[QUOTE="grgrcr88, post: 834087, member: 16611"] I would consult an attorney, The local union you belong to probably has one on retainer that you could call and get a free consultation from. However I would venture to guess you are not going to get anything from workmans comp at this point. The reason you are curently on disability is because you told the company that your back hurt when you got to work. That in their minds means you did it somewhere other than UPS and they will fight you to the death to deny it as a work comp claim. If you had challened it imediately and tried to get it switched to work comp then, you may have had a chance. The fact that you have not worked for a year will be proof enough that you did not reinjure it on the job, and the fact that you did not fight the claim that it was not on the job by the company in the beginning will be proof enough that it was never a work related injury in the eyes of the system. Let this be a lesson to all you out there. [B]REPORT ALL INJURIES NO MATTER HOW SEVERE, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT GO TO THE DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY!!! yOU MAY NEED THAT REFERENCE IN THE FUTURE, YOU JUST NEVER KNOW!!![/B] Unfortunately I have seen this multiple times in my building and the employee never wins!!
