What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland
I had an accident at work where I lost conscience and I fell out of my chair hitting my head (nobody's fault).
An ambulance took me to the ER where they gave me an urine test, blood work, x-ray and cat scan and they released me after few hours.
The next day I was back at work and my supervisor asked me for all the paper they gave me at the hospital (test results and what else).
When I questioned his request, he said that if I didn't give the paper to him, it'd be fine but they'd forget the whole thing, close the worker comp investigation and I'd be on my own.
I felt threatened and I gave all the papers to him.
Was he allowed to request them? Could I have refused?
Thanks
