[Mr. Knowitall]

Workers compensation doesn't have to settle, just as you don't have to accept a settlement offer.

I am soo sorry to hear about this, this is awful, You have been through way too much.

I think your attorney may have to threaten to file a civil action. enough...

And from what you have disclosed you would deserve big bucks & should never have to worry about at least money ever again.

Those BAs*ards!!!!!! they knew they created an unsafe area & let someone get hurt before they bothered to do anything!!!!!! You may even be entitled to punitive damages ,,,depends.... on laws on that state & WC

I think a jury would give you huge sympathy!!
I really hope you heal as best you can.

Still not a lawyer
