I don't think the Police or the Courts would accept defending myself by saying "I didn't throw bricks through 80% of the windows in this town, so what's your problem." And then let's say I further defend my actions by saying "If only those 20% had communicated with me properly their windows wouldn't be broken." <br /><br />Now you and I both know that the policy of some insurance companies is to "muddy" or prevent adequate communication with the injured worker. You may pretend you don't know, but you know.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681799401614263953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489363879633129568.post-49608111070383093962015-03-10T04:13:47.975-07:002015-03-10T04:13:47.975-07:00The bigger demographic Kevin.The bigger demographic Kevin.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02446191842560064784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489363879633129568.post-57589553383656646492015-03-09T14:26:26.319-07:002015-03-09T14:26:26.319-07:00David, is that 80% reported injuries where the inj...David, is that 80% reported injuries where the injured worker gets patched up and go back to work or 80% of work injuries that had filed an application for adjudication of claim?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10786364576502556244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489363879633129568.post-7596191240943121572015-03-09T09:15:19.470-07:002015-03-09T09:15:19.470-07:00Darren - 80% of the claims IN THE SYSTEM go just f...Darren - 80% of the claims IN THE SYSTEM go just fine. Maybe there are claims that don't go into the system. Those aren't counted. All that are counted in that 80% are the ones that actually are processed as work comp. Perhaps you are correct, but there are no statistically valid studies about how many go unreported. Until that happens, I'll stick to my the 80%.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02446191842560064784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489363879633129568.post-84871683449149883052015-03-09T07:03:35.231-07:002015-03-09T07:03:35.231-07:00OH yeah the link to the video is here.

Or telling their co work I cant lift any more because my Dr. told me not to, so you co worker have to tear up your back now. Sorry.<br /><br />How many herniated dics are just being called sprains? <br />And folks being told to just keep stretching and deep breathing and calling in sick each time you flare up, so as you get fire in the end.<br /><br />80 percent do not go just fine. They just choose not to fight back is all. Or the next time their injuries harm them, they do not use comp they put it on their reg insurance. <br /><br />So I do not believe that 80 percent number of the claims go fine, is correct. <br /><br />How many of that 80% are just giving up & putting their injures on reg ins? <br /><br />Nationalize Work Comp or get some real strong federal mandates going to protect the workers its supposed to be there to serve. Is the only way labor will ever find equity in our system today. <br /><br />For having 50 little chicken coops for the the Fox''s to raid is just to tempting for the fox's and too many for the farmer to police. Thus the little chickens get eaten in the end. Peace and thanks as always, and as an injured workes I found those reports to be spot on. <br /><br />And this video of it was the best media the injured workers have gotten ever. <br /><br />It is an injured workers REVOLUTION. Weather the big boys or the status qou likes it or not. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682181549172380545noreply@blogger.com
