Subject: RE: Nameless wrote a post with actual thought :)
Sure, there are some that have been video taped and were wrong. Thing is, it's a very small percentage compared to the actual injured workers out there. I've known people that have lost everything they owned because of WC.
What you don't seem to understand is that the insurance companies (WC) are many times more fraudulant then the few that are bucking the system. I can't go in and video tape the coverstations of people turning down injured workers. I can't prove the kickbacks or the raises they get from it. What I have done is tape a converstation catching my own voc rehab case worker in several lies. I've caught another voc case manager (different company since the other was now gone) secretly altering my medical appointments. These are groups that WC hire to do there dirty work. I know a specialized WC attorney (not mine) who went to an insurance seminar where WC agents (plural) were asking him how to work a case to the advantage of the insurance company. He had to tell them he was NOT an attorney for the insurance company. It is a disgrace! These my dear are all FACTS! Sorry if they aren't in the books for you. You will have to take my word on it.
Sorry if you think I'm not very bright but that is part of your problem. You seem to think that you are better then everyone else for some reason and that's just not right. I've also known people that have been video taped. That video wasn't used because they did nothing wrong. Your photographers were extremely aggressive. Why is it that the insurance companies won't let the doctors do there job??? Not only that but some people including myself have been treated like a criminal for being hurt. That's not right either. Many have done nothing wrong other then get hurt. So does that mean that EVERY injured worker is lying??? That's how they are treated. No, nothing can be done to the insurance companies, they are never held liable for anything. An insurance company will go out of there way to make the injured workers life a living hell. That is also a fact.
My wish???? Is that every person that works for the insurance company ends up on this system. Only then will they find out exactly the insurance company treats the injured worker. Honestly, there is not enough money to live on from being injured. The monies that are faught for at the end is to maintain medical treatment and medication in the future. Problem is, WC refuses to pay it without a fight. It's all figured out in a formula yet WC will drag it out as long as possible. The other thing WC is good at?? Refusing calls, refusing to reply and also refusing to do what was agreed to even after they had signed the papers. If the injured worker did anything like this they are booted from the system. Nothing happens to the insurance company.
