California Injured Workers please read!!!
 

I am writing a letter to Governor Schwarzenegger about my Workman's comp. case and submitting it to an Aide that works on labor issues. I am doing this to let the Governor know about all of the difficulties I have had over the last 4 years; in receiving the diagnostics needed to diagnose and determine the extent of my injury as well as receive consistent care. I am also letting him know that my Attorney resigned form my case as he felt it was too much work and that he wouldn't be adequately compensated. I have a deposition coming up and was told by an aid at the Workers comp. office that I need to be represented by an Attorney. I have called 5 Attorney's so far and they have all turned me down for the same reason.

I told the Governor's Aide about the forum and some of the horror stories I've read here and she would like (if anyone is willing to share) to give him that information as well.

If you want, you can put anything you would like to tell the Governor on this thread. Or if you want to maintain your privacy, you can p.m. me, and I will copy and paste your message to send to him.

I will be sending this information to him next Monday, so that will give anyone who wants to participate almost a week to contribute something.

Thanks You Guys,

Thanks Vic !!
 

I wish you could add your story here!!

I am extending the time for those who want to submit their story to Friday the 2nd.

I need more time to get things in order, and am hoping for more people to contribute. It doesn't have to be much, just a paragraph if you want about your negative experiences, or if you want to start a thread here to submit, just to make it easy, we could do that.

Thanks Everyone!

I too have sent 3, yes 3 letters to Arnold, th eins commissioner, the indutrial relations director, my politicians, etc...

I did recieve a phone call back from Sacramento and a politician's aid but nothing was done except that the insurance company fired their attorney and hired a "BIG GUNS" attorney to refute my case due to the insurance commissioner coming down on them.

It's a joke
But, I'm relentless.

By the way there was a guy in my Neurologist's office the other day which 4 years ago a block wall flattened him litterally on a movie set. He has had strokes, seizures daily, $5K in medications monthly, found kidney CA while going through all this W/C crap like me and his wife was addressing letters to the state herself when we were sitting there talking.

It's amazing that the insurance companies are getting richer, CA W/C attorney's are dropping like fly's, and we are recieving no medical care.

B,t,w,...
 

I forgot to say

You go Girl!!! :I-Agree:

You be relentless!!! After all you have been through!!! ?? !!!! :eek: :confused: :eek:

You should be, and I respect you, for being relentless!!!:Bow: :Bow:

I admire and respect you and Hope and all the others :I-Agree: who have kept on:lookaround: and keep on pluggin' away, even after it all !!! :Red eyes:

I can only wonder what Arnold would have done if he had broken his leg on the job, and didn't have his gazillions and had to deal with the system that he has instituted and feels is sufficient. :Scratch-Head: :Ponder: :icon_rolleyes:

Just wanted you to know that I think :You-Rock:

:hug:

ditto...
Dear Arnold and his changes have left us with no medical attention and the insurance companies in the $$
