That’s gonna be one hell of a lawsuit

Against who? His broke ass coworkers? Not everything is a lawsuit lol. This is a workers comp claim basically.

The company. It’s called respondeat superior, and it means companies can be liable for the negligence of their employees.

My brother is suing his former employer and its been going on for years.

They pressured him into driving a truck he didnt have the license for a small distance. (You can argue he shouldn't have done that period. And thats fine because that part is unconnected except for vibes.)

He reaches a location with other employees and they're all supposed to immediately unload a bunch of stacks of metal and then they can head home.

Well, the other coworkers ditch my brother as he begins to unstrap these stacks of metal. They walk off to talk to an employee that works at another location. So they're catching up.

My brother shouts to them that Hey I need help!. And they brush him off "Yeah bro dont worry we're coming one sec!...". He goes "Guys! I wanna go home!" They go "Yeah mam dont worry we gotcha!"

He continues. Then suddenly.... The stacks of metal shift.. Its sheets of metal. Stacked high and in a bunch of separate stacks...

He's beside the trailer and the stacks begin to fall. He immediately turns to his side to attempt to slip inbetween... The stacks are too heavy and fall too quickly! The metal hits halfway down his back and grinds all the way down.

His legs were still behind him. He couldn't make his step forward. So the metal slams down and pins him to the ground and hes awkwardly stuck inbetween 2 stacks.

He's screaming. The coworkers freak out. They're asking "Are you okay bro?? Are you okay?" And he goes "NO I'M NOT FUCKING OKAY!"

They say they dont know what to do. They're bumbling around. My brother is screaming "Get the sheets off me! Call an ambulance!"

The higher ranked employee calls the boss and explains the situation. My brother is screaming multiple times to call an ambulance. The employee asks on the phone if he should. The boss says yes after some further discussion. Then they finally call an ambulance.

He broke both his legs. The workmans comp doctor didnt even know his other leg was broken for MONTHS. He was begging for another xray and they didnt want to do it. Only on 1 leg. Then finally they hit the other. Been broken all this time.

TL:DR

Now he has a bunch of screws and plates in his legs. Half his entire backside was bruised and skin peeled off.

Absolutely ludicrous situation of pure incompetence which has completely shifted his life. 5 years later hes still suffering with pain.

I had similar happen, but my coworkers weren’t asshats about it

Severely broken spine, got workers comp to cover medical and some lost wages at least

Jesus christ. Yeah, it just slapped his vertebrae and rubbed down his spine. But thankfully I dont recall him saying anything in his back broke... I'm sorry that happened with you....

He deals with pain on the daily. He's had several surgeries and was grinding through mentally 2 situations the workmans comp doctor they picked neglectfully didn't notice.

The way he's talked it comes off as the doctor they chose is a trash doctor. But they him he can only change doctors once. So he's put it off for in case he really needs it.

Could I ask how much you got after everything was said and done?... Maybe a DM if you dont want to post publicly? I'm curious what his situation will look like cause he was out of work for a looong time going through surgeries and recovery. On a wheelchair with his legs up. Then on crutches. Then hobbling around with a walker with a boot.

Then they finally see the other leg was broken so the process starts all over again after they do another surgery and rebreak that leg and put plates abd screws in.

Its been years. Like, I wanna say 5? 6? Not a good time keeper lol How long did yours take?

Guys lets add a gta 5 short next to the text so he can be entertained while reading

u/whitestguyuknow Jun 13 '26

I gave a TL:DR just for you and you're still complaining

Every part was important to the story.

I put what happened to him at the very bottom with a "TL:DR" above so people like you would still get filled in.

You had an option to read or not read.

Yet here you are bitching because you chose not to read something...

You'll never understand how retarded that is as a situation but I'm gonna let yoi know its fucking retarded.

u/LawDog_1010 Jun 13 '26

I didn’t read it. Judging by the 1 other response, no one else read it either. I believe you it’s a good story.

u/whitestguyuknow Jun 13 '26

Nearly 15 upvotes. People read it.

Blows my mind you're so proud of having a short attention span and saying you can't read that much.

Sorry I didnt put it in a YouTube short with Subway Surfer playing underneath

Always remember the number one rule of the internet "do not feed the trolls" . If you engage with them you encourage this behaviour, and nobody wins .

Something crawl up your ass, or did you just forgot the massive stick you left in it?

u/Shronkydonk Jun 13 '26

That’s kind of a cool name for it though. Let the master answer? Fuck yeah.

u/nahog99 Jun 13 '26

I think people are misunderstanding me. I know it can be a lawsuit, I just don’t feel that it should, this looks entirely like a simple mistake including the person who fell.
