IN DEC. 2003 WHILE WORKING FOR TARGET, I INJURED NECK AND
BACK. MANAGEMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE LET FLOOR CREWS POLISH
FLOORS WERE WE WERE WORKING, POWDER LIKE RESIDUE ON FLOORS
VERY HAZARDOUS. WHILE STOCKING SHELF I SLIPPED WITH LARGE
BAG OF DOG FOOD OVER HEAD. WAS NOT SENT FOR MEDICAL
TREATMENT, TALKED TO NURSE ON PHONE 3 DAYS LATER, STATED
LIGHT DUTY. MANAGEMENT SAID NO LIGHT DUTY, WAS PUT BACK ON
UNLOADING TRUCKS SAME NIGHT. TRIED HANDLING PAIN AT WORK
FOR FEW DAYS, HURT MY BACK MORE HAD TO LEAVE WORK IN
EXCRUCIATING PAIN, TOLD TO GO HOME TAKE ADVIL. WASNT SENT
FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR 30 DAYS. ( I THINK THIS IS ALOT
OF NEGLIGENCE ON MANAGEMENT) FIRST DOCTOR VISIT, SAID NO
WORK, 6-8 WEEKS OF THERAPY MINIMUM. NEXT DAY TARGET CALLS
ME AT HOME TO TELL ME I AM NO LONGER EMPLOYED BY THEM. ( IS
THIS LEGAL) NEXT DOCTOR APT. ( 1 WEEK) WITHOUT EXAM I AM
GIVEN A COMPLETE RELEASE? ( TO COVER TARGETS ASSS OR WHAT)
STILL BEING PAIN WITH NO MEDICAL INSURANCE, I GET ATTORNEYS
ADVISE. TARGET DID PAY WORK. COMP. FOR ONE MONTH. ATTORNEY
SENDS ME TO DOCTOR, NEED EXTENSIVE THERAPY AND MUSCLE
RELAXERS HAD THERAPY FOR ABOUT 9-10 MONTHS BUT WITH NO
INCOME I COULD NOT KEEP GOING, I ASK FOR A RELEASE.
ATTORNEY SAID THEY COULDNT HELP UNTIL I WAS RELEASED.
TARGET THEN SENDS ME TO STATE EVALUATED DOCTOR, HE FINDS I
AM 35% PERMANENT AND STATIONARY DISABLED.( IF I AM STILL
DISABLED, 15 MONTHS AFTER MY INJURY, HAVENT I BEEN THE
WHOLE TIME) I RECIEVE $100 A WEEK DISABILITY, I CANT EVEN
SURVIVE, AND MY BACK HURTS TO MUCH WHEN I STAND TO LONG,
SIT TO LONG. I HAVE TRIED GETTING JOBS, BUT BECAUSE OF MY
LIMITATIONS, THEY DONT LAST TO LONG. CAN ANY ATTORNEY GIVE
ME SOME ADVISE? CASE#ALV5514 SHOULDN'T TARGET HAVE TO
PAY ME FROM THE DATE OF INJURY TILL NOW AT LEAST?
