Medical Treatment, under workers compensation, has
many complex disability guidelines that are best interpreted by a job injury
lawyer. In Orange County, California in 1997, more than 20 percent of the time,
injured workers had to sue to obtain workers compensation disability benefits.
This rate doubled since 1985 and was more than four times the national average.
Orange County, California workers compensation State audits show that in 20% of
these disability cases, the insurer did not properly notify workers of benefits,
and in one of every six cases disabled workers were not paid all the money they
were owed.
Doctors and other health care professionals find that their treatment
recommendations have been second-guessed by claims adjusters. Injured workers
are told that they cannot go to the physician of their choice. Everyone despairs
over the paperwork.
YOUR RIGHTS:
- You have a right to a caring and professional
physician of your choice; and
