Aunque el Departamento de Justicia Criminal de Texas enumeró la muerte de Eric Johnson como "en el cumplimiento del deber", la Oficina Estatal de Gestión de Riesgos negó el reclamo de beneficios de compensación para trabajadores de su familia sobreviviente diciendo que su muerte "no ocurrió dentro del curso y alcance de su empleo ”.

Nikki Miller recientemente obtuvo una gran victoria contra un empleador corrupto y la compañía de seguros después de negar los beneficios de compensación para trabajadores en base a las mentiras e intimidación del empleador al empleado lesionado. Nikki representó a un cliente que contrató a nuestra firma después de sufrir una grave lesión en la mano en el trabajo. El empleador presionó de inmediato al trabajador lesionado para que dijera que golpeó su mano con la puerta de su casa, cuando en realidad, su mano fue aplastada en el trabajo.

Los compañeros de trabajo que comparten intereses comunes y pasan una cantidad significativa de tiempo juntos pueden sentirse atraídos el uno por el otro. Sin embargo, la realidad es que, si bien estas relaciones no son buenas para las organizaciones, las empresas no pueden evitar que sucedan. Entonces, en lugar de tratar de prevenir las relaciones románticas, deberían asesorar a sus empleados con un enfoque profesional.

Un superintendente enojado, una pierna perdida y una total indiferencia por la seguridad

Tyler Lee was a superintendent for a major construction company, observing one of his crews trying to lift an auger that had been deeply placed into the earth but wouldn't budge. Chris Miller, another superintendent on the job, was managing the effort without success. According to the description of the facts in the appeals court ruling, Miller was enraged that the auger was stuck and knew that failure to release the deeply embedded auger would result in days of lost time, money, and trust.

Footage was recently obtained by Abbott, Clay & Bedoy showing a male white tail deer doing its best to destroy an insurance office in Frisco, Texas. The invasion took place this past summer, but footage was only released earlier this month. There are no indications that the deer injured anyone, but if there had been injuries, Abbott, Clay & Bedoy LLC would have been there to provide information and help for the victims. We'll just chalk this up to good luck... or bad luck, depending on the way you look at it.

DECEMBER 2017 – Workers’ compensation attorney Joseph Bedoy secured a complete victory for his client at trial, after the employer did everything possible to prevent the injured worker from obtaining income benefits and medical care for a serious eye injury suffered in the course and scope of his employment. After injuring his eye, the employee notified his employer, who immediately tried to sweep the injury under the rug by paying for the employee’s medical bills using company funds, rather than turning over the claim to the workers’ compensation insurance company, as required. Based on a review of the facts leading up to trial, Bedoy states the employer became irritated when the medical bills began to significantly grow. Realizing that the injury was more significant than originally hoped, and following the insistence of the injured employee, the employer eventually filed a claim with the workers’ compensation insurance carrier.
