System has flaws...

The Mercury News has a great story about the difficulties with the system. Click here>>> (archived) I'm sorry, though, I don't understand. We are supposed to feel sorry for the employer who failed to give needed medical treatment and therefore was penalized? We are supposed to feel bad that so much money has been paid out for this poor woman's destroyed back?

This story is not the norm, unless you consider the way the adjuster's behaved, delaying benefits and treatment. If too much control is put in the hands of the folks at "risk management", then the people suffering will be injured workers.
