May I visit any physician for a permanent disability?

In order to secure the most favorable result, you should be evaluated by a physician who is versed in workers’ compensation issues. Not all doctors are knowledgeable about workers’ compensation law, and the disabilities that are applied in workers’ compensation court. Therefore, you should appear for medical evaluations requested by your attorney and by the insurance company.

You will receive written directions regarding the medical evaluations for which you are scheduled. If you fail to appear for your examination, your case may be dismissed upon motion by the insurance company.
