What is the name of your state? What is the name of your state?TX
I wont go into the whole back story, but I developed somenerve inflamation due to repetive motion at my job. The onsite doctor restricted me to no use of right arm PERIOD. Well the definition of no usage got lost in translation somehow and i was assigned to light duty. The first job caused even more pain. the second job was okay, but my girlfriend got a hernia(we work together) and they did not want us working together. They put me back to work, my arm could not handle it, so they moved me one more time to picking up trash with a claw thing. Now Im not going to whine about how having to use my arm lightly has stalled any healing, and how i think im getting worst but anywho
Friday i asked about the status of my workers comp, which they told me they filed for about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Well come to find out, the safety guy never filed-Now hes telling me to my face he never told me he did. That day i asked him if i needed to file myself, he told me he already did. Now things have come to a point where im going to need to get an MRI and some other test, and possibly miss work, or undergo other treatment. How am I going to do that if its too late to file workers comp? Not to mention im missing 20 hours a week in over time because they have a no over time rule for light duty employees. Isnt that illegal by the way? in 2009 didnt american airlines get sued for the same thing because it violated the ADA based of what the EEOC ruled?
