Thanks Dan,but now I have a dilema...,
The claims adjuster called me today and told me that they are willing to cut me a check for $5,000 to buy out my claim because the doctor that I will see tomorrow is probably a quack like my first doctor and with the money I will be able to see my own doctor or a chiropractor (which is what I think I really need anyway) but the catch is , is that I will have to sign a resignation paper from my agency and go work for someone else but, I feel that if or when the doctor releases me to work again , that out of fear my agency will black ball me and will tell me that they have no work for me.
Man I`m confused.:ummm::confused2::ummm:

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!

$5000.00 does not go very far with a back issue that can last forever.....

Insurance companies and employers would LOVE people to sign their rights away.....and they will do ANYTHING to get you off their books....

Look up the Americans with Disabilities Act.....some of that may apply.....

Just my opinion.....but DON'T SIGN AWAY ANYTHING.......OR RELEASE THEM FROM ANY OF THEIR OBLIGATIONS TO YOU.......

If you feel you need different treatment options or are being treated unfairly you have avenues for that.......

Educate yourself on your options......DON'T sign anything......Especially without consulting a lawyer......

+1 dont sign yet, money up front sounds good but you could need more for therapy or missed work later. they want to get out of whats owed to you so dont settle just yet.

 

[Rollie]

Get a lawyer , and get one now. Back injuries may never go away completely. As long as you are under the care of a dr. and he writes down that you are unable to perform your work duties, the ins. co. has to keep paying you weekly, and paying your medical bills. It is in their interest to get you to one of their doctors. They get so much business from the ins. company , they are well known in the lawyer circles as leaning toward the ins. co. and attempt to get you back to work a.s.a.p., sometimes before you can actually do the work. Until an orthopedic dr. writes down a permanent partial disability % to your back or whole body, and you and your lawyer agree, do not sign anything fron the ins. co. W.C. sucks as most states don't allow you to sue and get the case in front of a jury of your peers ( where the big $ lives ). Most w.c. cases are tried in front of a judge who may or may not beleive your case. Most everything is settled on what your orthopod writes down , ( not tells you personally ). Appeals are difficult if you don't get a good settlement, and you don't want to represent yourself as you have no idea what your claim is worth. Get a personal injury attorney , preferably one who has tried w.c. cases and has a good record of winning. You can go to the state bar association for referrals. .04 cents worth from one who has been in the business.

[kevman]

Did some maintenance and went to fill up the fournales rear shocks and a geyser of blue oil shot out so I've come to the conclusion that they are f#$%^& and so I put the originals back on and went for a ride.Seemed to handle ok but I think I will get a pair of progressives or hagon shocks if I can find them at a good price.Ikon want $717 for their shocks which I think is pretty outrageous .Time to hit ebay.Cheers Kevman

Dave, These guys are right on the money! Don't settle, $5K won't be anything down the road.
Also get 2nd, 3rd & 4th opinions before deciding on back surgery, and then only as a very last resort!
