Four Key Points On Medical Evaluation For Injured Workers

As your Legal Crusader, I want you to know about these things.

Most people intuitively know that medical evaluation is important after a worker’s comp injury.

But that’s not where it ends…

You should know a little more than that if you’ve been injured on the job.

So what do you need to know about medical evaluation for your worker’s compensation injury? Here are a few quick tips.

Timely Medical Evaluation

A timely medical evaluation is important.

But, what is CRUCIAL is getting the RIGHT doctor.

If you end up with an insurance company doctor, you are going to have lots of problems.

This is why your choice of a doctor is absolutely crucial!

You only get ONE choice for a doctor.

Once you make that choice, it is over and you are stuck with the doctor.

So, how do you make the choice?

You make it by signing something.

Usually, your employer will put something in front of you and say something such as, “Sign this to get your medical treatment.”

You sign it and you’ve chosen and insurance company doctor.

This is similar to taking a shotgun and blowing your own foot off.

Don’t do it.

Even if you don’t want to hire me, I’ll still tell you who the fair doctors are, just call me BEFORE you sign something choosing a doctor.

Now here’s the important part:

Quick medical review doesn’t mean they just run to the first doctor!

Specifically, it doesn’t mean that you should take a doctor recommendation from an insurance company.

You might not think about it right away, but someone might have a conflict of interest in sending you to one doctor or the other.

You have to get a doctor who is not bought and paid for by the insurance companies

I can help you to make sure that happens.

It’s also important to know the context of the injury.

Companies like to wriggle out of worker’s comp claims by contending that the injury didn’t happen at work.

They like to look at issues like whether the work injury was something that happened on-site.

But, when you know the context and how these claims are usually handled, you can respond to these concerns more easily, and more capably.
