If I Don’t Like My Doctor, Can I Make A Switch?

Are You Satisfied With Your Medical Care After A Workplace Injury?

Improper treatment, unavailability, poor service and unfair practices may have you dissatisfied with your doctor. If you are unhappy about the quality of service from the doctor treating your injury, you may be able to choose another. You will want to consult one of our experienced lawyers for advice regarding how to select alternative treatment.

Our attorneys at Rosenthal, Levy, Simon & Sosa have helped countless injured workers over the years. Our legal team provides dedicated and professional service to all of our clients. We can give you the guidance and legal advice you need to maximize your benefits and get the medical care you are entitled to. You can count on us to fight for your rights throughout the process.

How Can I Seek An Alternative Medical Specialist Or Doctor?

When you file a workers’ compensation claim, your employer’s insurer will provide a list of doctors who can oversee your medical treatment. If their doctor refers you to a specialist, you must also select a specialist on their pre-approved list. You do not have control over which doctor you see and this may lead to a dissatisfaction with service.

Workers’ compensation law allows for you to switch doctors one time. Once you decide to switch doctors you cannot switch back. The quality of your care is important to us. If you are struggling to obtain the treatment you need after sustaining an injury on the job, consult one of our lawyers.

If You Were Injured At Work, Do Not Hesitate To File A Claim

Any number of safety hazards can cause an accident at work. If you suffer an injury in an accident at work, you will want to file for workers’ compensation as soon as possible. When you file for workers’ compensation you will have to deal with your employer’s insurance company, and it may be necessary for you to hire a lawyer to communicate with the insurance company. Our attorneys have dealt with insurance companies for more than 40 years on behalf of injured workers like you.

Our legal team at Rosenthal, Levy, Simon & Sosa is bilingual, dedicated and client-driven.

How Long Do I Have To File A Worker’s Compensation Claim?

While you have up to 30 days from the date of the accident to notify your employer of your injury and file a claim, it is a good idea to take action well before this deadline. The claim process can last for months depending on the insurance company. When you file an insurance claim, the adjusters will try their best to deny you compensation, or limit it to a figure below what you are truly owed. One of our experienced attorneys can deal with the insurance people to make sure you are not denied the benefits you deserve.

It is also in the best interests of other employees for you to file as soon as possible. Reporting your injury will give cause for an investigation of how it occurred. Depending on your situation, your report may make others aware of a safety hazard that could affect other workers.
