First and foremost, you have the right to seek medical treatment at the
hospital and by the practitioner of your choosing. Your employer cannot
legally force you to use a doctor or go to a hospital that they choose
for you. You also have the right to fully recover until you’re cleared
by your doctor to return to work. Your employer may try to get you to
return sooner. If you do not feel well enough to return, communicate this
to your doctor and hold your ground. You also have the right to refuse
to sign anything or give any official statements about the chopper accident
and your injuries unless you have your attorney present. You need to look
out for your own interests, and asserting these rights will help ensure this.
