Q: I still havent returned to work and workmans comp wants to speak to me at work is this normal
Got hurt on job and waiting to see neurologist but its been two weeks and still no appointment and now workmans comp wants to speak to me at work
A:
Generally, if you have filed a claim, and are receiving temp disability pay, then you should not speak with your employer. However, I presume you do not have a lawyer at this point. Sometimes the insurance nurse or caseworker may want to speak with you about your injury before determining a referral specialist. You have a right to pick from a panel of three physicians.
I would be glad discuss your case with you, my practice is about 50% workers' compensation claims. Ingram Law LLC 205-335-2640
