I was injured on the job two years ago. The injury required an ankle fusion surgery. My ankle did not heal back enough for me to be 100% to return to work. I can walk but for no longer than twenty minutes at a time. My workmans comp is suspended and I cannot return back to work. Two years ago when I was injured I reported my injury within ten minutes. Supervisors failed to complete the required task of doing an injury report and continued to work me even after having knowledge of my injury. Eventually I could not perform my duties as a driver and had to get medical attention from my own doctor and was threatened with disciplinary action for insubordination for not being able to come to work due to my ankle injury that had progressively worsened after the initial injury date which by this time had been almost two weeks. This has been a long and drawn out process and I had every intention of getting back to work. Now my options are next to none. If anybody out there has any input on what the formalities are in dealing with this situation their input would be greatly appreciated. I am in my late thirties and have been an employee for going on eight years. Thanks
