live in Arkansa was working in Ky and my employer is based out
of Tx.
I was cleaning up at the end of the night and the ballast I was throwing away snagged or got hung up on something so instead of going in dumpster felll short and landed on my hand which resulted in an open fracture of the lefft ring
finger.
I told my supervisor at the door that I had hurt my
finger and was going to er to get stiches.
At hospital found out there was
exposed bone , was admitted , and had surgery the next day.
I was released the that evening.
My boss called later that evening and said have to have hosp drug test, I had already been released was
very heavily medicated in alot of pain and assumed after alll
the blood work, that what ever needed to be done was. . A few
days later when asking what ortho dr to go to and how to handle
billing my boss told me since I didnt go back to hosp and take
drug test My employer will not file work comp and that I couldnt
not file because I had not tested withing xx amount of time
after injury. So now im left with lots of hospital bills and no
dr will see me and i cant pay them and im off work for a month.
