Q: My previous employer stop paying workers comp and refuse to take my attorneys calls? I’ve lied to get treatment.
My original orthopedic surgeon retired and my attorney and myself have tirelessly tried to contact my previous employers workers comp to arrange payment for a new care taker, but they never return any of our calls. My last visit to orthopedic surgeon was February of 2014. I have seen other doctors and lied about my injuries because of fear my insurance would not cover it since they were not responsible. I’m tired of the headaches and neck pain and my attorney seem to have given up trying. What options if any do I have. I lost 15% use of my left hand. At least that is what they agreed to.
A: Most states have things an attorney can do to get treatment. Problem now is showing your treatment you lied about is related. Sit down with your attorney, review what can be done.
