What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
In late Feb. I was hurt at work. I am a server at a restaurant. A big, metal ice machine lid was broke and fell on my foot. I went to ER and Dr. there said it could POSSIBLY have a small fracture. Turns out, I guess it didnt.BUT it was still hurt..badly. My employer sent me to an orthapedic surgeon who lookeed at my foot for 5 minutes and said I was ok. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY FOOT!!!! He said I could go back to work. Since Feb. I have received $28.00 from WC. I have lost my home, electric shut off, etc., Ive had to move 5 hours away, just to have a place to live. I have tried n tried to talk to my employers and WC, but I swear they r so rude.I told them I need an MRI done and the guy from ins company told me..."TOO BAD". they were not doing anything else for me. Am I crazy?? Is this a normal practice?? What can I do??? Anything? please help!!
