Complaint Review: Mid-America Hardwoods/hardwood Flooring Company

My husband worked for this company for two years. I bragged to my friends and family about what a great place to work and the benefits of the job, christmas parties and a summer picnic. What a fake company of course it is just like any other company once you get hurt you are out of luck and so much more. We have two young kids to feed and clothe.

He was working on a machine feeding boards through it and a board got throw back and hit him in the shoulder. I know this had to hurt, he was always coming home with big splinters in his hands( i was very proud of him ,for working so hard) . I really cant remember if he worked the rest of the shift or if they sent him home. They put him on workcomp and put him into physical therapy. He could not hardly stand the pain. Therapy did not do any good but when they finished with his therapy. The company fired him and stopped paying for any of his pain medicines instantly with no warning.

The work comp doc said he needed surgery on his shoulder. Long story shortened the company put his surgery off for an entire year, no pain meds no money nothing. Finally done his shoulder surgery, we thought it would be close to being over. That was two years ago. He was off work for an entire year and a half. They are still trying to get out of theyre comp suit they offered us 1600.00total. What a joke he at least should get his wages for the year and half and his shoulder is still hurt. His wages would not be but around 25,000.00. he should get intrest on top off that. I really dont know why they get to take theyre sweat time and then they still rip you off. How are people supposed to survive a family of four on 1000.00 a month. I hope no one else gets hurt really bad it is really dangerous there they are not staffed correctly and do not even know osha reg.
