3 % of comp claims are actually fraudulent . Insurance Co's want everyone to think the statistics are higher so thier greedy asses get away with treating us all like crap .

[color=#008000]this is very sad and I agree, why would people intentionally get themselves wrapped up in w/c. It's f'nnnn bs if you ask me. You have the potential of not being believed by anyone, ridiculed by either coworkers and employers, people watching your every move and constantly going to the damn Dr.'s and not of your choice. It is a system set up to frustrate people and it never helps your pain that you are going through. I have often thought that myself, that if I was not able to do this or that on behalf of meeting employers expectations, i would lose my job. There have been days where I had been in extreme pain and felt like not going to my PT appts or to see the Dr. in general. Worried and stressed more about the damn employer than my own health. It is sad that we do this to ourselves and put ourselves through agony when this is a tough enough system to have any faith in. The Dr.'s will always see you and they get paid no matter what. They don't even have to give you anything for the pain, just as long as you follow protocol and make it to your scheduled appointments, the i/c and w/c Dr.'s and employer all win. I hate having a w/c injury and I absolutley hate that I cannot do the things I once did that made me and my family happy. You are expected to be sometype of "robot" and keep pushing yourself til there is nothing left for yourself and then what good are you????? Then from all the postings I read, once you've become permanently disabled, they don't want to pay you for all the hell and damage that has been done mentally and physically. W/c fraud is just not worth it to me. I would've rather handled my injuries on my own and just used my own health insurance to pay for everything rather than go through all this traumatizing crap.
I pray that the injured woman and her family gets 100% from w/c because it totally seems like a w/c situation to me.

:(You hit the nail rt on head! I know it's only been two years for me but your 100% correct. Your life totally revolves around W/C and should u have a personal problem that requires u to miss a couple of Dr's appts they write you a long letter warning u that u could be kicked off W/C if you don't comply. It's hoop, after hoop, after hoop, after hoop, etc. All I want to do is go back to work and get a life again. I also pray that the injured woman and her family get what they deserve.
