[QUOTE="DieOnMyFeet, post: 3447510, member: 71174"] Hey guys, pretty sure I pulled a collarbone/rib connecting tendon without realizing it. Let my supervisor know monday night, he then made me talk to my manager and the shift manager. They didnt punk me as hard as I thought but asked me so many questions that by the time my shift manager asked "Do you want to file an injury report?' I just said no because it sounded like a big deal, and they had been asking me questions for 10 minutes straight when all I wanted to begin with was to get some help with a roller set and go the :censored: home. After working tuesday (yesterday) I noticed today that my problems getting worse and I cant keep loading putting most of the weight on my left arm/shoulder. Here's where my problems begin, if Im right Ill be out of work for a week or two (maybe more) and I don't know jack about workmans comp or if Ill be eligible. I can probably get diagnosed without an xray but if I get one its like 100 dollars, and I dont have insurance, and if I dont get workmans comp I dont wanna give up a paycheck (copay, the sling theyll probably put me in and whatever other bull:censored: they charge me with) just to have proof that Im not fit for work. From my understanding I need to make an injury report to start all this, but is it too late for that? Can I just walk in and file one two days later even if all my superiors know whats going on with me? I figure going in early, doing that and then asking for a UPS/Union doctor's name/location of practice would be the best way to go. I have an anxiety disorder so Im probably overthinking all of this but any advice or guidance would be appreciated, Im new to unions and employer liability and all that. [/QUOTE]
