[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 819115, member: 18708"] I'm not sure either one of us have this right because of the lack of any detail The employee may have declined BUT they also said there WAS coersion and harrassment/intimidation involved! Did you miss that part? do you know how hard three managers vs one employee in the office can be for someone who is easily misguided or unaware of the consequences? This sounds like a fairly painful and serious struck-by injury that was not the fault of the employee. They tried their best to be a "team player" under the strong influence of management and perhaps some very serious threats, and help management cover up an injury but it only bit them in the foot, so to speak. Would the average 20 year old, including yourself, know about the rules of workplace injuries and how such things work legally? I sure didn't back then. I agree with you 100% about reporting the injury in a timely way, and not seeking immediate treatment; that was the decision and ended up being a mistake of the employee. But bottom line- You cannot place the blame on the employee when it is managements responsibility to treat every injury as a serious one and actually care about their people working for them. Mangement team should have acted and filed the report, however we know that someones MIP bonus and safety /injury/DART numbers would have been skewed and a reaming somewhere, somehow, would have been had.
