I have been injured at work. Do I have to attend a medical examination if requested by my employer or their insurer?
The simple answer to this question is, yes. There are, however, a number of points on this issue that require clarification. Here, Section 64(1) of the Workers' Compensation and Injury Management Act 1981 ("The Act") notes that “where a worker has given notice of an injury he shall, if so required by the employer, submit himself for examination by a medical practitioner provided and paid by the employer”.
