Reason for consulting an attorney early
Many times the workers compensation insurance company does not have your best interest in mind. If you do not trust the doctor to whom they have referred you, this office can change the primary treating physician.
If you are not receiving temporary disability or medical treatment because the insurance has not completed their discovery, this office may be able to obtain medical treatment and force them to pay you the benefits to which you are entitled or find alternative sources of income, such as State disability (SDI).
If the insurance company has assigned a nurse care manager to follow you to each doctor's appointment and intrude on your physician/patient privacy, this can be stopped.
If you are involved in an auto accident and unsure whether to file an action against the other driver or file for workers compensation benefits, we can help.
If you simply are overwhelmed with the options available to you and do not know what to do, make an appointment to educate yourself about your rights and obligations as an injured worker.
