On the phone and via mail, twice. After the first denial, I appealed, they denied me again.

Apparently there are 13 requirements you must meet in order to have a hernia covered by worker's comp in this state. Two of which I did not meet. I did not have immediate pain related to the hernia, I actually worked, never missing a day, for 9 months, due to a lot factors.. The other requirement was missing work, which I did not do, due to the hernia, only because of the surgery and recovery. Which apparently doesn't count.

I failed to meet their requirements.

Get a good Worker's comp attorney. From past experience they all pay attention when they know they can"t push you around anymore.

This is sound advice anytime you are dealing with the legal system always find someone to represent you, they will know things you don't
