crwdog67 0 #1 July 18, 2002 I recently broke ankle and was wondering if anyone knew of any federal or state agences that might assist with income during the 10-12 weeks I am going to be off work. I did have medical insurance so a large portion of those bills covered but there are other lfe expenses that need covered. I was hoping that maybe someone has dealt with injuries more might have more information that would help me. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may also be eligible for some sort of disabilities, although not technically work related. Best of luck. Shark CCR-2113 CCS-xxxx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hottamaly 1 #3 July 18, 2002 I bought extra insurance that pays per accident, not per bills. Sure saved my a@@ when I broke my ankle, it's through Colonial. It won't help you now but you might think about getting some sort of additional insurance for the future.

PhreeZone 20 #4 July 18, 2002 What type of work do you do that will prevent you from working with the cast on? If its physical work, you can ask to be temp assigned to the office untill it heals.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
