I work in a grocery store. We were processing a truck. My coworkers knocked a box down & didn’t pick it up. I was carrying something & came around the corner of our counter & tripped on the box.
I made a report even though I didn’t think it was a big deal. My hip hurts now when I bend down, put weight on it, or squat. I fell on the side of my leg.
Corporate was there today. They asked about what happened. My boss had this little paper & it asked if I had seeped medical attention yet. She told me if I said no that they wouldn’t cover me. So I asked if I should go now just in case
She looks at me & says “well I don’t want you to go now, we need you here” and I just kind of looked at her. She said to let the store director decided…
So I went to him while he was talking to a couple corporate people. He steps away & talks to me. Tells me something about finding out when they close & he’s gonna print up the paper to go to concentra (small clinc for work incidents) I go back to my boss & tell her. She tells me to give him a couple hours. So I do. I wait. It hurts on & off I need to go just in case. I ask a MANAGER at the front if she knows where the store director is, I need the form. She asked me what time I get off, she doesn’t know where he is. I told her I need to go now bc they close at 5. She rolls her eyes at me and just kind of walks off.
I go to the doctor, they take x rays, there’s something weird in the X-ray on my pelvic bone. A small hole in the actually bone. I tell my boss & she tells me I need to call the store director & tel him I’m not closing… also to talk to him about I’m not coming back til I do a follow up with the doctor on Saturday about the X-ray
