Hello,
I need to know can an employer discard my personal belongings while Im out on Workers Comp, TTD? I was injured on the job and my doctor took me off. Since then, I have been compromised and released. I emailed my employer requesting my belongings and told them where to send them. They never did and asked what items was I referring to. I told them but they never got back to me. I contacted my attorney and he told me to email him with a list of my belongings. Eventually told me they stated that they contacted me by email and verbally and left a message stating to pick up my things. They said i never responded. They were in storage for a long time so they discarded them. The employer NEVER contacted me to pick up anything, by email or phone. And if this was the case, why didn't they tell me that when I emailed them to send my belongs to my address? I need to know can they do this? I want proof that they contacted me. What recourse do I have against them? There were special things in my belongs such as my son's first baby picture from the hospital that I cannot get back, amongst some other things!! My attorney is acting very nonchalant about everything now that my case is over and Im hurt and feel robbed!!
