Got hurt at work now everything is bad

posted on Mar 30, 2007 (modified on Mar 30, 2007)

I have lost everything three times in my life now.  I do not think I can handle it again.  I was young and stupid the first time.  The second time I was being abused and just left everything and built my life up again.  The third time I was messed over a bit by my most recent ex boyfriend.  This time I worked really hard to get my own apartment and the first new car I have ever owned.  I had a good job untill last Tuesday.  I also am a full time student.  I got hurt at work due to a safety violation by the company.  Now my wrist has three different tendon problems, and I have to wear a brace.  I got fired essentially because I got hurt at work.  Now I am facing losing everything.  My rent is due on the 5th and I have $36 in the bank.  Rent is $475.  I would have been able to cover it, except I was off work due to bronchitis for 8 days last month.  I was off work for 6 days because of my wrist this month.  Work fired me for attendence related issues because of the 6 days off for my wrist.  I am planning on giving up my apartment after this month if my old job denies me worker's comp benefits which they are trying to do right now.  I also applied for unemployment benefits but that takes time as well.  I have found a temporary home for my cats and a friend is going to help as much as he can with my car payments and insurance.  I just need help with rent untill I can get my things moved out and break my lease with at least a little notice.  As soon as my wrist gets better I will have no trouble finding a job and repaying all who have helped me.  Hopefully there is someone out there who will be able to help me.  I should have plenty of good karma built up from last fall when I was able to help others. 

Thank you,

Kat

I have already contacted a lawyer. It just takes time to get things settled. My mother also had a worker's comp problem she opted just to quit and retire. I wish I could do that, but unfortunately right now they have me between a rock and a hard place. They told me as they were firing me that when my wrist was better I could come back and work for them through a temp agency. And that they had had absolutely no problems with my work. Talk about adding insult to injury lol.

My mother had the same problem with being hurt on the job. She saw a lawyer and sued the company. They also had to pay her medical bills until her doctor released her as fit for employment. She got a settlement from them as well. I think you have a great case. Before you see an attorney ask them for a separation notice stating why they fired you. Also, make sure you get papers from the doctors you saw for your injuries. GOOD LUCK!
