I need more information to be able to help you. General rule is if you get hurt at work, the employer or its insurance carrier are required to provide medical treatment, temporary disability, permamnent disability and Vocational Rehabilitation. However, if you need an expensive procedure or surgery, they will send you to their own doctors to document that your injuries are either not work-related or were pre-existing or many other excuses to refuse to pay for it. I generally recommend an impartial evaluation by an AME to address all issues including need of surgery. Feel free to call me at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation about your case.
