From Christian’s interview for the Masters of Workers’ Compensation series on ReelLawyers.com.
On-the-job back and neck injuries can keep a person from ever working again and limit their ability to do the things they love and need to do outside of work. Unfortunately, many of the doctors chosen by workers’ compensation insurance carriers are more interested in getting injured workers back to work as soon as possible than making sure their problems are actually resolved.
Our attorneys have the ability to review our clients’ medical conditions to make sure they get the help they need. We understand that many workers’ compensation doctors will designate a worker as ready to return if an MRI or CAT scan shows no clear signs of herniation or some other readily apparent injury.
Neck and back injuries can be much more subtle than that. A disk may have an annular bulge that allows the leaking of spinal fluids and causes radiculitis. Radiculitis can cause intense pain without having a corresponding readily apparent injury. Doctors may blame the patient. They may think the patient is exaggerating the pain to stay out of work.
Having a skilled attorney can help ensure that your claim successfully navigates the workers’ compensation process and that you receive the care and benefits you need.
