Letter to the editor: WSI is comitted to helping workers in their time of need

Newman Power wrote a letter on June 3 regarding Workforce Safety and Insurance and I would like to respond. I recognize that when workers are injured on the job, it disrupts their lives and brings added stress to them and their families. I want to assure the citizens of our state that the staff at WSI is committed to help those who are hurt on the job to get back to work as quickly and safely as possible.

Letter to the editor: North Dakota workers deserve better from WSI

Since then, I’ve developed Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, an incurable condition that causes constant, excruciating pain. Workforce Safety & Insurance pretended my condition was resolved and cut off my benefits. It didn’t resolve, and it doesn’t look like it ever will.
