What would you have done?

[NonDeliverOtherMissed]

In our supplement you are paid vacation AND workman's comp if you are disabled from an on the job injury and have vacation.

Yes, you legally have 30 days to report an injury, but it is best to report it immediately.
Cover your behind. Report it now. Tell them you didn't think it was that bad (which is true) but now you want to see the doctor.
Go to your own doctor first before the UPS doctor. (it is then harder for the UPS doctor to deny it is work related, and harder to disagree with the first doctor about your inability to work.)
If they try to deny the work comp claim talk to your State work comp helpline.
I know of at least 4 drivers who have run into this situation. UPS tried to claim it was not work related simply because it was not reported immediately.
When the insurance company tries to deny payment, they back down when you ask for a work comp hearing (and ask for double damages because of unfair denial of benefits).

My doctor would not even see me when I told him my injury happened at work...I would think you'd wanna go to the work dr. first anyways....because remember it happened at work...go to ur family dr. and UPS has a better argument it happened outside of work

I did the same thing over a month ago stepping backwards out of my truck. Rolled my ankle, landed on my butt and hit my head. I probably should have gotten an X-ray because I think I cracked something on the inside of my heel. Too late now. The pain will eventually go away.

The butt saved you.

Better yet, go to your local non-emergent care facility. Make sure you tell them at check in that the injury is work related.

step out the pc.. Sprain(rolled?) the CRAP out of my ankle. I thought I broke it. I had to sit down in my pc and put water on my head it really shook me for some reason. But I took a little break and the pain went down a little.

Im on vacation all next week so I was like..I CAN DO IT!!! ONLY 4 MORE HOURS! no way im reporting this .Went to rite aid, bought a ankle support thing, bought some ibroproen and limped to the finish line lol. now I got a week to heal it.

picture might no do it justice but..I HATE HIDDEN DITCHES!

Years ago a guy I work with rolled his ankle. He reported it and went to a medical facility to get it looked at. They said it was a minor sprain, booted it and told him he could return to work light duty. He complained about it being sore and the swelling wouldn't go down. A week later he went to a specialist and found out he had ripped a tendon and had to have surgery. His ankle was never the same and only made it about 6 months after the surgery before finding another job and quitting. The point here is 1, he reported it and by doing so, received work men's comp, and 2, it turned out to be way more serious than he had originally thought. In the future, report it. You may have lingering effects from this injury. friend ups's accident injury numbers. If you're hurt, you're hurt.
