“Is It Better Under the Umbrella?” Part 1
I need your help to address the barbaric, inhumane treatment Travelers Insurance Group imposes on injured workers within the Workers’ Compensation System! The “umbrella of coverage” folds as the State of IL allows Travelers Insurance Group to deny legitimate wc claims.

Immediate and necessary medical care, to resolve all the medical issues which were a direct result of his work-related accident that occurred on April 10, 2004. The injured worker learns employer-chosen doctors will increase disputes over appropriate medical care as cost-containment is Travelers’ top priority!

Several medical documents state, “Right shoulder injury is due to improper positioning on the surgical table.”
The surgeon and other professionals state, “The right shoulder injury is part of the work-related accident that occurred on April 10,2004.”

Denies legitimate claims—Insurance is a business for profit.
Morals, ethics, and adhering to the law become secondary considerations. The injured workers’ quality-of-life is meaningless.
Treats injured workers like statistics…Your never respected as an individual or human being.

Heterosexual, bisexual/gay, transgender, Catholic, Baptist, or Jewish: Healthcare, something we all need, irrespective of race, religion, creed or sexual orientation. The silence has to be broken. Travelers Insurance Group literally destroyed a human life. Injured workers should not have to endure such inhumane treatment. He trusted the professionals…the professionals trust the dollar bill! First lie: the right shoulder injury is a result of the work-related accident on April 10, 2004.

1) A doctor who submits a falsified medical report to hide the true injuries of an injured worker and allow an insurer to deny benefits to an injured worker is guilty of Workers’ Compensation fraud.
2) A doctor who falsifies medical records to indicate that a worker has an occupational injury when he does not, is committing Workers’ Compensation fraud.

Their loss ratio is 30%--For every dollar in premium collected from employers, only 30 cents were paid out in benefits. Injured workers innocently pay the price for Travelers’ financial success!!
Senator Dick Durbin was notified of the loans originated with an interest rate--45%--typical of a “loan shark” and Congressman Joe Walsh was apprised of Travelers unjust denial of legitimate workers’ compensation claims. Although it’s the job of state government to look-out for injured workers, they chose to simply “look the other way or pass-the-buck!”
