[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 437566, member: 484"] john in your example, you worked a whole year without any complications or pain? no calls to the doc for something to relieve the pain? in many places, if you go back to work without any issues and work that long without problems, it sounds like the injury is healed. now, on say day 400, you get on with delivering as you have for the last 13-14 months, but as you make your third delivery, you get a sharp pain in your back. exactly where you were injured before. that would be considered a new injury at ups. as far as workers comp, in many if not most states, liberty mutual will issue you a claim number to use on that injury. they will also issue you an agreement through workers comp that states they will cover your original injury for the life of the worker. take knees for example. you injure you knee and have to have the meniscus removed or trimmed. you will get a small settlement for the injury, and the agreement they will cover your medical needs on that knee should you need other surgeries or a knee replacement. i find your example somewhat far fetched in that you can return to work without a problem for more than a year, and then all of a sudden you start to have problems again, without it being caused by another event. maybe if you were a sup, but not an hourly. d [/QUOTE]
