Can an attorney help me get the medical care that I need?
In most cases. Too many injured workers get referred to company doctors and clinics who are unsympathetic at best. Additionally, the insurance company will use utilization review to deny and limit medical treatment. A workers’ compensation attorney will evaluate your case and injuries and help you select an appropriate treating doctor. You cannot and should not rely on the insurance company to select the doctor for you. A workers’ compensation attorney can also enforce your right to medical care by obtaining medical reports and taking your case before a workers compensation judge, to challenge utilization review denials.
