Can I see my own doctor with workers’ comp?

Not usually. An employer’s workers’ comp policy includes a selection of doctors from a given network. Injured employees will be required to visit these doctors first and have their injuries assessed. As this assessment will be the basis for any future compensation, it is vitally important that the doctor give an accurate report, and that doesn’t always happen. An experienced workers’ comp attorney can help you fight for an accurate injury report if you feel yours was inadequate.
