Re: workman's comp appeal hearing coming soon

Without knowing more of the facts concerning your claim and the procedural road that your case has followed thus far, there's no possible way to assess the insurance carrier's basis for their appeal.

Bring your papers to court and be prepared to

explain the situation from your perspective---

and hope for the best.(Give particular emphasis to the fact that the insurance carrier first agreed to pay for your MRI, and then did an about face and reneged on their promise, which has caused you a great deal of difficulty. Sounds like bad faith dealing to me, something that insurance companies never want to be found liable for by a court.)
