You have a tragic story, sorry to hear. Ironic as some employers would either have someone take the injured to the hospital or call a cab unless it was serious enough to call the paramedics. Given your description, sounds like you should have been transported by an ambulance. I had lectured a few companies not to allow injured employees to drive themselves to the clinic or hospital as some would want to do this thinking they were capable. I reminded them of the possibilities the injured was more seriously hurt than realized and whatever injury they had maybe impeding their ability to drive…then a 3rd party liability lawsuit the employer would face if their worker caused an accident.
No stranger to those who tried to rip off the system as well as the system trying to rip off an injured worker. There have been some skanky ploys with the latter as the objective of an insurance company is to receive the insurance premiums and pay out as little as possible in claims. Lol, no kidding Sherlock. I’m helping a friend’s son with a claim he had three years ago already when he was seriously rear-ended in his company truck = WC case. His neck and back are really screwed up with the company’s WC insurer saying he reached a healing threshold leading to paying medical bills through his health insurer with co-pays…aha…well total BS!
