tree applicator. pesticides. injuried while working. fall. immediatly sort medical attention. nurse asked for jobs med. carrier. I called job and they would not give me the info. said I was not following company procedure. They say have injury or accident you should return to base immediatly. I guess they are trying to make me out to be an incompedent employee. my quota is $5400 a week. I do over $9500. Never late never miss a day and do $4000 a week more then the next guy. This is documented. looks to comp. as if I was going to get laid off assuming they asked me to return to base prior to injury. All other that I spoke to at work were never asked to return in the middle of day. Its a lie. They never radioed me. I have torn ligiments in knee. cervical sprain and lumber strain. Dr. prescrip. 3 weeks total disability. THANK YOU FOR YOU HELP

Get a lawyer, as much as I hate them, in worker comp cases, they are a must. You will win.

INT: Injury in Transit. Even if job had asked you to return, and you got injured on your way back, you'd still be covered. The point they're trying to make might be that you were doing the job without instructions, but that shouldn't be an issue. If you both have correct logs of when the injury happened, most likely it will show that you had already started whatever it is you were doing before they even radioed you back (assuming they did). Another point to watch out for is that even if the policy is to report to work (base) before hospital, emergencies must be handled different. If you were transported via ambulance or such, you had no option to report to base.

Get a lawyer. Most states require employers to provide information about the WC carrier. I suspect they may not have any. Also, look into the place where you fell. There may be an insurance policy for the location of application that can help you out ... more importantly, the policy owner there will put pressure on your employer. Just get a good employment law attorney.

You need to go to the labor board on this one. You were injured on the job- and I'll assume you were following all protocol?- and therefore they cannot withhold company med policy information (they can't anyway, even if you are just phoning to get it on an information basis for intellectual curiosity!)
But yes... failing that- it's lawyering up time... hint at a lawsuit- they usually get the idea then.

I'm gonna have to say yes. I did quit smoking, but if that were a prob while i was "still on the stick", I'd be in some trouble. Or maybe it would be THE MAN in trouble ~SP
