When hurt at work, who else is looking out for YOU? Your employer? The employer's insurance company? Are you serious? NO WAY! Even when outside of Greater Philadelphia in PA, I was referred to Galfand Berger LLP and Mike McGurrin for help for my injury at work as sustained 3 months before I called. At first my employer and insurance appeared cooperative as my injury was treated by excellent doctors and I had returned to work. Excellent medical care after getting hurt at work is anything but a guarantee I have learned from others though. The insurance company even tried to trick me into going out of state, and ask Mike and read his book on why that might not be a good option for you! I was able to keep my job all the same, but do not be fooled because your employer wants you out even though by law the employer cannot fire you simply in retaliation for having gotten hurt at work or having filed an insurance claim against their insurance policies. Keep written records of everything said and done as you get medical help and before you return to work, and do NOT sign anything your employer or insurance company gives you without contacting Mike FIRST! I did not of course sign anything of the sort even before contacting Mike. If your employer or the insurance company insists you sign or threatens you if you don't sign or otherwise, CALL MIKE ASAP! I wish I called Mike also before I returned to work anyway! The employer was even hoping I would leave before my first day of benefits, which they waited until 3PM on the last day to give me the information for review over a weekend! Get some help sooner, and if necessary after trying to work things out at work professionally with any common unprofessional manager, also have your attorney call their bluffs via HR should any given manager give you a harder time than others at work only because you were hurt. After I got Mike's advice on my case, I was able to make plans including having an antagonistic manager via HR back off from his all-to-common nonsense and harassment when not having any attendance or work performance issues. After you get hurt at work you'll still be out a bit of funds in medical supplies, medicine, and lost time to see the doctor even in the best case because your employer's insurance company is too cheap to even give a prescription for Rx-size dosage common pain killers like those in smaller dosages at any drug store. Though workers' compensation settlements sure can take awhile and every case will be different, Mike helped to settle my case favourably after only 6 months after I retained him! A good settlement like I received makes up at least for all those funds and time you were out after getting medical treatment and working to put yourself back together to go back to work. Your work injury happens and you can't rewind the clock or erase the pains past and present, and no doubt if I could go back in time and erase the accident I would even now, so get help sooner to make sure YOU get what should be coming to you under state and also possibly federal law with Mike McGurrin's help!
