What is the name of your state (only U.S. law) Iowa?
I was in a tight spot making a weld for the company i work for and pulled a muscle in my neck. I worked out the rest of the day after seeing the nurse(they had me sit on my ass and do nothing the rest of the day). The following day the pain was unbearable when i woke up, so I called work and told them I was going to see a doctor, and at this point they basically told me it wasn't their problem because it was a personal injury(not work related). How the hell is it not work related? Now I have a 2k doctor bill to pay. They also game me points against my attendance for the days I missed after the incident. It was never recorded at work as a lost time injury or even a first aid. Is there anything I can do about it?
