If you are injured at work, the law states that your employer’s workers’ comp insurance must give you 3 benefits: 1) Payment for all medical treatment; 2) Checks in the mail if a doctor takes your off work or if a doctor gives you restrictions and your employer can’t accommodate those restrictions; and 3) A compensation for having been injured which is given once you have completed your medical treatment. Most workers’ comp insurance companies try to play games and send you to their doctor and give you the run around about paying the checks, do NOT let them. Remember, you are not suing your employer, you are opening a claim with the workers’ comp insurance company. You have the right to choose which doctor treats you. Our firm works with several doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and surgeons all over Chicagoland.
