Workers comp cut me off 8 weeks ago because they didn't want
me to go to vocational rehab because it would cost them a
bundle. See I made a lot of money at my job. My injurie
ended my carrear. They will have to pay a wage differential
to me because they cant train me for a job making that much
money. So they tried to starve me by cutting off my ttd. My
attorney took them to court. It took about 8 weeks. On this
monday my attorney went in front of the arbitrator to argue
for my continued pay and back pay. Workmens comp attorney
didn't show and called my attorney and said they raise the
white flag that they will pay my back pay and send me to
voc.rehab. If your really hurt and they owe you money your
attorney should file a 19b petition to get an early hearing
date in front of the arbitrator. If workers comp owes you
money and wont pay they can be held in violation of the law.
If the arbitrtor holds them in violation then you get the
money for that violation which can be thousands of dollars.
9 times out of 10 workers comp will push it to the point
right before they are about to get a violation the they will
give in. They do this to try and starve you into a low
settlement. This is done because of the adjusters. Workmens
comp. adjusters are scum bag people. They purposly check
your credit reports to see if you are struggling and stop
your pay to save the ins. company money. What kind of
individual would stop income to a disabled person. A workers
comp adjuster would because they are scum. I would love to
see them get hurt and have someone do that to them. If you
stick it out they will pay but you have to have an aggressive
attorney. Good luck.
