Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Company Doctors
- Unfortunately, “company doctors” do exist. They do not advertise that they work for the company and will often deny and take offense to such an accusation. However, they know their role. The role of the company doctor is to say that you can return to work with little or no restrictions in order to cut off the liability of the company with regard to maintenance and cure and to limit any exposure on the issues of future medical needs, pain and suffering, lost wages, and loss of earning capacity. All of these recoveries are directly tied to the doctor’s assessment of your condition. Although it is possible to offset the harm created by treating with a company doctor, you are forced into a more difficult position in trying to prove your injury and develop your case. Hiring an attorney at the onset of your claim and treatment will assure that your right to choose your own medical providers is protected. You cannot rely on the company to inform you of your rights, because company’s focus is to protect its owners, shareholders and its bottom line, not to protect you.
