Protest rides and other events will help. But media need to hear the rider stories about their claims and the way they have been handled ,this will have a great voice ,and with a large number of hits it will get the media attention , it will have individuals people telling their story , and there must be thousand of them . so I'll will be posting mine up.
Just a little story . 6th of Feb 2009 . laid the bike down resulting in a commutated break to the wrist . Acc looked after the claim for 90 days and i was told i was fit for work. A plan to get me back to work was done and written up .
Thats where it ended. Letter came from ACC and it said you are fit for work . This week i went back to the doctor since i have only 5%
movement in my wrist due to plates and other hardware, a 60% muscle loss to the upper arm . Just been told it may take 18 months to come right if it ever will .Rang ACC and re lodged the claim , they want to know why they should reopen the case. EXPLAINED IT IS NOT JUST A 90 DAY RECOVERY AS THEIR MANUAL STATES. they now need to investigated the claim. No payment will be coming for the time it takes to complete the claim. they may not even open the claim .I pay ACC , i am entitled to good care, the job i do is in a heavy related industry and they have now put me at risk. but being self employed who cares.
Bike rego up to over 500 dollars to cover the cost of the short fall in ACC, and blaming the biker is a easy way out , and as stated above they return you to work as quick as they can, ready or not .i want my full cover for 500+ dollars not reduction in care and increase in levies.
So use the media that is available, and get downloading on youtube and just maybe the media will pick it up and run with it.
