From the Caspar Star-Tribune:
It usually starts with a slip and a fall, or a limb that gets crushed or smashed. For Corey Johnston of Thermopolis, it was a 10-pound bolt that fell on his head in April 2000.
Almost as urgent as immediate medical treatment was the arduous process of filing and maintaining a claim with the Wyoming Workers’ Compensation Division.
During recovery from his head, neck and back injuries, Johnston received a temporary total disability benefit, calculated at two-thirds of Wyoming’s average monthly wage. But the payment stopped when he failed to file a monthly form to the division.
