[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 2338565, member: 42270"] Any injury that prevents you from being able to support yourself or your family is serious. File an injury report immediately in writing and demand to go to the company doctor. You'll have to see their doctor anyway to begin the comp process. I'm not a lawyer but live in a state with terrible workman's comp laws; the only stuff that isn't really covered are reptitive motion injuries in certain circumstances. If you can trace the injury to a SPECIFIC movement or work action, then it's likely a valid claim. Either way, you need to file a report ASAP regardless of what your supervisor may say in order to protect yourself. [/QUOTE]
