Re: work release needed to go back to work?

If you need additional medical treatment and wish to have it involved in your work-comp claim, go back to the ER that treated you initially.

I would advise you that to report a work comp claim there are certain forms you are required to fill out, such as a C-1, C-4, etc.

Contact my office if you'd like to schedule a consultation regarding your matter.

Best Regards,
