Thank you dear- you're an angel.

Admittedly, I came here via a friend's link and haven't read all the comments...BUT...

...Kevin doesn't need another video. Kevin needs an attorney -- STAT. In fact, he needed an attorney months and months ago. The attorney will work for a percentage of the settlement. I know. I'VE BEEN THERE. Get him one ASAP! Please!

And that is all.

Thank you for stopping in.

He's actually on his second attorney- and this one seems much more on the ball than the last guy. It's just that the insurance company has done everything from canceling court dates to FIRING THEIR LAWYERS to cause delays- and Kevin's running out of time.
Feel free to phone the insurance company and shame them- that's what we want more than donations, really. (although what people give does keep him in the hotel a bit longer).

Oh and since text doesn't indicate tone- I mean that thanks sincerely. It's good to hear from people who are passionate about the advice- we welcome all of it so much, even if it's things we've already done.

Hey there!

Yes, indeed -- I'm totally passionate about this subject and about getting Kevin help. I think you might ETA the LJ entry that he's on his second attorney because these guys are being bastards. You wouldn't believe how many people are afraid and don't get attorneys involved. As horrible an ordeal as this has been for Kevin, this is a great opportunity to educate others who have been hurt.

And, for a wee bit of inspiration, feel free to visit my website. Read the opening paragraph on the first page, click the link, and the story is there. He'll make it. There's something to be had from all of this pain and horror. I just know it.

I can't call internationally and the NZD is worth about 60c US or something stupid like that.

This is the website of the company: http://www.aarla.com/ They have a contact form it looks like but it has required fields that people aren't going to know how to fill (looking particularly at things like "company name" and "attention").

[lunakitten]

Let me get that info, and I'll post it here, or there may be a direct e-mail address for that. If nothing else we'll make sure it's on the new video we're doing.
In any case- NZ? Wow. Thank you so much!

This is criminal -- absolutely criminal. And inhumane. There are certain moral and ethical principles at stake here to which Kevin's insurance company are obviously not paying any attention.

It's a hard season for so many people right now, but this puts my own troubles into perspective. Donating $5 (wish it were more) and called the adjustor. I hope her voicemail has exploded with overuse by the time she comes in for work tomorrow morning. Keep us updated!

[lunakitten]

Thank you- bless you. It's unbelievable what they're pulling, isn't it.
I will certainly keep everyone informed, as info comes in.

Passing this along to all who commented: There is a new video, new info and we're going to court on Tuesday. If you can, please boost the new one, as we need every view we can get- the numbers will help us shame the insurance company into meeting their obligation (we hope). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQcyEYtkY6Q

That's one yellow brick road I've been down before

I have been through the worker's compensation rat maze of pain and terror. My heart goes out to Kevin. While my injuries weren't as severe, watching his video struck that "there but for the grace of God, go I" vibe. I called the adjuster and, as diplomatically as possible, expressed my feelings at the situation and the course they have chosen to take therein. I will encourage all of my friends to do so. I will also forward the link to my local news agencies on the hope that one of them bites.

I'm sorry you had to go through it- it's been so hard on Kevin and the people who care about him. I hope you had a good support system, and are much better now.
Thank you so much for the call and thank you for passing it on.
