DEAR "GET A LIFE",

YOUR A MORON! IF YOU HAVE EVER "ONCE" BEEN THROUGH THIS
WORKMANS COMP NIGHTMARE YOU WOULD POTENTIALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT
THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH! NOT JUST THE INJURED
INDIVIDUAL BUT THE FAMILIES AS WELL! YES, YIPPEE! THE WC
INSURANCES COVER THE SURGERIES (AND I MEAN PLURAL) THAT MOST OF
THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND RECOVER FROM BUT WHAT ABOUT
THE LOSS OF INCOME AND STRESS THAT THE FAMILY ENDURES?? YEAH,
THEY GET "DISABILITY BENEFITS", BUT OFTEN TIMES THESE INJURED
PARTIES ARE THE SOLE PROVIDERS FOR THEIR FAMILIES OR IN THE
CASES WHERE THERE ARE TWO INCOMES, THE SPOUSE OF THE INJURED
NEEDS TO STAY HOME OR TAKE AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF TIME OFF TO AID
IN CARING FOR THE INURED SPOUSE!

IF YOU TOOK THE TIME TO ACTUALLY READ THE ABOVE MESSAGE (W.
SUE)...SHE WAS ASKING IF SHE WOULD RECEIVE A SETTLEMENT TO
COVER ANY FUTURE COMPLICATIONS FROM THIS INJURY! GOD YOUR AN
IDIOT! SHE HAS EVERY INTENTION OF RETURNING TO HER FORMER JOB
YOU KNOW TO "WORK FOR HER MONEY"! SHE JUST WANTS TO ENSURE
THAT "SHE" WILL NOT BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MEDICAL
INTERVENTION THAT MAY NEED TO TAKE PLACE IN THE FUTURE FOR THIS
INJURY!

SINCERELY,
YOUR A MORON
