One of our favorite adjusters, who works at a large workers’ compensation carrier, related this conversation she had this month with a claimant:
Adjuster: Why didn’t you return to work?
Claimant: I had a problem inside myself at the Courthouse.
Adjuster: A problem inside yourself at the Courthouse?
Were you in jail?
Claimant: Yes, ma’am. I was in jail . . . but it wasn’t my fault.
The adjuster adds that, while taking the claimant’s statement, she heard a loud noise and asked the claimant what it was. He said “it was the toilet . . . I had to pee.”
