I did go to the hospital everything was reported and I was taken off work. In order to go back the doctor put restrictions on what I could and could not do. Of course they wouldn't accomadate me I was told they didn't have light duty. I also had an attorney in which I had to find another because he wasn't I would say didn't have enough confidence or just didn't want to handle the case. I finally found another, but it's been appeal after appeal. In fact i got papers today for a hearing to see if I can get approved for the surgery I need. The only things were ever approved were the minor things like nerve blocks when I say minor I mean the operation I needed would never be approved so the doctor has tried to keep me has comfortable as he could. Wish me luck aand keep me in your prayers. I hope this will be the final hearing and in hope that it's ruled in my favor.

Yvonne, I too have damaged disks so I feel your pain, literally. However, why would you wait this long to do something? I wouldn't have waited 6 days, much less 6 years. As soon as you were injured you should have gone to the hospital and reported it as an on the job injury. You can go anywhere you choose for your initial emergency treatment. I would have immediately went out and found a workmans comp lawyer to get the ball rolling. You can still do it, but the case will be much more difficult now. You ARE entitled to be compensated for an on the job injury and subsequent disability. Good luck

Yvonne, the settlement check you got had nothing to do with your workers comp injury. You should have spent that money as you saw fit. You need to contact the company's HR department to find out who handles their workers compensation programs, get a telephone # and address, and contact those people for assistance in getting your back fixed. If you have no luck, contact the Ohio State Department of Workers Compensation...look in the blue pages of the phone book or google it online. Ask for help from them. Good luck!
