The dude was taken to the hospital immediately in an ambulance. That was absolutely a recordable injury.
False statement...
People are taken to hospitals via ambulance all of the time and are not classified as recordable injuries.
The treatment of the injured worker determines the recordability.

Congrats on losing attorney-client privilege via o-t lounge. Not the first, not the last, but probably the dumbest.
I have no attorney-client privilege as I’m not Brock or employed by Brock.

What happens if they decide to pay the medical bills, pay out lifetime disability benefits, just attempt to look like a decent co? You think they get hit with 400 million?
This. Just do the right thing, even if it hurts.

Yes but almost anything that happens as a result of the hospital visit will make it recordable. Tylenol prescribed? Recordable. Work restrictions? Recordable. List goes on.
Since you know so much, tell us how he went to the hospital in an ambulance and it wasn’t recordable

That injury and the subsequent treatment is 100% recordable. ? Only way I can think it's not is if the plaintiff had a medical event that led to the injury and not the fault of Crazy Mike.
Can you fill me in on what the treatment that made it 100% a recordable was? The people who I got my information from told me that the hospital records stated that it was limited to imaging and evaluations.

Loss of consciousness (if work related), missed or limited work time.

If he had loss of consciousness, missed or restricted work time from injury as stated before. Rigid bracing for purposes other than transportation pre-evaluation. Any treatment other than basic first aid. Did he receive pain relievers? And any medications or treatments rendered post hospitalization count. Was he dc'd in a C-collar? I'd need more info.

What about that statement makes you an expert on recordability? But since you are offering your opinion, it was stated that the dude was standing on a 2” scaffold bar when he was allegedly struck on the hard hat so hard that he suffered a disabling traumatic brain injury which caused him to lose consciousness, yet he never fell, his fall protection equipment never deployed, and his hard hat never left his head. In your expert fall protection experience, how likely is that?
Quoting this for posterity so the lawyers can bury this baw, too. Dumbass creating an account to bump a months old thread only to dig deeper.

It was a 20 lb bar from what I read. From what height? I'm going to guess at least the height of Crazy Mike. Let's say Crazy Mike is average height, that's a helluva blow. Especially on top of the height with no warning. A hard hat isn't a football helmet. That's a significant blunt force to the dome and axial load to the neck.
Put on a hard hat and have someone drop a 20 lb weight from say 6 feet onto the top of your head with no warning and get back to me.

I don't care if you give the entire company to Jose and his family. This isn't about compensation, it is about punishing Brock.

Let’s just say that Brock is horrible. They poison their employees and put them in impossible situations to be injured horribly and after injury they kick sand in the face of the injured and laugh. Absurdly bad behavior.
$411 million dollars is ridiculous
Besides-Employees still have a choice in where they work. They are not somehow forced to work for Brock.
This type of operation would quickly find themselves scrambling for quality workers as the word gets out about their horrible treatment of workers. Likely, they’d find themselves hiring plaintiff minded workers who just want to sue them. Oftentimes, they just get shut down as competitors hire the better workers and consequently do better work.
Your statement can ONLY make sense in a situation where an employee has no choice in where they work. They are forced to work for a singular boss who controls all of the workforce and rules like Attila the Hun and mistreats their employees as a habit. That is certainly not the case here.
Nah- in the modern world, this judgement is absurdly out of line. It sends the message to business and those that insure that business that they are not wanted. It says- “Gtfo. Leave Louisiana! We are not a business friendly state. We are a plaintiff friendly state.”
And that is what we’ve become and we’ve been punished by that plaintiff mentality for generations. Judges are liberal anti business minded. Some suspect Plaintiff attorneys and judges are in cahoots in some cases.
Under no circumstance is a $411 million dollar judgement warranted . Only in a corrupt legal system does it happen. And that’s what we have.

I do think 411 million is needed to discourage this sort of behavior from companies.
And yet this behavior continues to happen.
Anytime lawyers are involved it is 100% about how much the lawyers can get. Not the client or even punishing the defendant.
Only lawyers. Ever.

“I’ve spoken directly with an OSHA attorney and an OSHA rep—actual people whose job it is to interpret these things—and based on the medical reports, the incident didn’t meet the criteria for a recordable case. End of story.”
You know this isn’t damage control. This is cowardice with a script. You aren’t explaining-you are erasing.
“So if we’re calling people “morons” for posting “stupid shite,” might want to check the mirror first.”
I believe this is what you see in the mirror.

Tylenol prescribed? Recordable. - not necessarily - the prescription has to be greater than the OTC strength. There are also prescription drugs that can be suggested by a physician under prescription strength and will not meet OSHAs rules to make it a recordable
Work restrictions? Recordable. Same as above, there are interpretations of the law that could be applied here
