[QUOTE="k946, post: 1048238, member: 44129"] Thanks Johney, unless you have truely been thru it, you have no idea what its like. Also after reading several other posts about injured employees on this site I would like to clear something up. I have read many times that people think because you get injured and cannot return to your job, that you get disability checks. FYI medicare only pays when you have a 50% or more total body impairment (damn near impossible) unless in a wheel chair or blind. Not even sure loss of limb counts. In my state, if I cannot return to my job but can prove thru the court that I have received some sort of permanent impairment, you can get up 500 weeks maximum pay. After 500 weeks, you are on your own. If you settle, you are then responsible for your own future medical bills resulting from your injury after settlement. Your forced to resign, have no ins. no job, just the puzzling question as to where you go from here. It is really tough trying to explain all this without giving to much detail because of going thru court but when this resolved I will explain in detail what all has taken place for the members on here to read and they can judge for themselves. Its really not hard to figure out, its not whether you will win or not, YOU WON'T! Its fighting every step of the way trying not to get screwed to death by your company. I am also quite sure that UPS is not the only one to take this approach. But, for the people who write how expensive it is. They could cut their costs by using common sense as well. [/QUOTE]
