ORIGINAL: tazzygirl ~shudders I would rather kiss a hot poker than deal with WC again. Tazzy I would suck that hot poker had my accident never happened...workers comp sucks.In New York though it is a WC court that you go into...it is an insurance company that administers the program.They delayed my surgeries despite their own doctors signing off on them....they delayed the lamenectomy(I hope I have that right) till nerves were so damaged that I started losing feeling in my left leg.Nerves damaged so do not recover...so having made my situation worse by delaying......they then cut off payment for physical therapy too soon,at least according to my therapist,my neurosurgeon and my orthopedic surgeon...by the time the matter went in front of a judge....fusion had set in....thereby making further therapy useless. At ,my final WC hearing...when they were handed a permanent disability bill...all the Doctors testified that their decisions and administration of my case contributed to me having an appreciable partial neck dis,an appeciable partial shoulder/arm dis and an appreciable partial back dis.....the judge ruled that adding all of those partial disabilities together equalled a total lifetime disability. The insurance company immediately asked me if I would accept a lump sum payment....I told their rep no fucking way....keep writing the checks...and be prepared for any future sugeries my doctors and I might decide I need. Insurance companies suck!
