Dave1647545494 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 you should be recieving comp from the state at the minimum + short term disability if you job had employees and doesn't have comp insurance you can run them through a wringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Wow man, that sucks. But I'd have to agree with the others and consult a lawyer. You have to do what you have to do to take care of your family. You know that they come first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 It isnt about taking your employer to the bank... And they should have insurance for this type of thing. To the OP. I remember reading some stories from you about other people getting (almost?) seriously hurt or almost killed. NO job is unsafe, the job practices are unsafe. Any job can be safe (relatively speaking) if you have a the right training and procedures in place. You go seriously hurt and from the sounds of it I doubt they are taking it seriously. Not taking that seriously is going to kill someone. That's a shitty company that does not care about their workers or people in general more than their bottom line, not matter how you cut it. Don't feel sorry for them for expecting you to work in unsafe conditions/with unsafe procedures and not caring about you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Oh and you cant sue your employer in ohio. Who the fuck told you that? I'm going to guess not a lawyer (at least not a competent one and/or not one in this type of law). First, that statement is NEVER true. You can sue for anything, even if it has no legal standing. And it will go through at least some kind of hearings. Rules for civil court are a lot different than criminal court. You probably can't sue them (end up getting money) for letting you go since Ohio is an at will employment state. Everyone here is talking about compensation for getting hurt and needing to go into a different field (retrain).

STEVE-O Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 sorry had to put it that in my sig at least for a little bit.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 So, what's the next step for you then? What other jobs are you looking at? I still have PT to go through then to a site who will try to simulate my job. Once there I assume they will evaluate wether or not I can do my job and I will then start looking for something else. http://www.donaheylaw.com/PracticeAreas/PracticeAreaDescriptions2.asp Are you sure about that, and if so, Workers Compensation? *edit* Workers comp is insurance for the employee. You get hurt, you get payed. Your pay I believe is 68% of you base pay.(this is temporary). you should be recieving comp from the state at the minimum + short term disability if you job had employees and doesn't have comp insurance you can run them through a wringer I am getting workers comp benefits but it is a fraction of what I am usually payed. They only give benefits based on your base salary. Which in my case doesnt take into consideration all my other wages, which doubles my base. Who the fuck told you that?

Everyone here is talking about compensation for getting hurt and needing to go into a different field (retrain). Sure I can bring them up on suit but in ohio, I believe it is called " stop gap liability", thats what the attorneys I have spoken to said. Unless there is a gross negligence, in this case, a bolt broke, there is no case. I have spoken with several attorneys. My work wont let me go necessarily but if I am unable to perform my job, there is no choice. It will fall upon WC's shoulders to help me get a new job. sorry had to put it that in my sig at least for a little bit. I hope I was not the only one who loled a little bit reading this.... have you talked to anyone in your family about a lawyer or anything yet?? I knew someone would when I was typing it, and almost thought twice about it, but if it put a smile on just your face it was worth it.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 In ohio we have workers comp. The only way you can sue your employer is if there is proof that they knowing put you at risk. It is very hard to prove and most attorneys will not touch it. There was a case I believe in cincinnatti where an employer told employees that the chemicals they were using were benine. Until people started getting sick. It was proven that the company knowing lied and therefore put employees in danger. I knew this all along. Thus the reason for no attorney.

If you have talked to attorneys why didn't you say that up front, instead of letting us go on for 2 pages about "why havent you talked to one?" Are you eligible for disability?

Are you eligible for disability? I didnt think that there was that many people working in Ohio that didnt know what workers comp was for or how it was used. I am partially disabled now but I dont know how long that label will be on me. I figure at some point they will make me just disabled if I dont fully heal. I can tell everyone it is an absolute frustrating process and I dont wish it on anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiumss Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 You need to get a lawyer ASAP! Years ago my mom got hurt at work (plastic factory), long story short she won her case against workmans comp and got a settlement, wasn't 100's of thousands of $$$$ but it sure helped out. You and your family comes before anyone else, (including your employer) if you think other wise, then I don't know what else to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could sue for my benefits if it ever comes down to that but we are nowhere near that yet. And that would be with the government. I have to wait until a determination is done stating I am unable to ever work again. Which probably isnt going to happen. I cant sue the bolt manufacturer because there is no bolt to test. It was lost in the malay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I cant sue the bolt manufacturer because there is no bolt to test. It was lost in the malay. Hehe your not thinking like a lawyer, it wasn't lost it was removed by the evil company and that in itself is as good as any proof of their fault.

Don't pretend to be a lawyer or know how they think, GET ONE ASAP! I'm not trying to be an azz, until a lawyer explains your rights under workmans comp, you won't know all the facts. If you get the right lawyer, it won't cost you anything upfront. Bottom line, if you can't do the line of work after your injury, you will get some kind of settlement.

Alex1647545498 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Wow, that really sucks... so if they judge you as unable to perform fully at what you used to do at work. You'll at least be able to claim disability of some sort right? You said the money sucks but at least its income. Maybe Tina can get a better source of income to supplement?
