Unhappy I Need Help????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????

I was injured on the job but the pain did not start getting bad until after I got off work. The next morning I reported the injury to my employer. She filled out all the paperwork for workman's comp and sent me to the doctor. When I talked directly to the insurance company 3 days later I was informed that the only way they would cover it was if I had reported it when it happened and had to go to the doctor right then. What ever happened to having 24 hours to report an injury? And, what am I supposed to do now? I can't afford to go to the doctor, I am still in so much pain that I end up leaving work early every day. What can I do?? Please give me some advice...

As in all insurance confrontations, YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO BADGER THEM POLITELY to pay for your injury treatment. They cannot dictate when your injury makes itself known. Most muscle injuries DON'T show up with pain until the injured area has had time for blood and muscle proteins to settle into the area. Blood infiltrates the damaged muscle and by morning you have pain. It would NOT have shown up the day before unless it was a tear. IT JUST TAKES A WHILE. Get your doctor to put that into writing and take it back to
the insurance person who is trying to deny your claim. They are wrong. You just have to keep after them.
