UNDERSTANDING YOUR RIGHTS TO RECEIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT AND TO CHOOSE A DOCTOR
In California, under Workers' Compensation laws, you have the right to effective medical treatment, which means that your primary doctor must choose a treatment that can cure and relieve your work injury. These treatments are established under a series of guidelines that detail, among other things, which treatments are effective for certain injuries, as well as when the treatment should be given and for how long.
If you are not receiving the appropriate medical treatment, or if your employer's doctor refuses to give you treatment, you should seek help from an experienced Workers' Compensation lawyer.
Additionally, under Workers' Compensation laws, a previous injury does not affect your right to receive medical treatment. If your job has caused your previous injury to reappear, you are still entitled to Workers' Compensation.
In California, your employer may choose a doctor to treat you immediately after the injury; unless you have notified your employer in writing that you have a personal physician. Many employers and insurance companies have a network of providers. However, you have the right to seek treatment from a doctor of your choice after 30 days.
For questions regarding medical treatment and alternative doctors, or if you feel that you are being denied medical treatment or that you are not being treated according to a proven treatment plan, seek legal help from a lawyer experienced in Workers' Compensation law.
