If you are injured at work, it is important that you seek medical treatment as soon as possible – not only for your own well-being, but also to get medical authority on your side. If you delay treatment, an insurance company can use that against you by trying to argue that you didn’t get hurt at work. The bottom line: the sooner you seek medical attention and make a record of your injuries and treatments, the better.
If you receive recommendations for medical treatment, follow through with the treatment. If the insurance company will not authorize certain treatment or wants you to submit to a medical exam for a second opinion, call Putnam Law Offices immediately. Frequently, this is the point in time where the insurance company is preparing to deny your injury claim.
