Treatment after a work injury.
If, before your injury, you gave your employer written notice of the name and address of your personal physician, you can go to that physician for treatment immediately after an injury.
If you did not notify your employer about your physician, your employer is responsible for arranging for your treatment. If your employer fails to refer you to a doctor after being notified of your injury, you may choose your own doctor.
