Yep thats how it goes in this country all the laws are written to favor the companies. Thats why we formed unions back in the day. In the 1950's half of the country's work force was unionized today it's less then 6%. I'd say their standard of living was a lot better back then then it is now.

In the US, the workers are protected, and when hurt on the job during the time youre clocked-in, youre covered against injuries.

If you have a witness and someone who will testify. It also had to be negligence against the place where you work. You cant just hurt yourself because you were dumb and get workers comp. Not anymore. Most workers comp judges were business attorneys fighting against employees if that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy at work.

Well, even if we disagree about some topics, you don't deserve this. No one does more so when trying to help some autistic people with stress problems. Wish I could help you but don't have a clue about laws in the UK pertaining to workers comp.

Sent my contract to a solicitor yeserday with details of what happened.
I will keep you all updated.

Hope you're feeling a little better now - can I ask, are you on a zero hours contract? I work in a smiliar setting - rehabilitation following acquired brain injury - but work nine to five, contracted. I just checked the paperwork and I have waaaay more rights than that. I would have full sick pay at least. However, when I worked in acute care, it was shift work and if I got hurt, they just didn't schedule me until I was better.

I agree with everything you say about how the best laid (care) plans of mice and men can go awry, and it does sound as though you need to find a solution to having fire extinguishers in reach (but still accessible, it's a toughie). In the meantime, have you considered moving sideways, so you can still do the work you love. I got my teaching qual, left acute care (rewarding, but a little too war-zoney for the long term) and and now teach in a service that works with people much further along in their journey - still that exciting edge of unpredicatability and knowing you're helping people recover from terrible experiences, but much less, well, hurty.

How are you doing now, man? Are you getting around okay? I'll be nice and not post any funny videos. I imagine it would still hurt too much to laugh.

a reply to: singingbones

Thing is with me I hate paperwork and my skill set is on the front line lol

I just saw this, sorry for being late... i hope your Ribs are better... i've gotten Broken Ribs before from beatings, they are not fun
