A: YES. You have rights which should be protected, and the insurance company, and often times the employer, are looking for ways to cease your benefits, and always on the lookout for something to use to deny benefits, even surveillance of you routinely. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by having a work comp lawyer help you. They/we work on contingency fee and also are paid when we catch the insurance company not providing benefits in a timely manner. Before you have surgery consult a work comp lawyer.

A: You certainly should consult with a local worker's compensation attorney. The injuries appear to be serious in that surgery is recommended. Worker's compensation laws are a bit complicated and you should be informed of your respective rights and recommended courses of action. Good luck.
