So when do you decide that fighting isn't worth it? I mean how far do you go to get what is rightfully yours?
Stan spoke with the workman comp government office today and it looks like we have 3 more possible steps. The biggest issue is that we don't have a witness of Stan's injury at work. The only witness there is, is his boss and he's denying that the whole event took place. Even though he filed the claim with his insurance office.
The lady Stanley spoke with was nice at least. She stated that she sees small businesses do this alot to their employees because they don't want their premiums to go up. However, since the claim was filed their premium will go up anyhow. So they are fighting a losing battle. I guess I can see how karma is kicking in there a little bit.
The three steps are review by the government after they get permission to his medical records on the incidient. Then a table top settlement attempt and if that doesn't come out in a solution it can go to court.
Honestly, I don't think we'll go as far as court and I'm not going to spend any money on this. We'll go as far as we can without out causing harm to our family and our pockets.
Part of my stubborness wants me to keep fighting but part of me is tired. Right now it causes us no stress to file some more paperwork. If they judge in our favor, great. If not, I'm not going to fight anymore.
Like Stanley said, I think we just need to concentrate on finding him a job and let everything else go.
Strangely I was comforted to know that Stan's old boss will see an increase in his premium. I don't want it to hurt him financially but I do want him to realize that he shouldn't have fought this. It was a losing battle and that he should just help his employees. I hope it makes a switch click in his brain.
