[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 298197, member: 5938"] This one may be difficult since you've waited so long to claim it as comp. I can't see where going to your own doctor should mess it up if he/she said it was from the work you do. However, it probablly should have been reported to the company as such right off the bat. Even though they stress the "no injury" deal and sometimes make you feel like a leper for getting injured they DO insist that you report it as soon as you know about it. You didn't know until you went to your own doctor. I'd give this one a good fight but don't know how to tell you to do that. Play it by ear and if things don't look good call an attorney who specializes in worker's comp cases. Most will give you some guidance without charge. And a even a modest charge would be well worth it if you can claim the injury. Best of luck and don't feel ashamed for getting hurt. It happens to a great many of us in this line of work. [/QUOTE]
