[QUOTE="balland chain, post: 1187712, member: 43608"] Jeez, I thought NC was bad. I have been out one year and with the exception of waiting six months for the surgery I needed ( due to LIberty Mutual sitting on their ass) it has not been too bad. I played the game, go to the company doc over and over again. Go thru PT for a month and a half. I kept telling them that I was still in pain even though I could do some of the things they asked.. Finally, Doc sent me to a specialist that ordered a MRI, ( asked case worker why it has taken so long to get this done) and of course it showed the fracture and other damage for the accident. I am now totally frustrated with the who situation. Especially Liberty Mutual dragging their ass, because UPS is no longer covering my insurance and the cobra payment is 1200.00 per month. Had LIberty Mutual done the right thing from the get go, I may have already returned to work. I am still not 100% and may required another surgery. I pray I dont need another ! I just learned that you can file for Social Security Disability, and I did just that last week. My hope is that they will make the first payment retroactive so I would get one year of benefits in the first check ( this happened to a friend, so I hope it happens to me) . My friend did have to get an Attorney to help with his case, and I think they take a percentage. Hang in there, stand your ground !
