[QUOTE="Casey, post: 298749, member: 14087"] I had an injury that I failed to report until 2 months after it happened and was able to beat UPS in court. I injured myself delivering packages and tried to self medicate by using ice and a brace and praying that after Christmas some rest would heal but it didn't. I reported injury 2 months later and was told I could not fill out accident report because I failed to report it in a timely manner. I got a work-comp lawyer and was able to get it fixed. I won on the basis that my injury was a ongoing and continuing injury as a result of my repetitive movements. Yes legally you only have 10 days to fill out accident report unless you can prove other circumstances which will give you alot more time to report injury. My advice would be to try to fill out accident report ASAP and then get a work comp lawyer. It took me a year to win my work comp case, but it can be done. [/QUOTE]
