Advising You About Your Right to Compensation

It is important to comply with all filing deadlines and requirements in a workers' compensation case. You must file a claim within thirty days of your injury or your claim may be denied. Your employer must promptly provide you a list of doctors within your insurance network. Insurance companies are now permitted to use Utilization Review. There are various time deadlines that affect your right to medical treatment. We will guide you through this maze.

You have the right to choose a doctor within your medical provider network. An insurance company will choose its own doctor. You are entitled to get second and third opinions from other doctors within the network.
