EDIT: Yes I misread, after 10 years the statute of limitations has probably come and past, so there is most likely not much she can do. The best advice would be to have her contact a lawyer, possibly one that can provide a free consultation via phone or in person to find out for sure.

Unfortunately there is probably a statute of limitations problem. The limitations period for fraud — which this may be, since she reported it — is usually six years. It would be hard to argue that the limitation was tolled by her being lulled (technical terms) for 10 years.

That’s why labor unions are so important. She would never have been allowed not to seek medical care. And if she did seek such care, there may be a malpractice case — and its limitations period would be different (but doubtless also past — still, worth checking).

My back was hurt when a wooden chair collapsed under me in a Holiday Inn last year. Their insurance company is about to reimburse me for nearly $10,000 in medical expenses and I’m seeking reimbursement for three months in bed and pain for the rest of my life. I would have laughed (if the pain would have let me) at anyone telling me not to pursue it. (I have medical insurance, but that has deductibles and co-pay.)

P.S. My daughter went to the hotel and photographed the chair a week later. They’d actually glued the clean break of the wooden leg where it meets the seat! It would be a good punitive damages case if I could get it in a USA court. Stupid hotel. Cheap chair. Here’s the photo: http://tinyurl.com/y5wp36 (It isn’t obvious in the picture but the leg broke clean off and they just glued the jagged parts together with white wood glue.)
