Legal Question in Workers Comp in Florida

medication contract broken

My doctor said that I broke the contract when I took a pain pill that he did not prescribe(I could not get a hold of him when I was out of meds and a friend gave me one of his because I was in extreme pain)

Can workmans comp drop my case because of it?

Your doctor can refuse to treat you if you didn't follow his rules. The WC carrier can do whatever they want. See a lawyer who is board certified in WC, and fast!

This would not cause workers' compensation to drop your case in Florida based on the facts you have stated.
