[QUOTE="Harley Rider, post: 4158753, member: 10872"] Sorry for your pain man. This is a tough job on anyone. Liberty Mutual will do anything to get away from doing the right thing or being out any money. Stall... stall...stall ...and stall some more hoping you will run out of money and either quit or go back to work. I have had 5 surgeries between both knees and an ankle since 2015. Workmans comp has paid for it all but not without going to war with them. They will even change up your w/c rep without letting you know a thing. Had this done more times than I can count. Will not respond to phone calls or emails hoping you will just give up. Have sat at home for months waiting for them to make a decision and to either send me to a specialist or finally authorize the surgery. They want you to go to p/t first even though my therapist and my specialist are telling them I need surgery. I worked about 2 weeks in Jan. last year. Had surgery on an ankle and knee in June. Yes... stalled 6 months to approve my surgery. Reinjured knee during p/t and had to have another surgery in Oct. I was off all of 2018 except the first couple of weeks. Finally filed for retirement in December after 34 years of driving after seeing my legs were just done. I now have a comp lawyer and am in negotiations for a final settlement after they failed to pay for a final disability rating on my knee. Hope that things work out better for you. Just be ready for a struggle. [/QUOTE]
