[QUOTE="35years, post: 2209456, member: 60822"] In our supplement you are paid vacation [B]AND[/B] workman's comp if you are disabled from an on the job injury and have vacation. Yes, you legally have 30 days to report an injury, but it is best to report it immediately. Cover your behind. Report it now. Tell them you didn't think it was that bad (which is true) but now you want to see the doctor. Go to your own doctor first before the UPS doctor. (it is then harder for the UPS doctor to deny it is work related, and harder to disagree with the first doctor about your inability to work.) If they try to deny the work comp claim talk to your State work comp helpline. I know of at least 4 drivers who have run into this situation. UPS tried to claim it was not work related simply because it was not reported immediately. When the insurance company tries to deny payment, they back down when you ask for a work comp hearing (and ask for double damages because of unfair denial of benefits). [/QUOTE]
