[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 519383, member: 13254"] People, let these stories be a lesson for us all. When (not if) you are injured on the job, no matter how severe or minor it seems at the time, demand they call it in to the insurance company that day/night. Liberty Mutual's report line is open 24/7 for a reason. None of this taking a few days off to "see if it gets better" crap. Management is just trying to keep their reported injury numbers down, it has absolutely nothing to do with YOUR well being. This is truly one game you can not afford to play with them. What seems to be a mild muscle strain can easily turn into a career end injury and between UPS and Liberty Mutual you have two innities that are doing their dead level best to deny you the treatment you deserve simply to save money. Even comapny policy states that you have to call them in the day of the injury, if a supervisor or manager tries to get you to "wait a few days" are hoping it isn't bad enough to require treatment and they can hide your injury from OHSA and save money. The company's concern for you stops when it does not illeffect them. I would be willing to bet a month's of pay checks there is not one Doctor working in our centers as a supervisor/manager, don't let them make you diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
