Should I get a lawyer?


88 Bronco

Recommended Posts

May 2008 a co-work flipped a gas powered utility cart i was the passenger in. I have a lot of road rash on an arm and knees and required knee surgery (just to clean up damaged cartilage). The knee is mostly better, it sometimes aches and stairs aren't fun. The orthopedic specialist gave me a 5% impairment rating. I had an informal conference with workman's comp today, and the number they came up with for the settlement seems kind of low. I still work for this company and would prefer to continue employment there.

phew....thought this was about Salty becoming your new step dad!!!

I am not up on all the laws and poo, but it seems everyone else is suing someone for far less than what happened to you!

I don't think he wants to buy the cow.

Seriously, I agree. I realize this is a lawyer's dream. I didn't do anything worng but show up at work.

Take if from me!

YES!

At least talk with one. They will tell you up front, whether you have a case or not. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT just pick one out of the phone book!

My employer's Wroker's Comp lawyer offered me $36,000 to settle. I'm a paraplegic as a result of a OTJ injury! I'll be happy to give you my lawyers name, though he usually deals with bigger cases. If he doesn't want the case, I imagine he can point you to someone that will do a good job for you.

My lawyer and I have been working on my case for almost 2 years now, but he has done great things for me. It's their lawyers that keep dragging things out.

By law, your employer can not fire you because you have a pending Worker's Comp case against them.

I know I have a case. I guess the question becomes do I think I'm entitled to more than what I think I am. But yeah I guess I could call your lawyer. I am in SC if that makes a difference.

    • Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason.    1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo.  4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here.  6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back?    I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once.    I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that wouldn’t endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either.   
    • This is my answer. If I got board I would just do guest drop ins to obscure podcasts but would definitely collect the cash from Tepper.
