Re: workers comp
My advice to you is get a lawyer. There are many things that you do not understand about this process. It is not so simple as "give the WCB#" to the doctor and "get money". Your case may not be established? Your carrier may not have your medical reports? Your case could be controverted? But you would find that out for another 4-6 months. During that time you could be laying on your back and suffering without any money coming in. I suggest that you call an attorney ASAP.
If you are in the NY-Metro area give me a call. My website is www.kesslerlawyer.com. If you are farther north, go to the injured workers bar association and find a workers compensation attorney in your area.
