: : Dear Heywood:
: : Thank you very much for your detailed reply. But, like most attorneys, I'd like to impose on you for a few more questions. Your case appears to establish the completely incorrect way to manage a claim and exhibits a failure of communication between all 4 parties, the claimant, the insurance carrier, the physician and the employer.
: : 1.According to your reply, you're a construction worker. Did your foreman or supervisor direct you to perform this particular duty that led to your injury? Did he give directions regarding where to park your vehicle or did you posses the prerogative to park where necessary?
: : 2.You mention AIG had the area posted as "NO PARKING" immediately after your accident. I congratulate you on finding the previous photos of the area, but to whom would the insurance carrier give direction to post parking signs? 3.Does the insurance carrier utilize loss control consultants who provide technical advice to your employer or to the contractor for the area where you were injured?
: : 4. I'm curious...How did you determine you were being underpaid? That's why I previously asked if anyone from the insurance carrier or your H.R. department had explained the workers' compensation benefits to you.
: : 5.You mention retaining your attorney on January 23, 2003 and the attorney posted a "letter of intent" as mentioned in your first note. Sorry, but I'm not familiar with this posting: where did your attorney post the letter and what "intent" did the letter contain?
: : 6. Did the insurance investigator ask your permission to tape your interview? Did he/she advise you could tape the interview also? Did he/she tell you a transcript would be made available to you?
: : 7. I don't know you and you don't know me; at some point in the future could you make your proposed handbook available to me. The handbbook can be a very graphic example to use in my seminars for insurance claims managers for treating injured workers in a fair and dignified manner.
: : Thank you again for your time and effort in responding to my questions. I hope your injury heals well and you settle your differences with your insurance carrier.
: : I previously asked about your surname-Jablome- my wife is Norwegian with a similar name and I was curious as to the heritage of yours.
: : Thanks again,
: : Tom Thumbelt
: I will be glad to answer all your questions when my case is over and settled.
Dear Heywood:
Thanks for your previous help. Good luck with your case and hope your injury heals rapidly and you are good as new.
Sincerely,
Tom Thumbelt
