[QUOTE="browned out, post: 741260, member: 8105"] I know. I had to fight them for about 6 weeks for a hernia. Had a what was classified as a groin injury on the preload before I became a driver. Went to the clinic, had therapy under workman's comp then back to work. A couple years later it hurt pretty bad. Liberty tried to say it did not happen on the job. I told my boss that I remembered being injured in that area years before. He responded what? that old preload injury. I told him yeah, hernia tears dont repair themselves; no more than a torn piece of paper. Had to ask for injury history report to which he replied we don't keep those. It is medical confidentiality. To which I said bull. UPS keeps reports on their reports. We used to have extra training for injury repeaters. Fought and fought and he dug em up somehow. All the way back to 1989 when I started. Liberty still wanted to fight. I had to get my medical records from Iron Mountain (medical records keeping company) and threaten legal action. I was working with restrictions while this hernia could have led to serious problems up to death in extreme cases. All this while driving company vehicles. Finally, I get the call; hi; this is liberty mutual and we are going to pick up your claim. your god d#$n right you are. As stated many times if you are a willing victim; UPS will victimize you.
