if you did not record the accident you may as well have tripped over your cat at home.


Wrong, you have 30 days to report it.

I had a friend fall at work and go see her regular ortho Doc. As soon as she mentioned it happened at work, he pretty much ran her arse out of his office. He refuses to see WC patients.

She tried to tell him that she was not going to file WC, just use her health insurance, but he heard "fell at work" and that was it.

Your mileage may vary.

mmm-hmmmm...
that and 350 bucks will get you an hour at the lawyers office

the law is on your side but what I'm telling you is that at a 5 person firm you are just about guaranteeing yourself a spot at unemployment. if the job is seasonal or temporary then fine, file WC and go down that road. if it's a career then work something out with your employer

if you really are injured than your employer is bound to make you whole. But you didn't record the accident and I'm guessing your company has a policy about that. if you wind up costing your employer money instead of making him money then I think you know what's gonna happen. look at it from his point of view and work with him if he's willing to do so
