Did anybody know that if you get injured on your job you can not sue your employer, is this evil or what?

Question

I became injured on my job back in august of 06,I have a permanent scar on my right shoulder, Yet I can only get paid If the scaring is on my face and I can not sue the employer for pain and suffering, I blame this on the Satanic Jihadist Nazis(Conservatives, and Republicans) for this form of aggresion, death to all of them

Answer 1

The only way I can see that statement making sense is if you somehow snook into a Republican campaign office under the guise of being a maintenance worker, screwed up the installation of your covert listening device and falling off your 3 foot ladder and scraping your back against the screwdriver you had firmly planted in your rectal opening while trying to contort yourself into the fetal position to protect your gonads.

The office manager probably believed that you were an idiot and told you that you couldn't sue and being the left wing moron that you were, you believed it.

Don't blame Republican or Conservatives, or anyone for that matter because you have the IQ of day old bread.

Answer 2

I know it will be cold comfort to tell you this, but in the good old days you had to sue your employer to get anything at all, and that was ridiculously expensive for the injured person, so they often got nothing. They started a new system where employers had to buy workers' compensation insurance, but could not be sued. I know you're not happy about how you were treated, but I'm only telling the story. People say anybody can sue anybody for anything but in this case it's prohibited by law.

Answer 3

Actually, yes you can sue your employer if they were in violation of OSCHA when you were injured. If they were not in voilation of OSCHA when you were injured, then you cannot sue them but can collect Workers Compensation. That is why businesses are required to pay a workers compensation tax/fee....to fund the program should an injury occur with OSCHA compliance.

You should blame yourself for not researching the law and stop blaming others.

Answer 4

Did your employer hurt you? Or were you doing the job the wrong way? I'm sorry to hear about your back, but guess what it probably was not your employers fault. Also are you still hurt? Or is it a scar? Because scars don't usually keep people from finding other jobs.

Answer 5

This is not a political question.

And you absolutely CAN sue your employer for scarring and pain and suffering, assuming you can medically prove a continuing problem with pain and suffering. You've been given some bad advice.

Answer 6

In any state that has a State Industrial Claims Bureau you cannot sue your employer.
that today almost all copmpanys or corproations and even private frims with 30 or more employees are what is known as privatly inured they operate under State guidelines.
How is this so?
before turn of Century an English coal miner was harmed by an owner who swung a pick without loking first and hit an employee so severely he could no longr contnue working. As very small firm of three lawyers took up his case and won the firt ever case for an injured employee recieving compensation.In fact the swinger of pick was of royal lineage.
From English to US a trend soon began in which injured workers who could prove negligence against employers began to bring suit, lawyers taking a % of verdict by Jurys, companys became afraid and looked for ways to stem this tide.
How could they defray the cost?
By setting up state sponsored insititution and by making it seem like the government was protecting workers they proceeded to do just that.
Washington state back at the Wobbly Unions time was one of first to figure this out and it came from its logging Industry which was way worse in killing and maimining members than any industry in states. Way worse than coal miners deaths
A man named MC Cleary who was a state senator at that time, now has a city named after him,a man with very strong timber backers such as Sol Simpson of Simpson Timber and the Reed family and George Weyerhauser of Weyerhauser fame got a bill passed for a State industrial program.
Before the act a man could get thousands of dollars from a jury trial but afterwards when a program of all employers paying mere pennys apiece for very hour a man worked all the injured recives was around 500 for even death with some 50 to 70 for a loss of arms or legs and even blindness.
Surpeme court Rulings both state and Federal.
By working within a company and knowing they were covered by State industrial the employee aves all rights to a jury trial and has to accept the fndings of an independent board for its state instittuions. Federal and State challenge agree.
Here is one true telling of just how ridiculous it is.
A man refused to climgb out upon a girder 100 feet from ground as it was very unsafe and was fired.
he brought forth a suit saying he could of been injured if he did so and was wrongfully fired because of State safety laws. Locally he won but was challenged first in state who ruled against him and then in Federal who ruled against him.
Reason of Verdict.
While he could refuse to do an unsafe act the company had the right to fire him for doing so.
If after he was harmed by the act the state had the responsability as his insurance provider to investigate and make a ruling either for the employer or the plaintif and determine the amount of monetary payment of injury if it was applicable.
In other worlds you had to perform the dangerous task even if unsafe because someone would attempt it if you did not and the company even knowing it was unsafe was protected from suits by an individual.
Another case of propaganda making people believe they have it better in hands of state than employer and jurys while in effect protecting the Corps not the people.
the bureaucrats and how do they work within such a system. Well in Washington state the state ordered its employees to cut back on accpeting inury claims and even delaying them and a portional amounts of money saved was broken down and given to State Industrial employees.
Nice system huh!

Answer 7

I agree with you that you should have the possibility to be paid for your injury. But I don't understand why you seem to consider only "Republican" was mongers as Satanic Jihadist Nazis, and not war mongers from the "Democrat" party, such as those who bombed Yugoslavia.

Answer 8

Who told you that? Your employer? You are either full of it or you were fooled. Anyone can sue anybody for anything. Whether or not a judge will buy it is a different story.

Answer 9

So, do you have any FACTUAL-based evidence for blaming the Republicans for your problem? Or do you just do that in a knee-jerk fashion whenever the world doesn't behave as you demand it?

Answer 10

You must work for a law firm.
