One of the most serious mistakes you can make is assuming tha you will recieve a fair trail from an impartial judge. The proble of corrupt judges is rampant. Instead of objectivity administering true justice, judges are ruling according too their personal biases and political allegiances. It is truly said that power corrupts. Nowhere is this more evident than the judges ! Pro Se Bad Judges and Corrupt Judges are commonplace today in U.S. Courts.

However, you did take the time to write, which I appreciate and I will give you my answer. I do not believe that the State Board is "corrupt." I do not agree with every decision by every judge but, as a whole, I have been around long enough to say that the members (judges) on the State Board are honest and well intentioned. Do judges make mistakes? Yes. Is it possible that a particular judge denied your claim by asserting that you are malingering or faking your injury when, in fact, your claim is totally legitimate? Yes, that does happen. Workers compensation is a system designed to make it easier for an injured worker to obtain medical benefits and financial support while he recovers from an on-the-job injury. It is a "no fault" system in which the injured worker loses the right to pursue pain and suffering damages against his employer in exchange for not having to prove fault. In practice, workers compensation is equal to divorce law in its adversarial nature. Insurers and their lawyers fight legitimate claims to wear out and outlast claimants. At this point, the Georgia legislature limits the rights of injured workers to pursue bad faith claims against insurers. It would be interesting to compare the numbers of really frivolous claims by workers to frivolous defense strategies by employers and their insurers. With regard to pursuing a corruption charge against the Board, I think you are barking up the wrong tree. “Injured worker” – I suspect that you are surprised that I published your comment.

From the doctors point of view we do see many cases of patients who try to "pull one over" so to speak. This can create a very suspicious attitude to such cases. Usually the more visits you make and the more you persist the more likely you are to be proved right as many patients simply give up if they are not hearing what they want to hear early on.
