You make a very good point. It's criminal that there is so little recourse/help. ADA doesn't apply here as my company is under 15 employees. I called EEOC who was sympathetic, but warned that once I filed, an investigation would start, and if I think my work life is a living Hell now, I can only imagine once my ER got notice of my complaint how much they would turn up the heat.

In instances where they really bear down - pressuring me to do the impossible with deadlines, nit-picking the smallest things (that everyone does) over and over, it causes a relapse and I get headaches, more confusion, and can't think straight. My neuropsych understands, and says this is VERY detrimental to my recovery, however, he said that he "does not get involved in employer situations". Seems no one does.

I have been warned also that legal proceedings can be torturous, laborious, and lengthy, not to mention expensive, and I have no money to fight this. Plus, my ER is very crafty and I have no doubt could talk their way out of things or manufacture things.

My family attorney - who helped navigate the mountain of paperwork with the car insurance claims and subsequent PIP payment said he could said a "warning" letter to my ER, but again, I can just imagine how very hard my work life would be made, when here I have done nothing wrong except get in a car accident and am being treated like a piece of dirt.
