    Do you have someone within your firm that would be willing to at least have a look. I'm not made of money but willing to retain someone if you believe worth the fight. Advise direct message please. Thanks

    workmans compensation

    Today, my friend had an appointment with her "family" doctor. She first went to him when the accident happened. He advised her not to go back to work as the injury has not healed. He gave her 21 additional days of medical leave. All well and good but...these additional days will be without...

    workmans compensation

    She had appointments with Idopril doctors today, both of them signed documents releasing her from further claims. I told her, no matter how much it hurts, to go back to work at the resort. If she can't manage the work then let the resort terminate her vice just sitting at home and be...

    more to the story...my friend advises that she has just been told by the insurance doctor that they have concluded the injury she has was not sustained accidently while at work. Further, the insurance payment that she had been receiving has been terminated. I'm sure that she has records of...

    workmans compensation

    a friend of mine experienced an accident while working at one of the eastern resorts. It appears she will need physical therapy for a considerable length of time. I mentioned that perhaps the employer was covered by workmans compensation and that an application for assistance should be...

    E-Tickets (again)

    I've have NOT been able to pick the actual place I was staying, both north coast and south, since the establishment was not in the sticky field. And, there is/was no ability to type in the hotel. I just picked a place close by and never had a problem but I wonder if this has been changed?

    from what I can glean from the link that T sent about the fines it would be 70K pesos at least.
