What to do about going back to work with this Lumbar pain L5-L4-L3 ,no payment in 5-6 months
A:
I think you answered your own question. If you have a serious injury at work, lawyer up. Immediately. This does not mean that every injury requires a lawyer. But if you legitimately need back surgery, then you needed a lawyer yesterday.
Before I started representing hurt workers, I used to teach insurers how to ruin someone's case before they could hire a lawyer. If you are wondering whether your employer's risk management department is going to "do right" by you, they probably won't, and you shouldn't bet your spine on it. Good luck, and I hope you feel better.
