Branch County, MI Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

There are two notice or limitation provisions that apply to a Worker's Comp claim. (1) You have to provide notice of the injury to your employer within 90 days of the injury, it sounds like you have done that. There are several ways this 90 day period can be extended. (2) A claim regarding the injury must be made within 2 years of the date of the injury. There are also several ways this two year period can be extended or calculated. For example, you can still make a claim 2 years from the date the injury manifests itself, which may apply to your situation if you are actually more than two years over the original injury date. Keep in mind comp cases only cover your medical expenses and wage loss, if you haven't paid medical expenses or lost time/money at work, you likely don't have a claim at this point anyway. If there is a legitimate chance you will not be able to work in the future, and the injury is actually work-related, you should talk to a good comp lawyer.

See an attorney and seek to prevent being charged with the hit and run which wil probably require you to contact the car owner and make a claim to cover their damages.
