Re: Workmans comp.

If you are denied the change of doctors and/or denied surgery, you will need to file a petition for benefits. You can do that without an attorney but it is very difficult. You should consult with a Florida Bar Board Certified workers' compensation lawyer in your area. You can find lawyers at the Florida Bar website or in the yellow pages. Good luck.
