He grew up near the pine forests and remembered watching the big trucks go down the road loaded with logs. He always thought, “Someday I’m going to be a logger.” He’d been so proud when that day finally came and he was out in the forest with the guys. Five years later he still loved the job. He knew it was dangerous, so was always careful and followed the rules, especially now when they were waiting for the baby.
He never saw the log that hit him; the boss was pushing them to go faster so they could get that big order shipped. There was too much pressure and someone didn’t take the time to strap the logs down correctly. The doctors aren’t sure what damage has been done to his back, but they’re talking about an operation. His boss came by once to see him, but now won’t even return his call. His father called a lawyer he’d heard about and arranged for them to talk with him. He learned that Work Comp can be a complicated process, and that the insurance company is only interested in settling for as little as possible. His family needs help, and he’s glad that he doesn’t have to go through this alone. He needs someone experienced on his side.
