Answer: You may wish to contact an attorney regarding your question. As the injury occurred on Sept. 2012, there may be a statute of limitations to where you can or cannot file a claim. You may wish to speak with an employment attorney regarding what you can do. You may want to contact the EEOC http://www.eeoc.gov/field/phoenix/timeliness.cfm, however, they have a timeline of 180 days from the date of occurrence, so they may not be able to assist you.
