[QUOTE="local804, post: 151847, member: 1123"] The statute of limitations for filing an injury report is ONE YEAR, however it is suggested that you file as soon as possible after the injury is sustained. The statute of limitations for an occupational illness is three years. Just a word of caution to anyone who thinks that workers' compensation is an "Easy Street" to taking time off from work. Falsely reporting and collecting on a workers' comp. claim is either a Class B or Class C felony, depending on the monetary amount you’ve received. A note to any member who has been injured on the job and has not contacted the Union; please give Fran Brunet a call so he can start a file for your case. One of his future goals is to establish a database of workers’ comp. claims for use in hazardous duty evaluations and health and safety issues. If you have any questions regarding workers' compensation, please contact Fran Brunet at the Union office by phone at (860) 953-2626. Every state has different guidlines on how accident are and should be reported. It is recomended that the accident be reported immediatly, but I believe UPS uses a 10 day window in which you have to file with them. All states are different, imo just let them know asap [/QUOTE]
