HANFORD, Calif., Jan. 20, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- If you were injured while at work and the company refused to accept responsibility in your tragedy, would you fight for your rights or just keep quiet about it? Author Willard Roberson chose to fight for it, as he reveals his struggles to obtain temporary disability and workers' compensation benefits for his wife, who suffered and died due to a hostile work incident, in his heartrending book "Injury Denied" (now available through 1stBooks Library).
"Injury Denied" briefly describes the dramatic mental assault on Roberson's wife, a dedicated public school teacher, leading to her untimely death. What followed are many years of struggle and mentally taxing court hearings, as Roberson tired to seek justice for his wife's death. Needless to say, Roberson succeeded in his quest.
More than a personal account, "Injury Denied" is noble attempt to help many injured workers stand up against high-powered lawyers and self-serving bureaucrats in seeking justice for their injuries and sufferings. He provides very clear and concise guidelines that will help them follow up their grievances.
"(The book) has already received rave reviews from many academicians and school officials."
Simon Lakritz, educator and mayor, went on to say of "Injury Denied": "Dr. Roberson reveals a heartbreaking account of the insensitivity of school personnel and the interaction of people and events that led to the unfortunate and untimely death of his beautiful wife and mother of one child. `Injury Denied' is ample justification for injured workers to aggressively seek a favorable resolution of their injury claim."
A former elementary and secondary school teacher, high school principal, college professor, and entrepreneur, author Willard Roberson has been a liaison with numerous private and public agencies, serving adults and young adults who are unemployed or underemployed. He attended public school and college in Bakersfield, Calif. He won a Mott Fellowship Award in Community Education Training, providing him the opportunity to complete his Ph.D. at Michigan State University. Currently, Roberson lives with his wife Jannie, and son Willard II, in Hanford, Calif.
