I have been following some of this in the news for months about the guards at Menard getting worker’s comp at extremely high levels. I think there was an investigation being made into whether many of the claims were fraudulent, but have not seen anything as to how that turned out. As they are contemplating closing some IL prison facilities, it is likely more claims will be coming in from those who feel threatened of being laid off in the process, so they can get on the disability train before it is too late.
What is non-repetitive walking?
“Repetitive walking INJURIES” is doubtless how it officially reads. And it might happen, never say never, but of all the things I’ve heard people who walk constantly (like waiters) complain about, this is hardly at the top of the list. Walking is generally considered to be good for a body, if not carried to stupid extremes like death marches.
In California getting up and going to work can be a cause for a workers comp claim.
My lungs are destroyed from repetitive breathing stress and my heart is broken down from decades of repetitive use without a moments rest.
I need to file a claim...
I suspect IL, CA, and NY (the three states with the biggest budget deficits) will get federally guaranteed state bonds.
Not that the federal guarantee means much, but it will buy them a few more years.
what's next... mailmen???They think they have it bad? My job forces me to do “repetitive sitting”, for hours at a time, sometimes all day! They’ve been doing this to me for years, and I may have permanently damaged my ability to sit, not just at home, but also in my personal life!
