I know this isnt what you want to hear, but it's in my experience how it will probably happen.
Make sure his work files a first report to work comp. If he became disoriented, he is not going to be thinking about what he needs to do to protect his rights.
Even if Corporate is out there is someone his supervisor can contact to find out what to do. I am sure everyone at the corporate office is not out for 2 normal work days. That sounds like BS to me. I work at the Corporate office for a large company and I can promise you there is someone there. It may not be the normal WC person but there is someone who can give information. What would they do if they had someone suffer a work related fatality for goodness sake?!
I do hope and pray he is alright. Keep us posted.

P E A C E - It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
Bottom line, I do hope your boyfriend is doing better, and please let us know!!

And thank you for all the info requarding workman's comp.... he doesn't have health insurance so he was relying on what his work told him to do. Does anyone know if he is injured at work.... does workman's comp cover the hours of pay he missed at work?

Workers Comp reimburses the first 7 days after he has been out for (I think TN is 14 days maybe 21 days) it's been awhile since I was in Work comp I switched to auto a couple years ago and now in title insurance. Make sure he keeps track of any out of pocket expenses including mileage as that is reimbursable for DR's appts. or his trip to ER no mater how long he is out of work and prescriptions anything related keep receipts.
Sorry I am not more help it really is determined by his employers policy.
