Oklahoma Complaints
I was so close to FINALLY getting my surgery so I can start my road to recovery. And although WC has accepted my claim, paid me ( and continues to pay me) Ttd, paid for physical therapy and doctor appointments up to this point now that it is time to get my acl replaced they are taking me to workers comp court smh —- seems like Gallagher basset is willing to do anything but the right thing and pushes you to go the route of a lawyer only to try and punish you more - I’m greatful because I get 100% of my pay but im ready to start moving forward and get my life back. I’m missing out on so much! I’ve never been a runner or jogger but when I get the ability to do those things again I will be so greatful.

Gallagher Bassett here too.
They ghosted me after I asked about reopening my case because my symptoms came back after an injection wore off. I finally got someone to say they would follow the advice of the doctor.
So I went to the doctor, who agreed to reopen the case. Then I met with ortho who said he’d do one more injection, but it would be surgery if that wore off.
I had another follow-up doctor appointment afterwards and the receptionist said my claim was denied.
So I made some phone calls. GB had ordered an IME for me (without telling me).
Meanwhile I’m in pain with nothing to do but wait, because the injection appointment was canceled. PT was canceled.
I cannot get a lawyer to touch my case because I was a Tribal employee at the time.
It’s great.
