Q: Do I need an attorney? Suffered TBI at work from stuck door hitting me in head, management knew about door problem.
July 2017 suffered TBI from door to head at work, now I have constant headaches and convergence problems with my right eye, seeing same therapist for 12 visits making progress but now insurance company wants me to change therapist without treating physician being ok with it, can they do that, it’s causing me greater stress and headaches now. I feel I’m being pushed around, do I need an attorney?
A: The medical care is supposed to be directed by your treating physician and not by the insurance company. You should consult an experienced workers compensation lawyer about this problem with the insurance company.
