Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ Compensation law involves claims for medical care and money benefits available to individuals who have been hurt on the job. The workers’ compensation insurance company may be responsible for providing you with medical care and treatment, including diagnostic tests, as well as lost wages while you recover from your injury. For example, you may be entitled to change doctors if you are not satisfied with the care you are receiving and may even have the right to select your new treating doctor if the insurance company fails to authorize a new doctor within the time required by law. You may also be entitled to a second opinion from a doctor other than the one authorized by the insurance company.

Because your entitlement to payment of money benefits by the insurance company is based upon the opinions of the doctors treating your injuries, knowing your rights to obtain different medical opinions can be very important. To ensure that you receive every benefit you are entitled to receive, you must know what benefits are available and how to obtain these benefits. If you have been hurt on the job, there is a limited amount of time for you to notify your Employer and to seek these benefits you may be entitled to receive as a result of your injury.
