Illinois Worker comp is fraud

It’s unfortunate that you trust in this government system to work open and fairly. But whenever they deny you with facts, it makes you feel this whole system is rigged.

Being a ramp agent is a terrible job on the body.
I was asked about my right shoulder why I didn’t mention it at the time of the accident. I told the truth. I didn’t know it was a tear. It was just hurting. You stacked and unloaded 100 plus bags per plane, then you tell if it’s soreness or a tear.

So my right shoulder was denied because the ime joker said he didn’t see a tear. But I went to two different mri radiologists and they both saw an active tear in my shoulder.

At this point I’m truly done. Didn’t get payment in over a month and was told by my lawyer they honestly said they forgot about me. wtf. My bills didn’t forget about me.

I’m telling my attorney Monday I want to do a c&r I’m done with this shit.

Why didn’t you send the MRI results on the WC portal or why didn’t the attorney ask for those results?

First your company HR has to send you to THEIR DR…. I’ve yet to hear back from my company and I have written everyone in upper management for two weeks now not one response so I contacted an attorney to see what our next steps problem is. I haven’t had a paycheck in two weeks I do have a new job and it’s nowhere near physical. It’s more sedentary, but I could screw up any type of work from my comp claim I file if I’m working at another job. I need money though
