He contended that, sometimes, he goes days without eating because he has no money and does not receive any type of support.63 3. Carcoth Padmoe Miller 64. Carcoth Padmoe Miller stated that, on June 20, 1993, while working for the company Apolo Bees on the fishing vessel Bisal owned by Krelyn Macnab, he had an accident. He pointed out that, after diving, he felt severe back pain and because he was in Jamaica at the time, he was taken to a hospital of that country where he was hospitalized for 18 days.64 He contended that he was not taken to a hyperbaric chamber.65 65. According to the medical record, Mr. Padmoe was suffering from “decompression sickness (…) with neurological sequelae (…) of his lower limbs predominantly proximal and at the pelvic girdle.”66 66. Mr. Padmoe contended that, on August 8, 1994, he filed a claim with the Office of Occupational Hygiene and Health of the city of Comayaguela, Municipality of the Central District, because of the accident. The owner of the vessel did not appear despite summons issued by the Office.67 67. On March 20, 1995, the Labor Inspector, at the request of the Occupational Hygiene and Safety Inspection Service, calculated the compensation by virtue of Article 454 of the Labor Code, indicating that Mr. Padmoe was entitled to compensation in the amount of 43,232.50 lempiras.68 68. On April 26, 1995, the General Social Security Department of Comayaguela ruled that the compensation claim filed for occupational accident was admissible and ordered the employer to pay the compensation that had been set.69 According to a statement by Mr. Padmoe, in 2012 he still had not received any compensation for the damages caused.70 69.
