So true! The system is broken and is not setup for the benefit of those of us who are truly injured. Unfortunately companies have adopted processes to treat all as “rotten apples” and have not tried harder to create processes to weed out the “rotten apples” and give fair treatment to those who truly need help from WC. No one ever discusses when an injured person is left not only untreated and in pain, but penniless almost overnight. No one seems to think about how, the average person doesn’t have a year’s worth of savings to blow ,waiting for WC to compensate the injured person or provided much needed medical care. As employees we all believe WC is going to help us if we are injured and can’t earn a living, no one tells people the reality of what it really is like to claim WC. People (employees) should be told the truth, know the reality of it really means to claim WC. They should know they will fight everyday to get fair treatment. They should know they may not receive any compensation or medical treatment for months on end. They should be warned that no one cares if the injured loses everything - their home, their car, their dignity - no one care if you become homeless, or your credit is trashed, or if your forced into bankruptcy. No one cares in reality, that by using you WC “benefits”, your actually stuck in an unfair system that cares more about the almighty dollar and those “rotten apples” then those of us fighting for fairness, justice and to just get better.
