Gallagher Bassett Denied and Covered Up Work Incident Cheyenne WY
On Jan 28, 2013 I was in an Elevator at my place of employment (Echostar Communications Corporation in Cheyenne, WY) when the Elevator malfunctioned and jolted my head snapping my pre-existing fusion in C5,6&7. The cieling tiles were dangling and I had to step a foot up and out of the Elevator. In attending the Doctors office the next morning and with swelling and severe pain, I was promptly denied the occurance happened at all a mere week later. Denied any more Doctor's or corrective surgery, Denied the Elevator malfunction even though I had several witness' and I was made to feel like I was at fault because I had a pre-existing condition. I am otherwise a very healty and happy 47 year old of good sound mind and body. I have since aquired 14K in medical bills, lost the ability to work full time and became clinically depressed. I finially found a Lawyer but soon learned that her pockets were not deep enough to fight EchoStar/Gallaher Bassett. There are now no records of the Elevator malfuntioning even though it was "Out of Service" for an entire week. I was also denied Short Term Dissability from my Employer EchoStar because of the complete "Cover Up" of the injuries I sustained.
