I would suggest another legal opinion. Also a double spinal fusion may see you in the serious injured category, again get another legal opinion.

as for losing your job Part 8 section 241 of the workers comp act affords you protection from being dismissed.

again another legal opinion would benefit you.

I cant suggest which legal firm to go to but what I can say is seek a firm that does nothing else but injuries. these types of legal firms would be they way I would go.

Again, the insurers have the power to play puppet master with someone’s life (to their financial benefit).

There is meant to be one legislation to cover all – to be read one way – but as this new legislation and the outcome of the Goudappel appeal is being interpreted differently by different insurers, cases are now being processed in very different ways…which is simply not on.
