Hi i was recently denied my workmans comp i disslocated my
knee. The thing is when i was in fire camp (wildland
firefighter)a few people were wrestling and i joined in
our supervisor was there and witnessed the inury to my
knee he came to me and told me to tell the boss that it
had happenned the day before out on the hill and he didnt
repot it that night it swelled up and i went to his tent
while everyone was asleep showed him because he was the
medic but he didnt want me to turn it in until morning and
stick to telling them it happened on the hill workmans
comp got the same story I had told my boss and then when
they asked the supervisor that had seen it (they dont know
he saw it still) and he had told them it had been reported
to him the night it happened and that he saw us wrestling
and told us to break it up. which never happened because
he was there and was wrestling himself with a few guys. I
dont know what to do they said they have other witnesses
that saw me wrestling but i only said what i did because
my supervisor told me to and now i have been denied. I
also would like to ask since it happened in the sight of
the supervisor and in fire camp arent they still
responsible. they dont know that he saw anything yet. i
just want to know if i come clean if it can help me out.
