[QUOTE="FUFred, post: 1174498, member: 46800"] I don’t know what the workers comp laws are by you but I'd talk to a lawyer first, a free 20 min consultation is usually offered. Fedex hates this and it covers your butt. I filed a claim awhile ago, after I was fired I thought my comp case was garbage, it wasn’t. I can tell you I have no insurance, I cannot afford the cobra payment of 500 a month to keep the medical insurance so I just planned to deal with the pain. I have permanent ligament damage, and I no longer run. I called my comp lawyer and he said still keep going to the doctor, this is comp this is covered, this happen while you work for fedex. I told the doctor who I am seeing, he said not a problem, all my treatment is covered under comp. Management will tell to work through it, deal with the pain, tell you you have to go to the doctors and you cannot go to one of your choice. This is far the truth from the truth( in the state I live it) talk to a lawyer who knows comp if thats what you plan on doing.This is your back, this is important. After I filed the paper work at fedex for my work related injury my Mgr told me I had to do this fill out this and that, another stack of papers. I said I'll take the paper work to my lawyers office and talk it over with him,.My Mgr then took the paper work back and said we can do it later, and to get better. I never filled out anything without talking it over with my lawyer. I was also told I had to go to fedex doctors first, I told Fedex, My lawyer is talking care of everything and to talk to him. I have yet to do to fedex's doctor. Don't wait around, or try to be super courier, get it taken care of ASAP. Also keep the receipts for everything, then make copies, take down your milage, parking, anything related to what you pay out of packet going back and forth to doctors, this is all reimbursable in my state, it may be in yours. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
