Workers Comp laws have changed in most states over the last few years.

It is mind numbing today what people are put through and there is no guarantee that you will ever win your case. The law is written for the protection of the EMPLOYER and not the employee. Most all states are considered 'at will' states meaning they can fire (as well as hire) at their will and discretion. Not all mind you. But most.

I am so sorry that you have to deal with all of this. In my own personal experience I will tell you that the process is a drawn out one purposefully designed so that you will do ultimately what you are thinking of doing: dropping your claim.

Only you can decide if you have the strength -- emotionally, physically, financially, and spiritually to pursue the length of months or even years which this will ultimately take. Remember, you may not win.

Sending you positive vibes and wishing you much luck in your future.
