Q: What state law would apply for Wc if I live in pa and was injured in pa but my company is out of Wisconsin and their Wc
Is out of Iowa ? They said I could pick any dr so I went with my family dr who has been tending to me they insisted I go to one of their dr from Wisconsin that they have one that travels to pa but that apt is still 300 miles away and my dr gave a report I could not travel that far that they would have to get one closer in which I would go however they are refusing to approve any more treatment or testing for my injury until i see their dr from Wisconsin 300 miles away what am I to do where do I stand help me please
A: There may be sufficient contact with both WI and PA to file a claim in either state; however, if the injury happened in PA you definitely have the right to pursue a PA claim. 300 miles for treatment is completely unreasonable. Contact a lawyer and get this in front of a workers' compensation judge as soon as possible.
