A: The answer is: "it depends". I would need a lot more info about what happened. But I can tell you one thing: if there's any question, the employer and insurance company are going to resolve the issue against you, so you should consider talking to an attorney. My office offers free consultations.

A: Probably so, yes, but we'd need more information. There should be a list of doctors you can see; ask for that right away and get a workers' comp attorney to help you pick a good one.
