I am genuinely sorry to hear about your injury.

no it was me verses the trainer, but i had to meet with mike lakow because at 1st the trainer claimed that he didnt know who i was, but then i showed lakow a check stub from the trainer, then the trainer claimed that he fired me the day before the accident, and as far as racing goes the racing secretary is the most powerful person at the race track. he started yelling at me telling me that i was just trying to get some money, keep in mind im setting there with my arm in a sling, i said do you want me to take the bandage off and show you? it was all about 1 thing, they dont want anyone to get workers comp benefits no matter what and EVERY workers comp claim filed in ny gets fought.
