Why can't we sue Gallagher Bassett for denial of claims, impeding prompt physical recovery with the neccessary approvals on time? resulting in multiple complications from not doing the right thing!!!

Never mind the fact they never return phone calls, deny medications, refuse to pay bills they should pay, deny benefits, stall, stall, stall, deny, lie, lie, lie. Where can we find a lawyer that will sue them? Who oversees workers compensation companies? Someone has to!

All this company does is benefit from injured workers. They receive more money than the injured worker. We need to spread the word and find an attorney who will make them accountable for what they do.!!

Yes, we are a Third Party Administrator, if we handle your claim, we do hold a insurance adjusters license in your state. WE ARE LICENSED INSURANCE ADJUSTERS.

Yes, we are overworked and underpaid and I have never treated one of my injured workers in an unprofessional manner. I treat them as I would want to be treated. I try to be very prompt on returning phone calls, e-mails and faxes, I schedule prompt medical appointments, physical therapy and diagnostic test. I am a Christian, I am not going to *** and I would rather not get my throat slit as some of the people on this site have been wishing on all Gallagher Bassett employees.

If you are unhappy with the way your case is being handled get a lawyer. I abide by all state laws, so yes I sleep at night except for the nights that I am up working on your claims so that you get what you deserve

Can you suggest a lawyer who likes to sue Gallahger Bassett? And as far as I'm concerned carry on the light night overload but, make sure they pay you; or you'll be hiring one too.

I agree with every single one of you, but I must ask myself this question, there has been a commentary written on this site claiming Gallagher & Bassett is just a third party to our injuries,so what does that mean. They called me to handle my work related injury claim,gave me a adjuster,my attorney contacted this company numerous times.This women from GB had faxed my doctor a letter,if there only a third Party, who is the second!!

There claiming there hired for the company for risk management purposes, excuse me but GB is injuring people here claiming they are the workman comp insurance for the companies of all these injured people, including myself.GB need's to get there fact's straight!!I do believe if I find this information is true I will file impersonating a adjuster under workman's comp,with furthering my injuries, and adding and embedding with this company I worked for!! The Time Is Near,The Time Is Now!!

I agree I have been dealing with these people since 8/08 when I got hurt at work. I had to hire an attorney to get the surgery I needed.

I finally got the surgery 1/2010. I still have not recieved a dime in disibility from them for being off a month with the surgery.

They lie, won't answer mine or attorney's phone calls they just don't respond. There should be some body that oversees them and not let them get away with the things they do.

I was injured in 2004 and now I have sustained nerve damage in the hand I work with because they denied my physical therapy and to my knowledge they still have not paid off my surgeon. They are IDIOTS.

In California you can slap them hard...Labor Code Section 5814..check it out....

Labor Code Section 5814

In interpreting a statute, courts generally look first to the plain or ordinary

meaning of the statuteรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs language to determine the Legislature's intent. (Green, supra,

127 Cal.App.4th at p. 1435, citing DuBois v. Workersรขโ‚ฌโ„ข Comp. Appeals Bd. (1993) 5

Cal.4th 382, 387-88.) รขโ‚ฌล“Every word and clause is given effect so that no part or provision

is useless, deprived of meaning, or contradictory.รขโ‚ฌย (Ibid.) Moreover, if รขโ‚ฌล“more than one

interpretation is reasonable, the language is interpreted consistent with the purpose of the

statute and the statutory framework as a whole, using rules of construction or legislative

history in determining legislative intent.รขโ‚ฌย (Ibid.)

Section 5814, provides in relevant part:

รขโ‚ฌล“(a) When payment of compensation has been unreasonably delayed or refused, either

prior to or subsequent to the issuance of an award, the amount of the payment

unreasonably delayed or refused shall be increased up to 25 percent or up to ten thousand

dollars ($10,000), whichever is less. In any proceeding under this section, the appeals

board shall use its discretion to accomplish a fair balance and substantial justice between

the parties.

รขโ‚ฌล“(b) If a potential violation of this section is discovered by the employer prior to an

employee claiming a penalty under this section, the employer, within 90 days of the date

of the discovery, may pay a self-imposed penalty in the amount of 10 percent of the

amount of the payment unreasonably delayed or refused, along with the amount of the

payment delayed or refused. This self-imposed penalty shall be in lieu of the penalty in

subdivision (a).รขโ‚ฌย

I have been fighting them for 6 years.
