Why a Lawyer Might Tell You NOT to File a Claim | Local House — S3 E1

Season 3 is here. Terry Crouppen, Andy Crouppen, and Ed Herman kick things off at Local House Restaurant & Bar in Arnold, Missouri — and the conversation goes everywhere.

In this episode, the guys break down one of the most misunderstood situations in workers' compensation: what it really means when your employer tells you not to file a claim, and why following that advice can cost you everything. They also reveal which job is more dangerous than most people realize, and what injured workers almost never find out until it's too late.

Away from the law, the three lawyers debate whether they could launch something into space for $10,000, revisit the Red Bull space jump, and settle the Hantavirus vs. Ebola question once and for all. Ed also shares the time he was actually hurt on the job — at the Division of Workers' Comp. And the guys weigh in on Beyoncé going country.
