Wal-Mart Denied Proper and Timely Healthcare

Community Rally Wife Seeking Justice for Husbands Untimely Death After Wal-Mart Denied Proper and Timely Healthcare
On Tuesday, March 3, 2009, at 3:30 p.m., there will be a rally in protest of the death of Don Allen in front of the Georgia Workers Compensation Board, 270 Peachtree Street, NW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303-1299.
March 3, 2009 commemorates the 2-year anniversary of the death of Don Allen. After 2 years, Wal-Mart is still denying spousal death benefits and workers compensation benefits due his wife, Clarietha Allen, from her husbands wrongful death.
On September 18, 1997, Don Allen was employed by Wal-Mart d/b/a Sams Club in Tucker, GA. While performing his regular work duties, a 27 TV, placed on a soda machine by his supervisor, fell on his head. Wal-Mart refused to call an ambulance to transport him to the hospital. Don Allen sustained a spinal cord injury, herniated disc, post concussion syndrome, nerve damage, back injury, and psychological problems. His case was deemed catastrophic by the Appellate Division of the State Board of Workers Compensation in September 2006. Don Allen was overwhelmed with his illness and was unable to do a last deposition requested by Wal-Mart in December of 2006. As a result of Wal-Mart not providing proper and timely healthcare and prolonging the case for 10 years, Don Allen died an untimely death on March 3, 2007.
In an effort to help Don Allen and assist others to fight for their rights as injured workers, his wife, Clarietha Allen, established Georgia Employee Association (GEA) in 2000. The organization is dedicated to providing advocacy, representation and information for Georgia employees. It is committed to facilitating statewide economic growth in an equitable atmosphere that respects profit and protect people.
We are asking other advocates and Georgia workers to support this organization and show up and participate in this rally.
For further questions contact Clarietha Allen, Georgia Employee Association, 9 Gammon Avenue, S.W., Atlanta, GA 30315, Phone: (770) 463-0087.

@Mr517519 im going through a similar situation i got hurt on the job walmart gave me no workman comp and i returned to work after surgery now ive re injured myself i cant change dept in the store and i might have to go back back under the knife do u think should try to file for disability

This has happened to me as well. Workmens Comp keeps refusing to let me see certain doctors even though other doctors say I need to see them. Its sad, I took them to court twice and they had to let me see the doctors, Judge said, "The doctors said he needs to seem this type of doctor and he is to get his medical treatment." Now its going for round three with workmens comp and the doctor thing all over again. Its really sad how they have no faith in God. I am disabled "PER DOCTORS" from my injury

do you think 7 open checkouts and one bagger to serve all the checkout is unfair ?
