Post: shoulder surgery from fall at work

Posted by cj on 6/26/08

took a fall at work tripping over curb at entrance. Tore
labrum and frayed bicep tendon. Surgery was done as
shoulder froze while trying to self treat and continue
working. After surgery was on W/C. Needed to go to Phys.
therapy daily for 3 weeks following surgery. Asked W/C if
they could supply ride or cover cab costs - said no. Had
to drive back and forth with one arm everyday and
subsequently developed tear in good shoulder. By the way
I've heard it's not legal driving with one arm in my
State. Should legal action be taken against my W/C
insurer?

Thank you.
