Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
Which doctor should i attend ?
I have an attorney for my case but i dont know to which doctor to see the company's doc. or the attorney's doc . since i was told by attorneys staff not to attend to compannys doc but the attorneys staff is not returning my phone calls to check up on me to schedule to see an ortho. so therefore i decided to see companys ortho since my condition was getting worse . Companys ortho said i need crvical spine surgery because i have a 4mm disk displacement and a severe spinal stenosis. i also have other problems in my lumbar area and lower back i took my own m.r.i films to be seen i also have a continuous trauma from my two previous injuries. my concern is that tmy lawyers staff is not returning my calls so i can find out about the doc. situation

Re: Which doctor should i attend ?
Well, we always advise clients to see unbiased and injured-worker-oriented doctors. If you already have gone to an insurance company's doctor and that doctor determined that you need surgery, I would not second guess that. But you need to confirm all of these with your attorney. If your attorney does not return phone calls, you may always change attorneys. If you need representation , feel free to call us 213.3888.7070.
