I was injured three days before I recieved medical treatment, I drove to my appointment my employer said they will pay my milage on my next paycheck work comp doc asked questions pertaining to my life history including childbirths and where I was born and raised about my family then said it was a pre existing condition I was terminated 10 minutes later they said I withheld info. The facility doc cleared me for the job and I had a doctors release from my previous doctor which was given upon hire. I felt as if I was on trial at the doctors office which they had there mind made up before I even got to the appointment.

What information were you accused of withholding?

[screwed]

previous injury info but I gave them all the info and the facility doc said I could do the job

If you did in fact give them all of the information, and they terminated you to avoid providing your worker's compensation benefits, I suggest you consult a workers' compensation lawyer in your state.

Workman's Comp case law is definitely for and to the benefit of self-insured entities and third party insurance carriers. "Pre-existing condition" is nothing more than a catch-phrase designed to provide an escape for those financially liable to injured workers. Whether in Michigan or any other state, speaking as an injured worker who was tagged with the aforementioned "pre-existing condition" label, never forget that most laws are written de facto by big business FOR big business. Injured workers such as us count for very little, if anything at all, in the equation. Supreme Courts, Appellate Courts and Magistrates are appointed (at least here in Michigan). Once we are able to grasp that fact, we'll understand that our best interests are NOT first and foremost in the decisions that are made that very directly and severly impact our lives. Appointees are smart enough to know which side their bread is buttered on.
