Work Comp!

[Tom Joad]

So I guess I can assume that all of these "1,278 days without an accident" signs that I see at these industrial sites are bullshit?

Dam that sucks Jay ! its been a couple of decades since my last workers comp claim. Even then my employer tried hosing me good. I grabbed a great WC lawyer who really socked it to them. Hope it all works out for you soon. Most of all get better first.

Such signs usually say 1,278 days without a lost-time accident. This is frequently achieved by so-called "walking wounded" programs whereby employers encourage workers to stay at work on light-duty assignments after they have been injured. This keeps their injuries off the books and helps such contractors' numbers look better to prospective clients.

I tore the meniscus in my left knee and had the MRI within a day or to. Maryland must be different. All in all what with ultrasounds MRI etc I must have logged 400 ,miles on the car and wasted two days in Emergency. AT the end the speci@list said ''it will heal". So the following year when I tore the right knee I said I am not going through all that crap again and stayed home. BTW both healed.
