[QUOTE="Jay Jay, post: 298717"] You're going to have a problem no matter what advice you get here. You fill out an accident report and state that at 10:30am on January 4, 2008 you were stepping into your package car and felt something 'give' in your knee and now it hurts and you can't walk on it - then you won't have a problem. You start talking about "months ago something happened and I hurt something and I think it's worse now, even though I can't really remember what initially happened or what the issue was" and you're going to be screwed royally. And rightly so - too many Teamsters have been milking the OJI BS like it's an entitlement. They run around building ponds or houses on the side and injure themselves doing that and limp into work and pretend they were injured on the job so someone else pay$ for it. Luckily they trip themselves up - or better yet, their GF or wife rats them out eventually - and they get fired for theft and the state prosecutes them for WC fraud. That's a good start, IMO. If you feel like you're under a microscope and being accused of lying you should walk up to your nearest Teamster co-worker and shake his/her hand - they're why you're in the position you're in today. Now you know. [/QUOTE]
