[QUOTE="Johney, post: 324544, member: 10995"] Look people workers comp laws vary from state to state. The general concensas(sp?) here(and what all should do) is do not go see your own DR and DON'T.If you think you were hurt on the job and if you were, report it. Come on people do you really need to seek out an ER visit over the weekend? Nothing short of a broken limb would justify that as a trip to the ER for a on the job injury, and THAT WOULD'VE BEEN REPORTED! Feel a pain at work report it even if not called in that day it's still reported. Do not let your sup intimadate you period. Most back problems(although I'm no DR) are pulled muscles or worst case scenario hernated disc's. I've had both and yes they are painful but in no means justified a trip to the ER. Let me clarify that I mean after leaving work and going home. If you leave work Friday and it hurts all weekend tell them Monday morning you need to seek medical attention for an on the job injury. If you are givin even a minute of grief consult an attorney. 9 times out of 10 if you have done everthing by the book you will not need the assistance of an attorney as I believe(my opinion only)that UPS knows they most likely will lose the case and pay big time but, if vary from that line you may be in for a fight that you may or may not win.
