workers comp not filed. Is this legal?

[tweety00]

LOst ok is this straight enough ....
Bills from the first month where put under the injured workers insurance ...Even though they stated to everyone that IT was W/c related ... Phone call to employer was ... we Will take care of it ........... But injured had already been off work for the regulated 4 days .... and More ...

Employer wouldnt give I/C name or case number And after calling into the w/c office They didnt know anything about it ....
Now would You say that they Planned on Taking care of employee ???
Small ma and pa place but with over 30 stores

Rofl Dogs got released !! sorry but IF they had abided by the Rules they wouldnt be in this situation lol

Hi Tweety,
There may be some confusion. I wasn't referring to your situation, but that of John Farmer. He got a cut and it appears that the employer substantially complied with his responsibilities. I'm not even certain that I suggested he shouldn't file a report for his protection.
Even a laceration can be serious with infection/nerve damage etc.
I do question whether entering into the system might be more harmful than helpful, in this instance. I just wanted more info.
I wanted to point out that while some big corporate employers are as bad as the insurers, small businesses with a few employees struggle to exist.

From Reading this Thread, it seems to Me that when Farmer went back to have the Stitches Removed, the Employer said they do not Pay for Follow-Up, so the Employee had to Pay to have the Stitches removed. That's not the Employer doing His All to Me, they left the Employee with a Bill!!?? Please Correct Me if I'm wrong, but that's the Way I Read it!!??

I checked and there are actually three posts by John Farmer on this issue.
One post said that care was paid for but not lost time benefits. I again read all of the posts by John Farmer and it is confusing. Check it out.
I wouldn't want to come off like I'm defending unscrupulous employers.
Just didn't want to see a situation spin out of control when it appeared the i/w had already gotten what the system would provide anyway.

Here is the true answer to this Post;

He states the employer would fire him if he reports the injury?

The real question here is, what makes him think the employer wont fire him anyway?
