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.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
