Fight isnt over until we find justice. Why the government is denying her benefits after her husband suffered a grave injury at work. Who coined the term side bread . Because theres nothing side about this bread. It may look like the moon. But its the star of the show. Unleash the power of dough. Give it a pop. That sound. Like nails on a chalkboard. But listen to this family talking thats a different kind of sound. The sound of the weekend. Unleash the power of dough. Give it a pop. 50,000 and counting, how much an east bay widow is fighting for in death benefits after her husband died at work. We told you about the postal worker whose tragic death and delayed 911 call spurs a National Policy change. Now vicky nguyen is back how the government is responding. First, learning of the sudden loss of her husband. Now fighting government after the office of workers comp denied her request for benefits twicen how often does this happen . What is the burden of proof on the family when a loved one dies on the job. One day here, now gone. Reporter more than a year after losing her husband, widow still grieves. Pain made worse battling a bureaucracy for Workers Compensation to support her family. We have to survive on our own and its been a struggle every day. We miss him so much. Reporter the government denied her petition for death benefits twice though her subd sam was severely injured during his shift at the postal processing center. In august 2014, coworkers found sam lying on the ground next to a letter sorting machine. No one witnessed what happened, but sam was barely conscious, bleeding from his mouth and ears. The Investigative Unit uncovered a national Postal Service policy that advised employees to call managers and security instead of 911, they didnt call an ambulance for at least 20 minutes. Sam later died of his injuries. Seems like a wall at every turn. Reporter the attorneys represent la are. Nie. I think its a slap in the face. Reporter they say sam was hurt at work and the Postal Service has burden of proving sams injuries were not work related. The office of workers comp says theres no evidence how sam ended up on the floor, its possible he was not feeling well and decided to lie down. Sustained a motorcyclist fracture, its caused by a very high intensity head trauma which could have only come from a significant fall. Reporter larnie appealed. But a year later the government again found no evidence to prove sams injuries arose from his work activity. We think that the judge is wrong in that. Reporter we obtained this report from the coroners investigator, saying a fall, with landing on concrete could have caused the injury. Larnie and her attorneys say sams job involved climbing furniture to fix paper jams. A distance of eight feet. Is it true only in evening he was also found on his hands and knees from clearing another jam . Right. He was. And he may have suffered a fall earlier while doing that. Reporter did the Postal Service confirm to you that, as part of sams job he was supposed to climb to heights and clear this machine . They confirmed that. Thats part of his job, to do that. Just they say we didnt see it happen. Reporter the workers comp denials argue no one knows for sure what happened to sam. But her attorneys say the Postal Service is to blame for that. The coroners investigator says a manager would not allow him into the work area and became belligerent, saying he didnt have to explain, it was just Postal Police policy. Employees told nbc bay area custodians cleaned up the scene right away, even the Postal Service admitted in a report, quote, no pictures until the next morning. Without the conduct, which we believe was obstructed by the Postal Service, not allowing the coroner into the scene or police, unheard of. Reporter the usps declined an interview. They would not comment on workers comp denial. We found in the past ten years Postal Service received more workers comp cases and paid more claims than any other federal agency, nearly 11 billion in the past decade. Thats 8. 6 billion more than the next closest agency. Data shows in the same time period of the office of workers comp denied 13 of all federal Employee Compensation claims. The attorneys are baffled sams death is not among the majority of cases approved. The judge is looking for a means to deny the case rather than considering the comment sense fact of what happened. Reporter she won the fight to change the 911 policy after her husband died. Not expecting this new battle over benefits. The fight isnt over until we find jut for his death. Attorneys will appeal again. The department of labor declined our request for an interview but says its goal is to ensure people get compensation they deserve and minimize improper payments.
