Fighting WorkSafe B.C after a 28ft fall...

My name is John B and I had fallen 28 feet to concrete June 23rd 2005 I was a Glassier I tripped and fell 6-8 feet hit head on second floor knocking my self out, falling an additional 20 feet, landed on left side of my body ?In December of 2007 WorkSafe cuts me of wage loss befits, vocational rehab befits start I am advised that I can not return to my old job so grab a newspaper and find a job. In 2001, BC Liberal Gordon Campbell declared that he was going to "clean house" at the WCB. True to his word, Campbell's government rewrote the WCB Act through Bills 49 and 63. Surrounded by controversy, those changes have had devastating effects on injured workers throughout BC. Featuring a decreased calculation of basic wage loss entitlement, the WCB Act was revamped from top to bottom.In 2003, the Workers' Compensation Board was rechristened as Work Safe BC. Along with other controversial changes, pensions for loss of earnings have become rare. If the Work Safe BC recognizes a permanent functional impairment, a disabled worker may qualify for a functional impairment pension or lump sum payment.The claim 05173881 had become a major liability to Work Safe B.C and certain measures were taken to ensure the I would go back to work. January 4th 2007 18 months later, Work Safe B.C cuts me of all befits because I could not do an active job search 8 hours a day, there were 3 injuries accepted at that time 1 denied.I protested at my house 3321 knight st and it was torn down in July 2007 . I was forced on to social assistance (welfare) I lived in his truck until Oct 14th 2007. October 24 2007 Work Safe B.C for some reason starts to pay me again they old me planning befits were introduce.Our Government is allowing this to happen to injured workers; they changed the laws & policies. 19 seriously injured workers commit suicide in the past 3 years while Work Safe B.C turns a blind eye.Work Safe B.C job is to deny 80% of seriously injured workers claim. I was told that I was in the top 20% of claims that will probably be accepted. I filed 5 reviews on my claim status in February 2007 regarding additional permanent disabilities in addition to those identified in December 7th 2006 and loosed all review decisions by July 31 2007. August 14th 2007 papers are filed at WCAT to appeal the review board decision; court is set for February 18th 2008 On January 2nd 2008 6 more PFI disabilities are added to my claim status. Left Ankle, 2 Brain Disorders, Chronic Pain x2, Left Knee. I am still complaining about lower back, left hand, ears ringing and extreme headaches since time of injury.So I fell 28 feet and basically broke the left side of my body but only half the injuries I have are related to the fall says Work Safe B.C.Doctors have all injuries on file , X rays show damage in all areas, documentation of injuries that are Denied are related to the work place injury so why do I have to fight for my LIFE again? I have to now prove with out a doubt that the injuries listed are all related to the fall.Work Safe B.C hates public relations; they do not want the public to see how they treat seriously injured workers. Today I fight Work Safe B.C and I also fight to walk up stairs or lift 20lbs.jberfelo@shaw.ca
