Denying worker's comp for injury is so obviously illegal and such a brazen civil liability that it would be shocking that a company of Tesla's size would be able to simply refuse to deal with it. This person should be able to sue the pants off of Tesla. If they haven't gotten any compensation for their injuries maybe they haven't even filed a worker's comp claim, or they don't know that's a thing, or something.

I know a few worker comp attorneys in NY and CA. They say that in general worker comp claims that are being fought take 3-5 years to win.

There's an entire sub-industry of attorneys specializing in fighting insurers/companies on worker comp cases.
