If you get injured a few weeks after accepting a job due to poor work conditions, what is the best approach?


I find this to be a difficult situation because the employer will be very upset with you because you didn’t work there very long, but I have seen my patients go through this. I heard that attorneys don’t even want to accept these cases because the employee was not there long.

What is someone supposed to do in this situation? Just go for state disability?

If you are injured on the work site, a Workmen’s Comp file should already be open for you. Has that not happened?
Honestly, if you’re working on their location, even if you started yesterday, and you were injured you should qualify for Workmen’s Comp.
You also have to remember that if you were injured due to the companies in neglect or negligence, they have nobody to be upset with but themselves.

This is understandable. Is it like this in CA?

If you were injured because of unsafe working conditions, it shouldn't matter if you had been there for a day or 10 years. It's the company's responsibility to provide safe working conditions, and my guess is that you aren't the only person who has had an injury there. If they get mad, they should be mad at themselves.

Not a lawyer, but I'm skeptical that attorneys won't take on these cases. The length of employment shouldn't matter legally if unsafe working conditions led to the injury. It has to be worth consulting with one just to see if they have a case. If not, then I suppose state disability is the next best option.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

How would you respond to this note sent home on my toddler’s daily report from her in-home daycare provider. Mind you she didn’t say anything to me in person about this. Plus my daughter started saying “no daycare, no friends” when we tell her it’s time to go / ask her if she wants to see her friends.
