QUESTIONS OF THE DAY! See the poll then ponder, Is it ok for them to shrug and say, “Dunno. Not my area of expertise.’
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
We’ll seek out some expert opinions and report back in early 2019.
Hey, I promised a few people I would start an Injured Worker video channel…. looks like I already did… on February 22, 2015 – that was a very rough year.
Anyhow, I’ve recently taken an online challenge 10-Day YouTube Makeover Challenge and I will see what I can do about applying some of those strategies and principles here in the new year.
The next VIDEO CHALLENGE with Lou Bortone starts on January 7, 2019….. about how to produce great video content easily and quickly….. you might check it out, too.
[If you are on a ‘WorkComp Rest and Wait and Wait while they hope you die.’ program …this could be THE SKILL OF THE YEAR to master, right next to other Virtual Combat Skills and the imperative skill to #DodgeTheRads and imho!

See you over on LinkedIn, too… there are some wild discussions that happen there….
Happy New Year! Continue to #DodgeTheRads, because #WeAreTheMediaNow …

SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH WORKERS COMP AND SOCIAL SECURITY, ISN’T IT?
“…Culpable negligence means recklessly acting without reasonable caution and putting another person at risk of injury or death (or failing to do something with the same consequences)…” [1]
“….It is clear that workplace injuries have significant crossover effects on Social Security Disability Insurance, Medicare, and other programs. While further study will be needed to expose the specific effects of changes in workers’ compensation laws, evidence suggests that the costs of workplace injuries are being shifted not only to injured workers and their families, but also to federal programs….”
Oct 5, 2016 – A new Department of Labor report says cuts to state workers’ comp systems have … U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez on Capitol Hill in April.
AIG is not alone, nor are the actions unusual. Watch the video and see how they apparently arrived at admission.
Right of AIG to admit mishandling…..that is the way to resolution….contrary to industry propaganda that suggests the GladGame by such injured workers should suffice to keep everybody quiet and the profits and year end bonuses flowing to industry workers at all levels. Can you believe some of those industry bloggers? D’oh! UB!
A Church-friend sent the above link with a note about this typical carrier conduct and abuse of catastrophically injured Workers in California and beyond:
“It looked like he [Keith More] started to get the ball rolling for that poor guy [Ramon Contreras] . Gives some hope that there is someone out there that cares”
How many #injuredworkers in California can’t find legal representation to fight such atrocities? ? #CulpableNegligence?
BRAVO also to Randy Mac and Philip Drechsler NBC News
If you know an attorney willing to help such injured workers who have been poorly represented by prior counsel & who are now unrepresented —please contact me
We will put you in touch directly with the workers unable to find legal representation.
If I could wave a magic wand & change anything about #WorkersCompensation I would ensure immediate reasonable & appropriate medical care & benefits & incite mediation with intention to settle and abolish litigation and the litigators.
[That’s just the TIP OF THE ICEBERG! ASK ANY PROFESSIONAL WHO LEFT OR IS LEAVING THE INDUSTRY…ASK ANY INJURED WORKER ABOUT THE …OBSTACLES TO JUSTICE AND CIVIL RIGHTS AND HUMAN RIGHTS….]
DO ATTORNEYS FULFILL THEIR ETHICAL AND MORAL OBLIGATIONS TO INJURED WORKERS IN AMERICA? NO……THE MAJORITY DO NOT.
ASK ANY INJURED WORKER FAILED BY THE SYSTEM WHERE THE CULPABLE NEGLIGENCE SEEMS TO LIE. JUST ASK ANY INJURED WORKERS.
Culpable negligence means recklessly acting without reasonable caution and putting another person at risk of injury or death (or failing to do something with the same consequences).
It is the omission to do something which a reasonable, prudent and honest man would do, or the doing something which such a man would not do under all the circumstances surrounding each particular case. [State v. Emery, 78 Mo. 77, 80 (Mo. 1883)]
“The term culpable negligence should be construed to mean a negligence of a higher degree than that which in civil cases is held to be gross negligence, and must be a negligence of a degree so gross as to be tantamount to a wanton disregard of, or utter indifference to, the safety of human life.” [Smith v. State, 197 Miss. 802 (Miss. 1945)]
WORKERS COMPENSATION INDUSTRIES MERELY MAKE EXTREME PROFITS FOR THE INDUSTRY WHILE MAIMING, IMPOVERISHING AND KILLING INJURED WORKERS — IT’S NOT VERY NICE.
Let’s Add these Videos, Vlogs and Blogs to the American National Discusssion on Workers Compensation. Let’s join forces with our allies in Canada, UK and Australia.
