Q. Have cobra ins from pryor employer hurt on job no worker comp and cobra plan won't pay what can i do?
- i am self employed and contract my services out. i have cobra insurance from previous employer. was hurt on job and do not have worker comp insurance. cobra insurance will not pay, said it is a worker comp claim.


since you are your own employer, I would suggest writing a letter on your company letterhead stating that you do not carry work comp on yourself and have no employees. Submit that with a letter to the health insurance carrier explaining your situation, along with the original denied claim. Your health insurance should pay if there is no work comp.

Q. I was in real shock by experiencing a serious problem in my previous job. i had to resign cuz of that..?
- after leaving the job, i felt very bad loneliness and started to cry.. especially when i didn't find anyone next to me.. all best friends i had in that company stop contacting me for 2 months claiming that they were busy with their job.. so i decided to forget them, it was the hardest time ever.. what's the use of friend if u can't find him when u need.. and now. after i moved on and about to forget them, they finally start to e-mail me. apologizing. but i never reply.. they admit their mistake, but i can't forgive them.. i have to say that they were nice with me when we were together.. but, i am still hurt and shocked for leaving me alone suffering after i left.. each time they send me an email, i want to reply blaming them for what they had done but i can't.. i prefer not to reply... am in a real bad situation.. i need to move on .. either forget them forever.. or showing them their mistakes.. and move on.. really don't know what to do.. thanks for ur help..


You should forgive them. But a lot of people don't really understand what this word means, and I know its not easy. It means weather you decide to have a relationship with them or not, you stop worrying about it, stop feeling sad over it, and move away from any negative feelings you have about it. I only know what your telling me and I'm going by that. These people were there when it was convenient for them but as soon as you needed them they were to busy. We must learn from history. Who is to say they wont do it again. Friendship is not a one way street. But, now that you've had this experience, take it, learn from it and let it go. If you cant let it go, it might be better to just move on with your life.

Q. Is there anyway to find out if someone has had a previous accident compensation claim?
- a person who i have employed has "hurt" his back after 2 hours of work and is now on compo. rumour has it that he was on compo for his back on his last job but he wont say who he worked for last. is there anyway i can tell if he has or if his back was hurt from before and he is abusing the system


You should be able to get the information from any government or centre care records, especially since your an employer. Contact your ombudsman if you can?

Q. What should i state as my reason for leaving my last job on an application?
- i was fired by my employer of almost 12 years for filing a workers compensation claim. this is illegal in my state and there is a legal action pending. i have been out of work a year but now that i am all healed up and ready to work i am at a loss as to what i should state as my reason for leaving. i don't really like putting the words "fired", "terminated", or "let go" on my application even if it was illegal to fire me. also i don't want to make the impression that i am accident prone or a trouble maker or worse, that i was trying to get rich by getting hurt. i want to be honest especially since i know prospective employers are apt to contact my previous employer. a bad reference from this employer already cost me a possible job with the usps. any advice would be greatly appreciated. the sooner i get back to work the better! thanks


"Had no fault in leaving your past job..."



When stating information of this type, you need to convey to the possible new employer that you had no fault in leaving your past job . Reason for leaving: After 12 years of faithful service I was released because of an on the job injury. Or Reason for leaving: After 12 years of faithful service, last employer released me after being injured by no fault of my own. There needs to be no mention of a pending lawsuit. They just asked WHY you left, NOT if you have a grievance against your old employer. They will find out anyway. What you stated is the truth and shows the NEW company that you spent 12 years with that company with no problems.


This answer closely relates to:
  • Hurt my back on job
    • I was injured last year, can i claim for income replacement benefits?
    • If i get hurt on my employers property and claim it can i get fired?
    • How much should i get back if i got into a car accident?

Q. Scott has been hired by your organization and has worked for you for nine months. ?
- scott has been hired by your organization and has worked for you for nine months. he soon begins reporting he has hurt his back while on the job. after numerous sick days and trips to the doctor, scott returns. you work as a manager for the organization. while at a trade association conference in another city, you happen to meet several people who know scott - and who also worked with him in the past. they begin telling stories about how he always claimed to be hurt or sick and filed numerous worker compensation claims. you learn that the organization gave him a hefty settlement to take care of all of his distress and pain. while you have no clear proof that scott is getting ready to file worker compensation claims at your organization, you believe that scott's recent work behaviors are strikingly similar to those that his previous co-workers had discussed with you. 1. what concerns you about this situation? 2. what do you do with this new information?


"When someone gets hurt on the job..."



If this is a true situation, check with Workmen's Compensation Board, and find out what kind of injuries which the guy had! Number one, HOW did he hurt his back, and were there any witnesses?? And did he go to his own doctor, or the company's!? Usually, when someone gets hurt on the job, they are given lighter work so he doesn't agrivate it any further! Is he using the same injury over and over again? Now, I would call all his previous employers and find out the facts, not what someone told you at a conference! Answer to No.1 - if all this is true, as I said before, he is using the system to get settlements from these companies, and someone hasn't been smart enough to follow through and check this guys past out!! After so many injuries, I am surprised he isn't on permanent disability!! But, in the meantime, don't let him work alone, he may be putting himself in jeopardy on purpose and creating his own accident!!

Q. What do do about this? i'm fed up?
- my husband and i have been together for almost 7 years. we have been having problems because i am the only one with a stable job for years now. the bills have gotten way behind as i'm the only one who pays them. our electricity got cut off from the wires behind our home because we're that far behind. i have 3 children from a previous relationship. i am also over one thousand miles from my hometown. my husband all of a sudden last night after we were intimate accused me of another man. i was like what?!! i was taken aback and very hurt! so today he claimed he had to go to work and so did i. i dropped him off over to his mother's house and i went to my job. i have my home calls transfered to my cell phone and his job called wanting to know where he was?? about 3 minutes after i dropped him off he calles me to tell me it's over, we're not together anymore. i was like ok! and hung up my phone. he also said he would be coming to get his things later. he has also claimed he got off work one night at 11 45pm but didn't come home until 4 am because he claims a lady asked him to take her to the er because she had chest pains?! wtf ever!! i am a long way from home and want to be close to my family because i know as soon as this woman he's with find out how he is he will try to come back to me. i want no part of him whatsoever!! i feel like he's less than a man to leave me and my kids in this situation! advice please?


Get out while you can - it can only get worse. If I was you I'd suspect him of having the affair - he's only accusing you to try and deflect suspicion. He's been less than a man all the time he's sat back and allowed you and your children to get into this situation. It won't be easy but you'll find it much easier to sort out your life without him. I speak from bitter, similar experience...

Q. Should i take these relatives to be my tenants?
- i have an apartment currently up for rent. my estate agent is currently looking for a tenant for me. my two brother in laws approached my husband to ask if they could rent our apartment, however i am reluctant because they have a bad history. but, because it's family, my husband dosn't want to say no and hurt them, yet 1) they both don't have jobs 2) one of them has two young children 3) they are both alcoholics and have drug problems 4) one has a history of violence and abuse(known to damage walls to homes, etc) 5) they are unreliable. i am saying no but my husband and his family will probably hold it against me. advice please? please note, our previous tenants didn't pay rent, damaged our property and we are in debt because of it. we have lodged a claim with our insurance company. we are in need of good tenants. thanks


"No job..."



No job, no apartment. The unemployment is the deal killer. Those other things don't even need to be mentioned. Now I've got that George Thorogood song in my head - hey, man, I'm outdoors. Can I maybe stay with you a couple days? Lemme go ask my wife - she's kinda funny. The good guy/bad guy routine is a classic. And offer to babysit the little ones while they look for other lodgings.

Q. Does anyone think i am over reacting after hubby's previous affair?
- my husband and i have been married for 5 years,have 2 lovely kids and he is a great father to them.....he has in the past had an affair to which he admitted(only when i found out,after months of accusations),so we moved away from all the mess and hurt that it left,for a fresh start. now we are living away from his family he claims he's lonely and even though i am a good mother and wife,there is something missing???.sxx between us is great and he says that he does love me.....but i have recently found that he has been chatting to a lady in a chat room and has been to meet her(on a strictly freindship basis??!!!!!)..i love him so much and can't imagine my life without him.,.we have thought of councelling as he admits he has problem with being lonely, as i do everything for our kids and don't give him enough of my attention...... due to our jobs we don't get a lot of time together,we don't have relatives to babysit while we work...is councelling the answer??? do leopards ever change? having both 2 kids and 2 dogs and a part time evening job is hard enough.....i have given him more time and attention as we have spoken about this before and what he feels his missing....i've started going to the gym also and changed my look to make myself more appealing to him(when he slleps,as he is a night shift worker,but he makes me feel guilty for not being at his bek and call all the time....as many of you have said(me too) that he needs to grow up and realise that when you have kids your proprities change,he is no longer the centre of my world......i want to give him another chance but am worried i am going to get hurt and be betrayed again.....he has is own work computer which i don't have access to,it was just a gut feeling(womans intuition that made me check his phone and pc),i knew i was right but he lied about it calling me paranoid!!! thanks to you all for your replies...i think he feels it is normal and acceptable as his father cheated and lied to his mum for years!


i don't really trust the meeting with the lady from the internet. i would suggest counseling. my fiance and i had a problem like this and i left him for like six months. since we have been back together...i haven't had any problems. it's probably not fisable for you to take a break like that though with two small children. try talking to him about what he is missing and try to make time to fulfill whatever it is.
