Q: I need legal help I was recently injured at work. A manager at a different store is going around saying I faked it.
I told the adjusters something in confidence and the other store managers going around telling other employees that I faked getting injured at work even though I had a witness and I had a previous injury in a different state years ago where a customer ran me over in the parking lot and she's gone around telling other employees that I faked getting ran over it's unprofessional and I don't feel like that is the right thing to do So I just need some legal help on what I could possibly do
A:
Tell your workers compensation attorney about this. If you do not have a workers compensation attorney, you need to get one right away. Do not let the company and its workers compensation attorney cheat you out of what you deserve, and don't let this kind of retaliation go on without an attorney to assist you.
One note: do not expect that anything you say to an adjuster is confidential. The are not your friend. They have their interests in mind, not yours.
Good luck to you.
