Company Wearing You Down?
After a serious work injury or fatality involving a family member, you have a lot of decisions to make. The problem is, company representatives and claims adjusters keep bombarding you with forms, questions, and more forms. And it seems like they are multiplying: one for workers compensation, one for a liability insurance company, one for your employer, one for a third party. Can't these people get together and streamline this process better? And none of them seem concerned with how you are going to see doctors for your work injuries. They seem more concerned about when you are going to return to work, which is the farthest thing from your mind right now. When you ask them questions, you always get the same answer: "it's procedure." You begin to wonder whether this "procedure" is designed to help you -- or hurt you.
