Denied Surgery

I was injured at work july 07. Was sent to an urgent care and given pills and sent on my way. I was not happy with the facility and never went back. Roughly a year after, I went to the dr. on my own. refered to nuero hurt my back again at work. Then realized that the injury is probably related to original injury. Going through numerous dr appts. Zurich now has denied, claiming that since my insurance denied i am not intitled to benefits. Yes my ins denied, it was after that when i hurt myself again, and realized the injuries were related. Now the adjuster just acted rude and said its my problem now.. What shoud i do?

You need to retain an experienced worker's compensation attorney who knows how to deal with situation like yours. You need to be refered to an outside of MPN doctor and if you need to be taken off work, this doctor will certify you for temporary disability benefits through State Disability Insurance (SDI) which is handled by EDD offices.
