[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 324159, member: 484"] Maybe to you it is obvious, but not to UPS. You made several serious mistakes, and it might be you shot yourself in the foot. The minute you saw your own doctor instead of the company quack, it really hurt your chances of filing workers comp. And the sup telling you you were too late to file on monday was a bit of a crock. But you should have insisted to see the company doctor anyway. Back injuries do and can happen all at once. But they can also be the result of many years of abuse, or even an issue that you have had since birth, but it took the UPS job to bring it out to where it is an issue. And I have seen people go home friday, injure themselves over the weekend, come in monday and claim it happened on friday. Even seen one get fired for dishonesty on a claim like that. It seems he was documented playing football for several hours on that sunday and did not have any sign of a crippling injury then, but could not work? Anyway, back to your case, see a good lawyer. He can tell you what your legal options are. In my state you would be screwed. IT might be different where you are. Then follow exactly what he/she tells you to do. How you feel is only important to you, not any one else. And if UPS can walk on this, you bet they will. d [/QUOTE]
