The Lying Doctor who workers comp sent you to that said "NO REASON FOR PAIN FOUND is the 3rd party who caused further injury by returning the injured worker back to work, without any investigation of injury!
Thanks
2 spinal injuries / 2 shoulder injuries - denied medical care and told "OH YOUR INJURIES should cause you any pain; FU WORKERS COMP;
I needed this video thank you all
Amazing information ℹ️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
24:36 interrupted right when he starts talking about what I watched the whole video for
Im a foreigner here in Japan I am suffering now in hernia in my neck and hips because of heavy lifting works
I got hurt at work over 13 months ago and I quit my job because of it because the doctor I seen said I could go back to work a week later I worked in shipping on a towmotor loading trucks and lifted a 50lb propane tank and blew out my shoulder and my boss wanted me to come back to work and as of now my doctor has my back on just how bad I am and the BWC has no choice but I live in Ohio so now with no payments at all I will go after them all.
Great content.
The attorney for an insurance company doesnt want you to see her interest is to pay the least amount out as possible NOT help people who are injured. Mental gymnastics. These companies dont want to follow through on their end, just collect checks from policy holders and fuck the people over who theyre supposed to be covering.
Funny how they forgot the judge was even there in; the room until he had to open his mouth to make himself known
The I in IME stands for insurance, not independent.
See this program on the same channel "Independent Medical Exam in a Workers' Comp Case"
@LolaGirl-to7zj my point is,they you get sent to them by the insurance company and rhey get paid by the insurance company. Hardly independent.
It's halfway through the video and I haven't heard nothing about the patient's everyday struggles and how that is an important matter.
Meanwhile, you attorneys and judges are discussing money later on down the line these workers comp companies are violating the injured party's civil rights and basic human rights!
My case is open. I've had a IME that says I can't return to work without further treatment yet the insurance company won't simply authorize the treatment. Due to the negligence in treatment I've lost my position at my job! NOR HAVE I BEEN PAID IN OVER A MONTH! My children are hungry and I'm facing eviction! Im suffering from severe depression from being in constant pain! Being unable to work! And looking at my children go without food clothes and shelter!! My credit has been severely damaged by non payment and no one at Sedgwicks CMS give me a damn!
WHAT ABOUT THE INJURED PERSON!?!?!!!
My low back injury in (1998) the motion picture business as a lighting technician making great money happened now 16 yrs ago. I was told by the agreed medical examiner that I could be retrained and go back to work in a new career. So I settled for life time medical and the knowledge that I would be able to work. I injured my low back which bears 50 % of our body weight. The doctor lied about being able to do the computer tech job I was re trained for. I never could stand and lean over a computer or do anything for 8 hours a day let alone a half hour. The doctor omitted, what a specialist like him orthopedic board certified Doctor Weiss in Santa Anna California should have known, in the matter that a degenerative disc only gets worse, and never better. His medical report has many loop holes and nothing said in certainty except that I can return to work which was a lie. So for 16 years I am thinking why am I in pain and why am I not working? I finally figured out it was all a lie. Now my body is twisted and the doctor never said I would become somewhat disfigured. One bad disc has now led to many above and below due to trying to accommodate the offset disc. My back is all out now and I have to try (prayers) to revisit the case through arbitration. I now have increased pain in legs and upper back now. There were people before you with a similar injury so research people 10 years later after their injury and ask questions. Look all over the internet for info. My current doctor makes request for treatment and then it goes to a URB utilization review board of doctors that never see me and only see the notes from my doctor. The doctors, to stay in business, have to be on the insurance side, and are not here for us. It has been very difficult and I have lost much mentally physically and in relationships. It sucks. I now have to try reopen my case.
I got payed 2ooo n check every week for a year just figured thats nt enough im permanent hurt but still work light duty I got hurt inside 18wheeler loading tires ninside truck when driver got in truck n start truck up while im inside loading tires then my accident happen n thats all I get nt right

@@onyekaokafor4785 lmao
What is the law if both employer and 3rd party are both 100% at fault????
Is cop,s and Judges a third part When asslutes via Them After 43 attempts on my life.
From the moment you are being treated by workman's comp Dr. you are bring scrutinized first by your employer then the insurance company. As if we asked for the Injury to happen to us. Just fix me like I was and I will tell you when I'm finally there. Fix it or allow the workers more support and services who are injured. Instead of denying everyone at first glance.
These DRs are being paid for from worker’s compensation or work force. So what is the dr going to say. That’s right no nothing
I completely disagree with the lady that claims that the workers compensation system can make you whole. Bulls**t! Insurance companies want to do and pay little as possible for the medical care which is mostly band-aid treatment. I had to actually had to go on Medicaid pay for my worker's compensation injury. You have to go through so many workers compensation industrial hearings which the hearing officers 99% of the time favor their decision towards the employer so the injured worker gets screwed. I have a lot of experience with this corrupted workers compensation system. I only collected Temporary Total Disability for only 5 1/2 months and was forced to go on welfare. I even went back to school for a field that is way less physical than then job that I once had where I got injured at. This lady here don't know what she's talking about.
+Mary Allen I wish she had to go through workers comp and was unable to work. Then we'd see how whole that piece of shit is
+David Perry I completely agree with you on that.
Can you apply for Medicaid while waiting for your workers comp desicion.
*Spread Awareness! The following is just a small list of crimes that are facilitated against injured workers. Help to spread awareness of these crimes.
1. Employers who lie in an effort to deny the injured worker the benefits / medical treatment afforded under the workers compensation law(s)
2. Falsifying of medical & surgery reports and the minimizing of the injury to save the insurance carrier / employer money i.e. Doctors, AME’s, QME’s who falsely document / medical reports or eliminate the injured workers written descriptions of the injury and/or pain charts, sketches and letters
3. Deceptive methods of having an injured worker sign multiple page forms wherein the first page is marked differently than the pages underneath
4. The intentional maiming and battery of the injured workers body during medical treatments for strategic reasons i.e. “creating the look of a condition or condition(s)” that will be then be used against the injured worker for defense purposes during trial or as retaliation & mental abuse
5. Intrusions into the injured workers home to set up video and audio and to taint or poison their food, move personal items from one area of their home to another part of the home leaving the IW to wonder how an item got from one part of their home to another aka “gaslighting” (these type of tactics are implemented to mentally abuse the IW), the removing of items from the injured workers home including their WC related documents - theft
6. Vandalizing the injured workers personal property including their car / automobile / home
7. Overt aggressive surveillance conducive of stalking and/or harassing of the injured worker (not to be confused with sub-rosa style surveillance)
8. Hacking into the injured workers e-mails, social networking accounts & computers
9. Intentional disruption / covert dropping of phone calls that may include calls the injured worker makes for emergency purposes including 911 Emergency, intercepting of phone calls including incoming and outgoing phone calls
10. Harassment via cell phone and home phone tricks that include the appearance of the injured worker calling themselves on their own phone (false caller ID) or the appearance of the IW calling their home phone from their cell phone that is not in use (false caller ID)
11. Interference with injured workers medical / healthcare appointments with their general practitioner “outside of workers comp”, trips to the hospital for pain or trips to an urgent care facility - all are opportunities to “design your medical reports” to favor the insurance carrier (may be utilized at trial for defense) Shockingly, the hospitals, urgent care facilities and other medical providers not associated with workers compensation often times cooperate with the defense firm’s & insurance carrier’s investigators. Healthcare providers are induced to cooperate with these corrupt individuals by virtue of false information and lies that they are provided to show the IW in a negative light.
12. Harassment of the injured workers family members that may include harassing false collection agencies threatening to have the family member arrested & many other tactics
13. If the injured worker does not have legal representation, it is likely that the WC Justice system will be influenced against the injured worker including at mandatory settlement conferences or at trial. Judges have been known to be “bought”. An injured worker without an attorney can be a sitting duck depending how hungry the defense firm is / lack of integrity & ethics, who the insurance carrier is and if the employer approved or encouraged the “program” i.e. the entire harassing / abusive / traumatizing procedural tactics!
14. Malicious & unwarranted prosecution of the injured worker. Some injured workers have died defending themselves. They are called liars and treated with disbelief or a campaign to question to mental status will be implemented.
During a conversation that I had with someone who works at the WCAB in California, I was told, "It is the attorneys!" I have no doubt. Some of these attorneys must be psychopaths to implement such horrific crimes against an injured worker, all for money and anything to keep the case open so that they, themselves, can "milk" their own clients, the employer and/or the insurance carrier.
There are a plethora of crimes that are committed against injured workers. It doesn't matter if the injured worker is represented or not. Injured workers can be targeted due to their age, whether or not they live alone, the nature of their injury, what it may cost to remedy the WC claim, retaliation from a vengeful employer and more.
If you file a workers compensation claim, from the very beginning, it behooves you to be on the lookout for these and other tactics. Protect yourself, carry a camera with you at all times, carry a recording device with you to be utilized at any and all medical appointments in or out of the workers compensation system and during any consults or treatments with workers compensation medical providers and with your attorney! Take pictures of all forms that you complete or sign as sometimes, IWs are denied copies! If you can, take a friend with you to act as your health advocate. You are permitted, in most cases, to have an advocate with you. If at any time you feel that someone has been in your home or apartment, you may be right! If you eat something at home that makes you sick or disrupts your body in any way or your nervous system, save the food so that you can report it to the police! Purchase home surveillance for your kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living room. As my former attorney said to me after the fact, insurance carriers can be heartless and brutal! Take care of you!
I would add to your list ...getting the employer to change an industrial accident caused by employer health n safety breaches, to ' accident' caused by IW. Lucky i have the original Reports vs the falsified ones sent to the solicitor (uk).
Excuse me, in regards to being a "firm believer that not for the rest of their lives" everyone A paraplegic or a chronically ill person are clients injured for the rest of their lives. For example, a veteran of war and a person from an accident who cannot longer stand up from a wheelchair or the ones suffering flashbacks from mental traumas are permanent injuries, Madame. And if the cure will be to give them a life like the rest of people who enjoy without prejudice a chance at an education and employment, that should be the main recovery concern in the legal system. Why should people suffer in silence for the rest of their lives due to issues that can be resolute with such a simple arrangement?
Worker’s Compensation only protects the employees I’ve said Worker’s Comp. association and the doctors they use and pay for our going to side with the employees at the Worker’s Compensation offices
Who responsible for paying for I.M.E's and urine test's that comp makes you take? You shouldn't have to pay them back for things that they make you do.
In los angeles we don't pay anything while a case is open!
Glass Man is go v
Attention; Lorie, Laurie: Or however you spell your name; At 7;40 of this video, you state, I am a firm believer, that not everyone is injured for the rest of their lives;
I suffered multiple spinal workplace injuries, due to medical malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty, my injuries were debated, non-diagnosed, denied medical care by workers comp, who stated, a fractured coccyx, doesn't require treatment as it heals on it own. (I also suffered broken back, that went undiagnosed 2 yrs) I received spinal injections with celestone, marcaine, depro-medrol: which caused, incurable spinal disease from injections; Adhesive Arachnoidits; I cannot work due to intractable pain flares; AA (adhesive arachnoiditis) pain like cancer without the release of DEATH;
She's an idiot
The entire system is broken. Listening to this woman state that the
WC program can assist a person to become whole after following an injury while at work is so full of herself. I found her attitude nauseating and ignorant. . The obviously has never had any type of WC injury greater than a possible paper cut. I was injured over 20 years ago due to a manager who felt it was ok to use red tagged piece of broken equipment over buying new, resulting in a bracket breaking, allowing a 250 lb person already intubated to start falling off an operating room table. in a knee jerk reaction I grabbed her and wrestled her back onto the table, resulting in multiple herniated and ruptured disc in my neck and back. If I would have closed my case within a year or even 5 years after my injury, I would have been in a horrible spot due to the health issues that came up after these years. Neuropathy, Radiculopathy, bowel and bladder disorders caused from Quadra Equina syndrome, and to top it all....I've lost almost 80% of my hearing as a result from multiple anti inflammatories prescribed for over 20 years. WC is now trying to make me close out the case by refusing to approve ANY of the medications I have been taking continuously, some for the entire 21 years. They utilize a third party (BOUGHT) physician that quickly scans a chart and then writes the report the WC wants. I was advised by my pain management Doctor that this third party physician deserves to have a Mal practice suit brought against her for treating patients without actually physically contacting the patient. This is actually no different than those Drs being bought up on Medicare fraud for writing they have seen / treated a patient when in fact they have not. In my instance , the WC has now declined to allow any meds to be filled without any notice to me what so ever. I suppose they have not realized by now that I am not the dog that rolls over and plays dead. Though I have had a catistrauphic injury, undergone multiple surgeries, I DO continue to work full time as an orthopedic operating room nurse. The WC mindset is unclear to me....they don't want the injured worker to take time off, and yet as with people such as myself whom are the only support for their family, they want to punish the injured worker as if the incident was on purpose. WC continuously make being seen by a Dr. more difficult as well as getting approval for tests, getting approval for medications. I personally would enjoy a sit down conversation with this spokeswoman to find out just what the world looks like through her rose colored glasses. and then demand what action she has that is going to make the broken worker "whole" again. It is people like her that cause the IW to develop distain and lack of trust.
