Legal Question in Workers Comp in Texas
I hurt my back on the job, but when I reported it to workman's comp, I said it was from a pre existing condition and my claim was denied. They are paying for me to see a doctor. If doctor says it's a new injury can this be change? Have not worked for about 2 months without pay.
You answer is appreciated, Thank You.

YOU NEED TO CONTACT A BIG SPRING WORKERS COMPENSATION LAWYER. IF YOU CAN'T FIND ONE, TRY A WORKERS COMPENSATION LAWYER IN MIDLAND OR ABILENE.
YOU ALSO NEED TO CONTACT THE TEXAS DIVISION OF WORKERS COMPENSATION TO CONFIRM A WORKERS COMPENSATION CLAIM HAS BEEN FILED FOR YOU. THEIR NUMBER IS 800-252-3439.
DO NOT HANDLE THIS CLAIM WITHOUT A LAWYER.
It is clear the insurance company is playing "games" with you by either denying you had a work injury or sending you to a doctor who will say what the insurance company tells them to say.
You should not give a statement, give access to your medical information or sign any insurance company forms without speaking to a lawyer.
The insurance company is not your friend and is not concerned with your injuries and pain.
Their goal is to make $ by paying as little as possible on the claim. They will frustrate you by delaying payment, giving you a low offer, or denying the claim hoping you will get mad and go away.
I should know because I worked as a lawyer for insurance companies for 10 years.
You may make a claim to recover: (1) medical bills and (2) benefits for lost wages.
I would be more than happy to talk with you about the accident.
I can be reached at (214) 800-3454.
