I wouldnt argue the paper pushing point with you. But having been denied WC by the US Dept of Labor, it is wrong how rigged that system is. Your Medical case is decided by lawyers and your claims reps are just regular clerks, no medical knowledge. Lawyers. Lawyers. Lawyers. And they are the prosecutor, the judge and the jury. You have no recourse outside of the Labor dept. SSDI approved my disability and so did the Postal Service. But the Labor Dept Denied I even had anything wrong with me. I even had to pay back the money they paid out for dr bills!
I agree with that. The entire Workers Comp program is a mess. Unfortunately much of that is due to the innordinate amount of scammers we produce in this country.
Everyone is ‘entitled’
I am not speaking about this individual case or yours either. Knowing more than a couple attorneys involved in the Workers Comp program it is amazing how many in the system are partial or outright frauds.
