Yes. Many times, injured persons can go back to work after an injury, but for various reasons they cannot work a full day. You are entitled to request compensation for this amount of time missed from work.

It is possible. You may obtain additional funds from government benefits, such as Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) if your injuries are disabling and prevent you from working. Whether or not you get additional funds from another source depends on the circumstances of the case.

Accidents resulting from collapsing trenches are common. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reports that at least two workers are killed in collapsing trenches every month, accounting for approximately 24 deaths a year.

The report also revealed the number of trench injuries and deaths in the past five years — 23 in 2016, 11 in 2015 and 11 in 2014. Trench collapses happen without warning and can dump an enormous amount of weight on those inside the trench. Not many people realise that just one cubic yard of soil can weigh up to 3,000 pounds.vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

No, that is not correct. Any information someone provides regarding their workers’ compensation claim is highly confidential, and only those who are dealing specifically with their claim will see their personal information.

Contacting the the Office of Injured Employee Counsel (OIEC) may be a good idea to follow up. This individual is a specially trained worker who assists injured workers who have dispute procedures filed against your employer’s insurance carrier. The services offered by this office are free. However, the staff is not large and this may slow your dispute down.
