Husbands WC claim
In spring of 2023 my husband fell 25ft through a roof after his safety harness broke & landed head first onto concrete. He was med flighted to a hospital that is about an hour drive from our hometown. He broke 10 plus bones including his wrists that he had multiple surgeries on & hardware put in, clavicle, occipital bone, ribs, etc. He also lost 90 percent of his hearing in one ear & now has hearing aids. But the worst is the brain injury. He went to rehab for his brain injury for about 3 months. When he came home (still confused) he was adamant to return to work against my advice. He was going nuts at home & was very stressed about finances. After he returned his employer found out we had retained counsel & accused him of ambulance chasing & instead of him being a construction superintendent like he was prior to the fall, he was a clean up guy. No one would speak to him really & it was terrible for him & terrible for me to watch. He was completely broken. After months of that torturous BS he found a new job with a different company. Our first court date this past fall was delayed due to WC lawyer not being ready. Our next court date is coming up pretty soon & the WC lawyer asked our lawyer if we would entertain an offer of $100k… my husband would accept it but I would not. This has been terrible for us & brain injuries are life long. I do not feel like this offer is fair & WC laws are so confusing! Any advice is appreciated
