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.

      Draft Taylen Green

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      My tailoring green idea was not for him to be the starter but to add some value beyond just a developmental quarterback I think size speed is something Bryce doesn't have he has those and would immediately feel the fourth and one package and possibly red zone and some power packages for us

      Do you have against Willis I believe you're around when we have the draft with corral and Willis were on the board and me personally I was banging the table for Willis as early as round one but a lot of people thought corral was better but it's amazing with a little coaching and time can do with me I always go with potential and upside versus oh the guy just plays football you know sometimes that's not enough

      Would kenyon sadiq fill 2 needs?

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      I know or needs and this probably isn't with a lot of people want but if he's available at 19 I don't think you can discount that he would be the best player on the board I think with 43 speed he's as fast as leggette. 63240 something he would stretch the field  Strike fear over the middle of opposing linebackers and also probably cure our long time history of no serviceable tight end since Greg Olsen I think a lot of needs like tackle maybe linebacker could be filled and free agency to the point like they did last year where we fix a lot of this and draft the best player we can on the board.  After his combine and the numbers in the 43-in vertical I'm not sure that he will be available but if he is I bet that he's highly considered what say you
