My Employer said he would take care of this. Is that a good idea?

 

It is not a good idea. Your employer may be very reasonable or even a good person. However, you should remember that your employer has to think of the business first; he will have to look out for his own interests.

My EmployerWill your employer be looking for ways to make sure you are paid as much as possible? What do you think? You may have rights your employer is not telling you about or doesn’t even know about. After all, your employer’s main business is probably not handling workers’ compensation claims!

Your employer may offer to send you to a certain doctor who works with the company. His doctor may not be looking for all of the possible complications or long term affects from the injury. As a result there may be important medical problems that do not make it into your record. If the doctor is not a specialist in your specific type of injury, he might not be up to date on the latest research on or treatments for your injury. If you do see the company’s doctor, keep in mind that they may be trying to minimize the company’s liability, so be sure that they understand that your injury is work-related.

You do not know what you might be missing. You need to find out. You deserve a thorough examination by an independent medical professional who can objectively and completely evaluate your situation. We can help you find the right doctor to evaluate your injury. There is no charge for your free consultation with Law Offices of Richard E Sexner, LLC. Find out what your rights are.
