[QUOTE="menotyou, post: 1026283, member: 24535"] Do it the right way. If you were injured on the job, you must report it as such. In NY, they can't force you to use their doctor. Their doctor only assesses your rating of disability. Your doctor does all the diagnosing and any referrals that might be needed. You get 66% of your pay up to $650 a week, paid bi-weekly and tax-free. Get a lawyer. They are free. Having a paper trail, as vantexan suggests, is imperative. If something arises in the future because of that injury, you are covered. They pay. As they should. My injury was because of UPS' lack of hiring and insistence of using a system that is prone to producing a repetitive injury. That is their fault. Just lazy, as far as I am concerned. The guy doing the job I was injured on has a bad shoulder now. That was the first symptom I had, as well. The system is flawed. TRW would be a blessing to some, as you get your regular pay. Not a reduced award. If you get a disability rating of any type, your employer might not let you back. Be careful. If you accept worker's comp, you can't sue for damages-unless you can prove it was intentional in nature. [/QUOTE]
