Getting the Treatment You Need
If you have been hurt at work, you want to make certain that you get the medical treatment that you need to recover from your injury. This can be a surprisingly complex issue, particularly when it comes to dealing with the workers' compensation doctors offered by employers in these situations. You may feel that you don't have any options. You may feel that you are stuck, even if you aren't getting the medical care you require.
You are not stuck. You do have options. At the law firm of Palanca & Lanzisera, our attorneys have more than a decade of experience helping people like you. We use that experience not only to help you understand your options, but to also help you choose the one that is right for you. Our services are available to injured workers in Atlanta and the surrounding parts of Georgia. If you are not getting the care you deserve, or you have been denied care outright, we will stand by your side.
Choosing a Workers' Compensation Doctor
There are a lot of rules that apply to choosing a doctor in a workers' compensation claim. Typically, the employer offers a list of doctors that you can choose from. If you don't like the doctor, you have the right to a one-time change.
Of course, since the doctor offered by the employer is under the employer's power, this is often the source of disputes. Our lawyers will look for options to see that you get treatment from a medical professional that can help you recover from your injury. If this means challenging your employer for mistakes that it made in the process, then we will do it. If it means taking the matter to a judge to make another change after a one-time change has been exhausted, that is a step we will take. We want to see that you get the care you need.
