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.

    • Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

    • The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
