What is happening to this man is illegal. The insurance company provides "Workers Compensation Insurance". It is government regulated and controlled. The government removes the legal and medical and legal rights from an injured worker leaving the insurance company completely in control of any wage loss benefits or medical care for injuries. This was known in Canada as the "Historic Compromise" and in the U.S. as the "Exclusive Remedy" It was meant to protect Corporations from bankrupticies and to ensure the working men and women of North America would receive wage loss and medical care for injuries, in exchange the working man gave up the right to sue. Successive legislation removed more rights and we are in an unfair position where if we are disabled from our employment legitimately and in need of help to get well and back to work we are denied. Even though the insurance companies know we are disabled form our employment. They force appeals on us that cause our poverty and our deaths from suicide and more. Remember folks this is anyone. You or your neighbour if you get hurt at work. Tens of thousands all over North America right now suffering in pain and afraid and neglected.
The biggest cause is they are robbed of the promised wage loss and medical care compensation promised by governments. This is a fraud to leave this man like this or any of the other disabled injured workers.
