Take the time to read up on the subject, and you will discover that your employer cannot deny your WC rights, unless you take legal action against them, at which time it becomes an adversarial relationship.
It would be a safe bet that, based on the OP description of the situation, that this is the case.

And, for the intellectually challenged, I see no 'legal advice' being given in this thread.
WOW. YOU JUST GAVE legal advice and said "no legal advice" has been given on this post. That's funny I don't care who you are.

Just telling it like it is
To answer few questions:

1. No, he is not filing suit or filed suit suit against the company at this time

2. He hired the lawyer due to the troubles he was having getting it going

3. Co worker unaware of site here, but knows I posted for him to help get information or likewise others experience.

4..he wants to get back to work, if they had not been fighting this, he be back already, but longer it goes on it may be become an issue of permanent use of that arm.

5. Not looking for legal advice,
Yeah, “your friend” sure. Just like asking for computer trouble advice for “your friend” who’s computer crashed from visiting too many porn sites.

I smell a rat.

Hi folks
I have this really good friend at work who suffers from ED. (no, it isn’t me you silly-dillies, I have NO problems in that department, believe me).He is at his wit’s end and his wife is threatening to leave him soon if he can’t find a solution but quick.
It’s not so much that he minds losing her of course, it’s just that she’s going to take everything he’s got. Everything that’s near and dear to me. :(
And to make matters worse, she’s going to tell all of his friends about his “little problem” -including those of the female persuasion. Oh, the humiliation. I don’t think I could bear it :headache:... er....I mean I couldn’t possibly bear seeing him mentally tormented like that.

She’s a ruthless, heartless beeyotch I’m telling ya (well I mean that’s what he tells me of course) So I was just kinda wondering if perhaps any of you fine folks here possibly have any suggestions that might help m....um, him out???

Please hurry with your replies. My friend (who is unaware of this forum) is counting on you. :sad:

i think Makaveli is correct about FX is fighting the Permanent Stationary disability claim ...Once the doc (probably the doc FX sent him to) gives a permanent stationary status and Sedgwick (FX insurer who makes the payments for the WC claim...) denies the claim they stop paying out for WC..i suggest you have your friend talk to the attorney handling the case to get another doctor( the reason is the new doctor may decide to place him back on TTD or temporary total disabiltiy) to get another opinion because if Sedgwick denies claim & stops paying WC this means Sedgwick is probably saying you can go back to work in a limited capacity..and you have 90 days from the time you receive the P&S status to either find a job (from job postings or if you're lucky your station/ramp will have a job opening you can qualify for ) or you'll be terminated...hopefully this helps...
