I understand what you are saying. I didn’t want to do this. I only wanted to get treated for my injury and of course the benefits that comes along with it.
I realize that I can not win my WC case because the employer has cut my arms and legs. This was the option I have. I’ve worked ever since I was 18. I actually started around 13 morning neighbors lawn and also the fields. I’ve only taken one vacation in 9 years with that company. I don’t have any history of claims except my car was stolen once.
I have not worked the last two years because I have restrictions and I doubt I’ll get any good references from that employer. The current qme has me ttd until he sees all medical records. I could easily take the $25k offer if it was just about money.
I do have fear and anxiety that if I don’t stand up for myself, I will just face discrimination again with other companies. It’s not a good feeling to know that no matter how hard you work, you will never get the recognition.
