To Whom It May Concern:
Grancell law apparently wishes to continue file churning in further attempts of continuous harm and failures to provide medical care.
CNA insurance carrier apparently wishes to continue the breach of fiduciary responsibilities to have provided and to provde immediate, reasonable and appropriate medical care.
Wyndham Worldwide Human Resources and Risk Management staff seem to have a bad case of ‘not my job’ and continue to refuse to engage in interactive process for return to work, even though third party services were paid for in Summer of 2014, HR Director REFUSED TO ENGAGE, and continues to do so, and pretends she is in compliance, and alleges she is just following orders of legal counsel, to cover up her egregious mistakes in mis-handling of the injuries from day one, and the problems have only escalated because of the failures of many, and the unclean hands of even more.
Meanwhile, the life of the Injured has been decimated by these creatures and their willful arrogance and intent to harm, for personal gain.
- What’s next Wyndham? Any help for Injured Workers Now? Claim Audit of CNA? Claim Review of Grancell?
- Open Letter to #WorkComp Investigative Journalists—both sides of the Law
- What’s next Wyndham?
See excerpts from recent correspondence below. The audacity of requesting another evaluation is the ultimate in file churning. The injured worker has had so many ‘neuro-psych’ tests that ‘practice effect’ is hardly a concern; Injured Worker could likely administer the battery of tests, from spelling world backwards, to counting from 100 by 7’s, blocks, drawings, stories, recalling words, name words that start with “F” and more. WHAT A RACKET!
SOMEONE, PLEASE, IS THERE A DISTRICT ATTORNEY WORKING WORKCOMP IN CALIFORNIA???!!!
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR SENT A POLITE LETTER SAYING IT’S NOT THEIR JOB, AND DIRECTED INJURED WORKER BACK TO SACRAMENTO.
” Rock, paper and scissors should not be used to generate your Work Comp solutions.”
- #WORKERS COMP FRAUD, denied medical care to #WyndhamWorldwide brain injured worker: “You create your own opportunities”
- Injured Worker, Brain Injury Survivor exclaims, ‘I AM INJURED, NOT STUPID!’
- Hello California: 888+ days on #WorkComp Rest and Wait and Wait and Wait for Medically Necessary Treatments…
- #WorkCompFraud? 888 Days….. #TBI Injured Worker Still on the ‘Rest and Wait’ Program…. #ADJ8181903
Well, let’s take a quick look at all the diagnosis, requests for medical care, failures to provide medical care, reports from QME/AME doctors that couldn’t get the dates of injury straight, but did indicate that treatment received was reasonable, and that due to failures to receive treatment, things are just too bad how sad for an injured female disabled worker way over age 35. Records show reports from many many many doctors, and very few of their treatment recommendations were authorized. After waiting approximately 1 year for treatment, injured worker procured the recommended treatments and properly submitted requests for medical miles and treatments.
MTUS, ACOEM and NIH guidelines for care and treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury were callously disregarded by defense firm and insurance carrier, and employer refused to intervene despite repeated pleas for help from injured worker.
Here is list of blogs about the events, the doctors seen, diagnosis, recommendations for treatments, denials of treatments, etc.

The spreadsheet below in through Summer 2013. The rest has been more of the same.
The file churning and ‘evaluations’ that are disregarded by non-doctors in 2012/2013, and with complicity by Corvel Corporation doctors since February 2013 is outrageous.
