More details to this question:
My injury turned out to be much more serious than I anticipated.I do not know how long it will take to heal because it involves a fractured foot.I ran it over with an electric forklift with witnesses and had never received official s.o.p training on this equipment.Since it has been so long since the incident can I still file a workmans comp claim,I am receiving a great deal of intimidation from work and not sure what my rights are.What if the injury does not get better or I run out of sick leave?Any help you can give me would be appreciated.Thanks for your time

You have 3 years from date of injury to file your OWCP claim. But do not delay doing so. You may be entitled to significant OWCP compensation benefits if your claim is approved.
