Employees who are injured on the job are required to seek medical treatment from an authorized treating physician who has been approved by their employer's insurance company. If the injured worker has a disagreement with their authorized treating doctor, they are entitled to an independent medical evaluation from a physician of their choice. In most cases, the injured worker will have to pay for the cost of the independent medical evaluation. However, seeking an independent medical evaluation can be helpful if the worker does not agree with the authorized treating physician's recommendations, diagnosis or interpretation of their degree of impairment.
If you are injured on the job and it is due to the fault of another party, you may be able to file both a workers compensation lawsuit and a third party lawsuit.
