so about 3 weeks ago i sprained my ankle at work, went to take a step and it just gave out, didn't slip or trip. work sent me to the ER because they thought it was broken ( i didnt want to go) had X-rays and what not ( no break) the next day my work sends me to there Dr he looks at it, asks me how it happened, after he looks at it he says, well seeings how you didn't trip and it just gave out, you can't get workman's comp. so i have to take my vacation because i can't walk on it very well, and my work says i cant come back till i have a note from my Dr. my Dr looks at it and says 100% this should be covered by workman's comp and i should take them to court, and i would have better off breaking it, it would have healed faster. anyway went back to work a few days ago, still stiff and it still hurts, don't have full range of motion, but I'm the only income for my family and we can't afford for me to be out of work, and short term dis doesn't pay enough for me to make my bills. the real issue I'm having now is that i just received the bill from the ER that was sent to my work then my HR sent it to me saying that it is my responsibility to pay for it, even tho they made me go. so does anyone know if there is anything i can do? the $700 from the ER sucks and i would never had gone if work hadn't mad me. any info would be great.
