[QUOTE="FracusBrown, post: 814614, member: 29360"] Workers comp covers work related injury and illnesses. There does not need to be a specific event identified. The sup or manager cannot deny the reporting of a work related injury or illness. Once the injury or illness is reported, the medical advisors at liberty mutual evaluate the claim. Only a doctor or a trained medical professional can determine weather the injury or illness is work related. There have been many management people disciplined or terminated for failing to report injuries/illnesses. The sup or manager is treading on thin ice. Depending upon the state, the regulations vary. In my area, the mere mention of work during a Dr visit leads to the injury or illness being listed as work related and therefor a comp claim. [/QUOTE]
