I am an Aircraft mech. Now contracting @ the rate of $6/$11, $6 is taxed, $11 is not.$25.50 for O/T I've been diagnosed with CTS and had surgery done on the right hand. Out of work since 1/04/0. Employers INS. Co. is Zurich (big, but in no way better). Workman's Comp claim has been filed and approved. Zurich only pays based on $6 an hour ($240.), but checks have been being only $319.06 every 2 weeks. I have talked with a past employer who said all employees there in North Carolina diagnosed with CTS have received a check for $5,000 to $7,000 per hand after surgery. (but can not file again for 2 years with Workman's Comp. concerning CTS.) Are these settlements only for workers in North Carolina? I work in the state of Arizona, which is a "right to work" state. I could really use this money now, how and where would one go about filing for this settlement? I'm in no way in this for the money, I just want to keep a roof over my head. My car is about to be repossessed also. Doctor says it will be 4 to 6 weeks before I can return to work. Plus he still needs to do surgery on the left hand. |
