When I worked at Workers Comp for charitable company I got a call from two women that wanted to report injuries from a car accident they were in and have medical bills paid and paid for missed work.
I got all the details from them about the accident. The women were being driven to a site to be Bell Ringers for the holiday. They only worked a few days then just stopped showing up. The were only scheduled to work Dec 1st to Christmas, they only worked the 1st and 2nd.
The car accident they claimed to be in happened 4 years prior. They wanted WC payment from then till now.
Procedure on all claims is to call the local office and get their "side" of all claims.
The Manager there said she remembers the car accident. The details: Van was parked on side of road, no one was in it, it was hit from behind lightly from a car parking from behind.
She also remember that the two women had been driven to their site in a totally different van.
I called back and told the women that the claim was denied.
The threatened to sue and actually already had a lawyer on the case.
It always sickens me that people would sue a charitable company.
Of course the suit was denied.
Thank god for that manager for her good records.
