Personal Injury At Work

Accident at Work? Where to go from Here?

admin — Fri, 14 May 2010 21:51:54 +0000

Having a work situation here and not quite sure where to go with it from this point.

If, after sustaining injuries whilst doing your job at work, you have been off work for almost 18 months but still undergoing treatment (ie.surgery, physiotherapy,counseling etc), is it legally fair/right for your employer to ask you to apply for another position in your workplace/department? This would involve going back onto a 3 month probation period and no guarantee that they would keep you on after this period. You have also worked for this company for 9 years. Are they within their rights to do this/ask you to do this?

There is nothing to say that after all the treatment etc, you wouldn’t be able to do the job you are already employed to do. But if they have been paying you for these 18 months and they feel it is "going on for too long". can they ask this? Where would you stand in this situation?

Before you all ask, no-one can be blamed for the accident or be found to blame. It was just a freak accident that happened – no faulty equipment, inadequate training etc.

If they can do this, where would you go from here?
Ash – thank you for answering sensibly!! What if they are not *willing* to find you a job that you can do? Just that you have to wait for vacancies to come up and apply if you *think* you could do it? And sign a new contract?
This is the UK so not sure whats going on!!

Health insurance allows the people to accomplish their dreams that cannot be achieved through another means. Parents can have health insurance of their new born babies. Some fixed amount of money is submitted to insure the precious lives and health of the children.

As children are more sensitive so thus more susceptible to the severe diseases from which parents have to spend a lot of money after disturbing their budget. Health insurance protects the parents from these issues. This health insurance of the children provides financial support during the severe diseases of their love ones. After this insurance when parents attend the phone and listen the news that their child got injured then they do not worry about the treatment because such companies help them a lot and take all the responsibilities of their child. Health insurance is facilitating the parents with vaccines and other injections to protect the health of the children. After having the health insurance people are more conscious about the health and safety of children as compare to those who do not have this facility. In the critical situation this health policy is like the helping hand or supporters. When nobody come to help the people then this health insurance companies come and save the lives of its companies.

How come no supporters have come forward to help this family?

GALVESTON, Texas—by Doug Miller/KHOU TV 11 News & khou.com – An illegal immigrant who was paralyzed in an accident says officials at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston are pressuring him to go back to Mexico.

Francisco Martinez is a Mexican immigrant laborer who is in the United States illegally and now needs constant, expensive medical care.

KHOU 11 News spoke with Martinez Tuesday outside UTMB’s John Sealy Hospital. He was accompanied by his 7-month-old son and his common-law wife, Brandi Cullen Valderram.

Martinez has been at UTMB ever since a workplace accident three months ago left him paralyzed from the chest down.

“There was no insurance. And since we’ve been here they’ve been telling us that there’s no other option except for him to go to Mexico. They’ve been trying to push, push, push, push, push,” said Cullen Valderram.

She said the hospital even offered a free flight to Mexico. But, speaking through an interpreter, Martinez said he doesn’t want to go.

“What I want to do is only walk,” he said.

UTMB wouldn’t comment on camera, but in a written statement a spokesman said:

”Under state and federal laws we are obligated to provide emergency treatment without regard to citizenship, legal status or ability to pay.”

But UTMB is in a financial bind, because the law doesn’t reimburse the hospital for what it’s spending to treat Martinez.

People who work with indigent immigrants say they see cases like this all the time.

“Every day. Every day. Every day. It’s not the first case we’ve dealt with here at UTMB,” said Joe Compian, with Gulf Coast Interfaith. “It’s at other hospitals in the area as well, of individuals facing similar situations.”

Martinez’s wife said he was paid about 0 a week.

“The Americans that hired him didn’t have a problem. Now for them to want to throw him back because he doesn’t have the money to pay for it, I think that’s irresponsible on America’s part,” she said.

Martinez’s wife and son are now living in a shelter. He is living in a hospital. Where they’re going next is anybody’s guess.
