CONTINUOUS TRAUMA is a searing legal and psychological suspense drama that's also an
expose of corrupt worker's compensation and health care practices that endanger the health and welfare of thousands of
Americans every day. It's a story based on actual case histories and on events that could happen to any of us, at any
time.
Winning the Disability Challenge charts a course of action to personal security and
self-fulfillment and guides the disabled worker through both the emotional trauma of occupational disability and the
complex world of disability rights and resources.

In those 10 years we have totally surpassed the goals that we have set out for ourselves and we've done it on a shoestring budget. We created the first national media network and channel specifically for the occupationally injured and THAT WILL CONTINUE, but under a different management. It's time to concentrate on what works! In those 10 years so many phonies have set up shop saying that they advocate for the occupationally injured when it's really your money that they're after, it really disgusts me! Hey folks, injured workers don't have any or haven't you figured that out yet? The organization that claims to financially help the occupationally injured with money grants, yet when we send 5 or 10 folks their way, they mysteriously have none to give. All these folks seem to care about is your money with no guarantee of anything in return. A slick looking website and a neat looking seal with an eagle and all, but all fluff and really no content at all! I simply can't run this organization out of my pocket anymore so I am closing up shop and dissolving the non-profit corporation, period. For those who had the decency and forethought to help with the freight. I cannot thank you enough on behalf of injured workers everywhere for your help, participation and support; it has definitely made a difference! I'm not a spring chicken anymore and I still have goals that I wish to accomplish, so retirement seems a logical choice. But keep in mind why do we do what we do? For that answer one only has to read this letter below that we received from the wife of an injured worker who pretty much spells out what most injured workers already know. I get letters and correspondence from injured workers around America from time to time, chronicling their plight to hopefully get some form of simple justice from a system that is supposed to weigh in their favor and make them whole again. "I am filling out this form on behalf of my husband, who has a Severe Upper/Lower Respiratory Disease & Immune System Damage from 2 workplace accidents. He was negligently sent into a new department at a Plant in Niagara Falls, New York, without prior training or being issued a chemical respirator which went against their own company policy. His secondary injury is a Severe Back Injury (13 herniated lumbar,thoracic & cervical discs and 5 compression fractures with nerve impingement/damage, he is in excruciating pain 24/7, and on 15+ different respiratory, pain & various other medications costing almost $500,000.00 a year. Having the injuries was not the worst though. The worst by far was being sucked into the evil vortex "The Black Hole" called Workers' Compensation, a cesspool of pure evil & corruption. An isolated little world, a "Groundhog Day" existence, where everyday is the same and the nightmare never seems to come to an end due to the fraud committed through phony appeals, re-trying already settled issues (likened to Double Jeopardy), IME medical whores, holdouts and serious game-playing and hemorrhaging of time by insurers, lawyers and judges who would never put themselves though what they put us through. It took 9 years for my husband to have one surgery and only because it turned into an emergency. It should be called "Comp Wars", because that's what it is, a War. An everyday battle for what you are supposed to be already entitled to, with the ultimate goal being cutting you off from your benefits no matter how sick you are. It starts right at the beginning of the Workers' Comp. case with false statements from the IME's (supposed Independent Medical Examiners). They focus on cutting off your medications and supplies, so you will cry uncle and take a low-ball settlement from the insurer, which in essence is a death sentence to most. Workers' Comp is a disgrace. It is past time for serious action to force changes. I have been yelling at every Politician I can. Secretary of State Clinton promised me 3 times she would help and then let me down. Senator Gillibrand also promised. No one really cares. Workers' Comp is a dirty little secret no one really wants to deal with, but we need to make them listen! I really want to work with someone to force changes, to stop the madness of the oppression that injured workers are dealing with. It is as good as attempted murder to hold out on a person who needs medical attention. Workers' Comp. was supposed to reduce litigation, yet it is nothing but one big phony litigation fest. Permanently and totally disabled workers need to be able to sue insurers who refuse to obey the mandates of the law. Lumping everyone together is ridiculous. Martin Luther King's letter from the Birmingham jail is a letter every injured worker needs to read. He explains what an unjust law is ("An unjust Law is no Law at all," St Augustine). An Unjust Law is a Law where a minority group of people make laws that they would not follow themselves. This is the essence of Workers' Comp and I resent this. It is what happened to the Blacks in the South, and the Jews in Germany. Every person needs to obey the law, not just an injured worker while the insurers and their lawyers and phony doctors get away with everything under the sun. There is so much to say. Enough is enough, we need expose the corruption and make things right! We can make something happen if we all work together. Please someone call me! Let's start the conversation and get to the next step of overturning this corruption. We need to force the hand of the politicians to change and amend the laws now. After being in it, I know what needs to be changed. All of us together could come up with a new plan. We need to rally the troops in unity for change." Next question is why do insurers and employers get away with crimes that would get them imprisoned if committed in any other arena? In the area of work related injuries, the right to bring civil action against an employer or their "Workers' Compensation insurance carrier" has been almost totally eliminated. It has been replaced with the infamous, "Exclusive Remedy", a drastically flawed concept of "fairness" given to the employer and worker alike. Insurers have found it less costly to pay up to $10,000 for immediate medical attention while they work on denying the claim without fear of retribution. The Exclusive Remedy is best described as a compromise, an agreement if you will, to provide the appropriate and immediate medical care/treatment necessary to "Cure or Relieve", even before the claim is processed. For this seemingly empty promise, injured workers have been stripped of their rights to bring suit within the civil court system. And, just who made this compromise; it certainly wasn't the workforce of this state. It was employers, insurers, and your state officials that have brought this system to the sorry state it is in today. The Exclusive Remedy has become exactly what insurers have wanted all along, a "post-injury" shield to protect them from prosecution for the widespread criminal acts, abuses and fraudulent practices employed to deny, delay, and/or terminate all claims, legitimate or not. Then there are the state agencies who commission studies costing hundreds of thousands of dollars that come up with the same results as we do. Next time you want to do another dog & pony show, give us a call. Ask any injured worker, save a bunch of money. And last but not least, the injured worker advocacy organizations who try to convince you that they have influence with our legislators. Come on, if they had any influence, the laws would have been changed a long time ago. The only thing that talks in the capitol is money. So in the absence of a warchest full of money, we offer something that is more valuable, the truth, and we disperse it on our own internet television network!
