Clearly whatever bright bulb thought up the Death of a Thousand Cuts spent far too much time filing. What the hell happened to the paperless office, anyhow?

On the other hand, people keep plying me with chocolate, so I guess I'll let them live.

/goes off grumbling to look for more bandaids...

*G* And that gave me the first laugh of the day, so that helps. (Even if you're taking all the fun out of everything even as you give me new ideas!)

Oh we've seen workers comp claims for all kinds of things.

I'll warn Yolanda - if she gets a call from you I'll tell her not to listen. She will be instructed to stick her finger in her ear and say "la la la".

Now I'm tempted to be contrary and call her just to say Merry Christmas while she la-las! *G*

Just curious now - what's the weirdest workers comp you've ever gotten, legit or not?

Oh where do I start...

We had a girl get stung by a bee in her mouth.

We also had a guy who, while working in an office, said he got something in his eye and subsequently needed very expensive surgery. It was proven in court that the issues happened before he "got something in his eye."

We had an internal employee doing sales claim she got injured in a car accident but she went to a doctors office that was miles away from her territory and her car didn't have a scratch on it.

We also had a guy dislocate his shoulder while opening a filing cabinet. He then admitted to us that it was an old football injury - AFTER our workers comp paid for very expensive surgery. There was nothing we could do about it.
