My medical bills reached over $80,000.00 for a work comp injury and they had no choice but to pay them. I also made them pay future medical bills and they had to pay for the percentage of loss that I had.  Check the laws for your state on Workers Comp. and don't always trust your attorney. There are good honest ones out there but there are also the ones who want you to settle just so they can get their money.

Contact a personal injury lawyer.  Most charge a contingency fee - that is a percentage of what you make on the claim.  The usual amount is about 20-30% of the verdict.  On the plus side. they only make money if you win the case.\n\nThey can also help stave off creditors until the matter is resolved and you are back on your feet again.

You need to start with the department of labor.  They will investigate this for you for free and make an attempt to get your money for you.  Then you can also contact the United States Department of Labor if you are unable to resolve this on a state level.  Contact the US Secretary of labor Elain Chao  http://www.dol.gov/

I would strongly suggest going back to your local office and asking to speak to a person specializing in the workers comp offset - do not try this by telephone as you will not get a good answer.  Your teachers pay is basically a public payment as you are paid by the taxpayers - I don't know if your state treats it any differently than other states.  check with your pension people.

Workers Comp is paid by your employer.  The income is usually taxable.

If your employer is on the stand, yes.  But I would ask a lawyer to make sure.

Every state has there own version of workers comp laws which in my opinion is utterly ridiculous however, most seem to have a common guideline.\nIn NYS, you are entitled to your own physician and his/her decisions and treatment generally prevail. However, the state permits IME's for the insurance companies to which they have abused the privilage beyond comprehension! In most instances, the judges will rule in favor of your physician but we do have a couple of "insurance" judges hearing cases and filling their pockets as we all know how the system works!\nI would complain LOUDLY to my own doctor and request an MRI and possibly a second opinion from a neurologist who specializes in that field.\nDO NOT LET THE INSURANCE COMPANY DOCTOR TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE!!!!! He gets paid by the insurance company so he is naturally going to write what they would like to hear! It is his "bread and butter" to which he could care less about you! It's sort of the "American" way---MONEY FIRST-MORALS LATER!!!!Keep in mind you are putting your future in someone elses hands that has one thought and one thought only---MONEY!!!!!!\nYou have an entire life ahead of you that this injury may come back to haunt you in the future so make darn sure you take that in to account NOW!!!! STAND YOUR GROUND! GET A COMP ATTORNEY ASAP!!!!!!

Depends on the state and the number of employees the business has.  Some states require all businesses to have Workers Compensation (WC) coverage.  Other states exempt certain types of employers (i.e. agricultural) or employers who have a very small number of employees (perhaps 2 or 3 at the most).\n\nIf, in your state, you were required to carry WC but did not, some states require you to pay what WC would pay out of your own pocket.  Others would expose you to the risk of a lawsuit like I mention in the next paragraph.\n\nIf you were not required to carry WC (for one of the reasons mentioned above), your employee could sue you in court alleging negligence and seek damages just like an auto accident.  The employee would only recover if the jury found you at fault.  But the concept of "comparative negligence" does not apply in these cases.  If an employee is partly at fault for their own injury, they can still collect the full award without it being reduced because they were partly at fault.\n\nConfusing???

It's workers compensation and employers resent it because their premiums rise.\n\nUnfortunately there is probably a statute of limitations problem. The limitations period for fraud -- which this may be, since she reported it -- is usually six years. It would be hard to argue that the limitation was tolled by her being lulled (technical terms) for 10 years.\n\nThat's why labor unions are so important. She would never have been allowed not to seek medical care. And if she did seek such care, there may be a malpractice case -- and its limitations period would be different (but doubtless also past -- still, worth checking).\n\nMy back was hurt when a wooden chair collapsed under me in a Holiday Inn last year. Their insurance company is about to reimburse me for nearly $10,000 in medical expenses and I'm seeking reimbursement for three months in bed and pain for the rest of my life. I would have laughed (if the pain would have let me) at anyone telling me not to pursue it. (I have medical insurance, but that has deductibles and co-pay.)\n\nP.S. My daughter went to the hotel and photographed the chair a week later. They'd actually glued the clean break of the wooden leg where it meets the seat! It would be a good punitive damages case if I could get it in a USA court. Stupid hotel. Cheap chair. Here's the photo: http://tinyurl.com/y5wp36 (It isn't obvious in the picture but the leg broke clean off and they just glued the jagged parts together with white wood glue.)

I had a friend injured while engaged in a work related situation, and she went from regular employee to Worker's Comp.  If your husband has been turned into Worker's Comp, it's a different type of classification. They do have Worker's Comp attorneys and you might want to consult with one to determine your situation.
