured my lower back. I had MRI/X-RAYS taken which didn't show any evidence of a slipped/herniated disc, which lead to a diagnosis of "mechanical back pain", I was also told I would have pain forever on and off because of significant scar tissue buildup, so assuming the damage was muscular.

Anyway, I got a lawyer just in case, so the workers compensation company didn't try to pull anything over on me. They paid me on time, correctly, etc. Very friendly agent from this company personally assigned to me, but I bet she would screw me if she had too, so I watch my back even more (haw haw). I returned to work for awhile after I was rehabilitated (had a few shots in my lower back, PT, etc), then left again because of my back.

Didn't work for awhile, on, off, on, off. etc

I told the lawyer that I wanted to have a settlement from my case, and he asked me how much I wanted, I had no clue, so he said "How about we ask for $100,000) I said "wow sure fine". He wrote two "demand letters" which he hasn't received a reply back for, he says "they aren't legally obligated to fulfill the demand because it hasn't been two years after the date of accident to file a suit for "wage expectancy", this January will be two years.

What I'm asking is:

What is wage expectancy? What will I get from that?
I was making like $8.30 an hour

Can I settle? If I worked it right, how much would/should I receive?

I ask here because im too young and don't have parents to explain this to me. Secondly, since im not 100% disabled, and my condition is stable but not 100%, I feel like it would be a better option for my future to use the settlement money to wipe out my college tuition.

Help,please?

I have a lot of catching up on reading the posts.

I would like to thank everyone who have been following my cross country drive, and praying for me and giving me good wishes. They worked, I arrived here safe last week and then went down to get all of my things out of storage this past weekend. My son-in-law and his friend went with me. My son-in-law drove my van the entire way down, which was 6 hours one way, so that I did'nt have to. Everything was loaded into the Uhaul truck on Sat. and we stayed at a hotel and drove back on Sunday. Sunday night it was all in my apartment. I'm still trying to get unpacked,lol.

I would also like to thank Red & Del for thier hospitality and allowing me to stay at thier home the first night. Red taught me how to paint on Christmas balls and also gave me a few things for my daughter and had the item that I asked her to make done for me. It was a great visit.

Limbo and his wife were great and left me spend time at thier home as well. I originally was only going to spend 1 night, but due to the weather, I stayed 2. The beef stew and biscuits that Ellen made were great. That was the last time while on the trip that I was able to get online, until I reached my daughter's home.

I was very happy to meet Undercover Angel in Oklahoma, it was as if we had met before and talked like old friends. We had a nice lunch and played some at the casino. I don't drive (if I can help it) at night because of my eye problems, so I had to go and find my hotel, and we parted ways. I would have liked to have more time with her, but was happy for the time we did get.

Tuffy kept in touch most of the trip, until she disappeared and went to her brother's on the spur of the moment. Then I was worried because I could'nt reach her by phone, and could'nt get access to the internet. I ended up calling UA to find out when she was on here last. Tuffy did call me after she returned, but I was in the middle of getting the things from storage. Thank you Tuffy and anyone else for keeping the forum family updated on my travel.

I tried to contact differant people by phone while I was gone, I'm glad to have such a great group of people to be able to talk to and for those who gave me traveling advise.

Sorry that I ended up writing a book,lol. I have missed y'all so much. I will try to get on more often now that I have my computer working. For all of you that were on my Christmas card list last year or if you want to be added to it, please PM me if your address changed. If anyone would like my new address, Please PM me and I will give it to you. I have learned that I can trust my forum family with my info. My cell phone number is remaining the same for now, but I do have a new home number.

If I left anyone out on the thank yous, please overlook that and know that I thank y'all for watching over me so well. I really enjoyed knowing that on my trip.

My license renewal was due earlier this month so like a good girl I renew online and pay my fees.

Today I receive a letter stating my license is suspended/revoked in Arizona from a ticket I evidently received in Sept. of 2004. I have a file just for tickets and have no info whatsoever on this ticket.

The court clerk I spoke to said this has been in collections since Dec. of 1994 yet it wasn't on my TRW when I paid everything off 2 or 3 years ago. I have no way of fighting this to prove whether it was paid or not as I don't have financial records dating back that far. They said the ticket is 549.50 plus any fees due the collection agency.

I have 3 weeks to either pay this amount in full (which I have no way of doing) or lose my California license.

I swear I can't win for losing. Just when I find something I can do and have a really nice boss who lets me work when my pain allows, this pops up. I am so frustrated, grrrrr

Thanks for letting me vent.
