I have been out for two different repetitive motion injuries. Herniated discs in the neck and carpal tunnel on both hands. Liberty didn't even flinch at paying me. You get a check every two weeks, Dilli.
We get 66% of your pay at the time of the injury. Your award, as they call it, doesn't change. It does not go up as your pay increases at UPS. In NY, they have changed it to where you gat up to $650 a week-bi-weekly paid. When I went out, the top award was $500. Just wait, Dilli. Here, after a time, they send you to their 'doctor' who assesses your rating of disability. And, they will do this, eventually. They reduce your pay according to that rating, no matter what your doctor says. Then, you have to go to court to get your money back. Hire a good attorney. Interview them. Don't let them take more than 10%. Make them set the amount they get for doing things. They will take some of the money you get back from court. Mine only got $200 out of the $10,000 he got back for me. He gets paid by the court/Liberty, not you. The only money he can take is what you agree to. That part is important. No one thinks of that stuff beforehand. PM me, if you need more info. Having been on this merry-go-round since 12.14.07, I have learned a lot. The ins co's and UPS use our lack of knowledge against us.
Do not forget, that you can get a second opinion(at least in NY we can) at their expense. Sometimes that is a good ting when going to court to force something like an MRI. Usually, the court sides with your doctor, but not always. Be very careful what you say to their doctor.
