Question

I recently learned a lesson about trusting a employer and the mentality of the Department of Labor and Industry here in PA. I was Employed by Fairview Township for 6 years as the Building Inspector. It was well known throughout the township that if you were injured and were calming workers compensation you had better get better quick. I was injured a couple times and they were minor enough where i healed up on my own. In had a set of stairs fall out from under me while doing a inspection and as usual I was told I was faking and when was I just going to let it go. I found out though another employee he heard if I didn't sign a release they would get rid of me. I mentioned this to other people and they looked at me and said nothing. I thought the only real damage was done to my toe and signed the release. The pain returned and I went back to there do9c who said I was fine so said forget it and walked out. Then my back hurt and I found out I had 2 herniated disc. Other things happened. ??
