Job Injury      Federal Express 

Job Injury Federal Express: If you work for Fed Ex, chances are you have suffered a job injury, probably several times.

Federal Express workers and their families know that the job required by Fed Ex is a heavy, hot, strenuous job, and suffering injuries is part of the job.  For many Fed Ex employees, immediately following their job injury, the worker did not file an accident report with his employer- as pulled muscles, minor burns and sprains are part of the job.  Only after a day or two (or weeks) of trying to deal with a pain that simply will not go away do they report their job injury.  At this point you may have been informed that you have waited too long to report/give notice of a job injury and therefore they are not entitled to any workers’ compensation benefits.  This is rarely true.

In Alabama, a worker has up to 90 days in which to inform his employer about a job injury, and an oral report is just as valid a notice means as a detailed written report.  Company policy cannot override law, so if your employer states that “…company policy mandates that all workers’ compensation injuries be reported within 2 days of the occurrence of said injury and since you did not do so you are not eligible for workers’ compensation benefits ” (which many injured workers have called to tell us over the years)-they are misinformed about Alabama’s Workers’ Compensation laws and they or their workers’ compensation insurance carrier are still responsible for your medical care and compensation for any permanent physical impairment.  Regardless, it is always best to report a job injury as soon as possible.
