So i got hurt at work struck in the jaw by items that fell off a shelf. Filed a comp claim and doctors are basically telling me its tmj and this injury set off tmj. So ill basically have jaw pain that gets progressively worse thoughout the rest of my life. Ive been waking up during the night because the pain is so bad. They just keep throwing muscle relaxers at me and telling me its my fault because im grinding my teeth or clenching my jaw at night. Im suppose to see a dentist and they will apparently give me some more options like a mouth guard to sleep with.
Some bullshit, im considering talking to an attorney if this shit job gave me lifelong pain i feel like i deserve some compensation idk. Anyone think i have any grounds to pursue a lawsuit i know this isnt necessarily the best place to post for legal advice but i just feel stuck and defeated having to deal with this pain. Im in the US.
