Legal Question in Workers Comp in Michigan

December 2011.

I worked for an electrical power company for 20 years. There were a lot of stairs, inclined surfaces, and fixed vertical ladders to climb and transcend over. There was valves of all description from one half inch to five feet.

It was on one of those large valves in 2002 standing on a slippery surface, pulling to turn a stuck valve, that I had a strong pain in hip, my doctor said that my hip was bad and had to be replaced.

In February 2010, I had a total hip replacement, for some reason it did not heal right, and the doctor issued permanent work restrictions.

My boss said that The Company could not accommodate these work restrictions, and I could not return to work until they were lifted.

In September 2010, my sick leave benefits run out, to keep my health insurance I was forced to retire at a very reduced pension.

How long do I have to file a workman comp claim?
