Yes you have a lawsuit. Don't accept any workers compensation checks or you will lose your rights. Get a lawer now.

actually I just had a training session on this, if your carpal tunnel is permananent they have to treat it as a disability, however if it is a temporary condition usually compared to a broken leg, then your employer is required to make reasonable accomodation for you. As far as other employers when asked why you need to explain. If you are the best qualified then you should be hired, I think you and the poster that was fired after the 12 weeks needs to contact the EEOC and have them do an investigation. Most companies do not want to have them involved and are ready to settle, also FYI if they are found negligible you are eligible for $300,000 for each incident.

when i bought my house i was replacing the downstairs floors and there was this lead pipe which i assumed was a redudant gas pipe.so i decided to saw it coz it was in my way.unfortunatly for me it wasnt a gas pipe but a mains cable to my house.it blew a large section out of my saw,sparks everywhere.i was lucky my saw had a plastic handle.i rang the electricity company up saying that i could smell burning from under my floor.they came later and had to dig up my front yard and put a new cable in.

Yes, but it would have to be small claims court. Make sure you bring all the paper work you can muster up, especially your child's statement, the fact that the DA couldn't proceed.. and that you did indeed lose 2 weeks for work because of her. And some pay stubs to prove how much you would have made. Mention your feelings, how it embarrassed you at your work/or in front of your boss.(Don't dramatize it though, just mention)!\n\nYOU CAN SUE FOR SLANDER AND DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER.- because you lost work because of her, I think your chances are very good. I wish you luck!

Try calling them first and stating your case. If that doesn't work and you know you are right, get in touch with the comsumer protection agency. They can a big help.

If I were you, contact the Ministry or Department of Labour as soon as possible. They take these actions very seriously and your company can be faced with huge fines (I mean huge fines), workers compensations, and also lawsuits that you can file. \n\nContact the Ministry/Department of Labour immediately and report this to them. Its you rights to know what is happening to you and you deserve every right no matter what.

I was electrocuted at work a while back.  I was passed out when they pulled me down from the wires.  But I never lost my train of thought, I feel that I experienced the whole thing in real time.\n\nWhen the current grabbed me I felt the life quickly drain from my body, it occoured to me that this is how I am to die, and then I was moving at high speed down a river of florescent light, inside a canyon with tall dark walls.  My body kept feeling like when you go over the falls on a roller coaster.  After a time the walls of the canyons started to have faces, and the faces turned into my fellow workers staring down at me in horror, thinking I was dead.   But I was pretty much OK except for some deep burns.\n\nCould have been just the dieing process.  But I feel that it was my choice to live or die during that time.  \n\nI would say my time since then is pure bonus time.  But really our entire lives are bonus time.   I don't understand anything more about death, but I did learn to appreciate each moment of life, each life giving breath.

You probably have a problem with your wiring.  CALL AN ELECTRICIAN TO CHECK EVERYTHING OUT!  I know it sucks financially, what with it being the "chirstmas shopping season" and all, but what if you have a serious problem and it causes a fire...you could lose a LOT more than your things...people could get hurt.  Don't risk it!

look on the back, by your power plug. there should be a little (usually red) switch, and it should say 110 volts (or is it 115? i'm sorry, i can't read the thing on my computer because it is partially covered. oh well, it's 1-1-something!) anyhow, sometimes this switch gets flipped to 200-something (220/240?) this voltage can cause odd behaviour and also damage your computer (be careful, data loss is possible!!!) if it is switched to the wrong voltage. the 110 is for US use (i am assuming youa re in the US) so make sure it's set to that. good luck! =D

Iam a massage therapist, the other therapist that wrote you gave you some good advice. It really wouldnt hurt. Its also hard to tell without some more history. You may not feel angry or tense you may have had a trama long ago that is held in cell memory. (you'd be surprised) so if you get a massage let them know any kind of trama you may have had, accidents, sexual tramas, deaths, or just your everyday normal activities that you are doing at work or play that can be causing issues.

Yes you should go to the ER.  You have definitely had too much of it.  Send the bill to your employer, it should be covered by comp.  Then talk to a lawyer.

Worked in a factory that made the switches that turn streetlights on at night,  I soldered 500 identical wires to 500 identical circuit chips (called a dual-voltage precision heater) every day.\n\nIt was just as bad as it sounds.

Could you have blown the fuse in your plug?  Replace the fuses in both the computer and monitor plugs.  It is possible to buy a plug that prevents power surges reaching your computer.  \n\nYou may be concentrating too much on the coincidence that the warranty ran out at the same time as the problem started.  \n\nYou may have caught a virus and need to use your anti-virus recovery disc. \n\nYou may need to use your Windows recovery disc. \n\nAs everyone has mentioned already we need more info.

Well, it didn't happened to me, but i think is something a little bit scaring, but if you were really tired and if you worked a lot those days...I think is normal.You should ask a doctor about this, to don't worry much.
