[QUOTE="35years, post: 2714410, member: 60822"] Make sure a first report of injury report was filed. Request a copy, they are legally obligated to give you one. Keep copies of all doctor's orders. Immediately call your State workman's comp helpline. Explain your entire situation. They may be very helpful. I doubt this is just a "misunderstanding". Insurance companies will try every trick in the book to delay paying you. Most states have laws requiring them to start making payments within a certain number of days. If they don't, you may (depending on the State) be entitled to a hearing and request double damages. Ask Liberty Mutual for the name of the person handling your claim. If you end up getting an lawyer (State hotline may be able to handle this), ask if your local Teamsters union has one on retainer that you can consult. Make sure you have a Steward present and once again reiterate to your Center Manager that you never turned down TAW. [/QUOTE]
