Hi Eddie, I know the weather related pain for 14 years. My attorney friend came over last week to check up on me and get a present I had for him. He described how I would call him before storms and describe the increasing pain. Unfortuantely he knows nothing of WC. Bad news is you can't sue for mental anguish. The worse news is there is sure to be more bad news. I just saw this post after I had emailed you that I believe Liberty Mutual paid for someones prodisc during the trial in 2002. From what you describe of your condition, I think it is great you can still show up to work and no matter what, you are better off working than not. I received an opinion from a WC lawyer today where he equated large WC loss to a building collaspe and loss of life. That is about the only way you get large numbers from WC he went on to say. I always knew I was probably worth more dead, thank you for making it legal.
