Is there any way for me to get treatment for a work injury when worker comp insurance is refusing in Oklahoma?
My boss told CompSource I didn’t get hurt at work. She is rallying “witnesses” to say that I did not. These people will lie to keep their job. Meanwhle I am in so much pain and about to loose my home. The doctor I was sent to by her had ordered tests and therapy but the insurance carrier will not authorize anything. I have an attorney. I have no health insurance. As an RN, I think this is flagrant neglect, but I think it may be legal. The attorney says it could take weeks, even months before I will be able to be treated. In the meanwhile, I worry about the potential for more damage since there are only theories about my injuries due to the inability to do further testing. Is this what really happens to an honest, hardworking individual who gets hurt on the job? Is there any recourse I can take? If this is allowed to happen, it is very scarry!
You don’t need “free” legal advice…you HAVE an attorney. Follow
the advice given there. There are ways to dispute denials of
benefits in WC…your atty will file those requests for hearings.
Your employer is not the one who makes the decisions on your
claim…the IC Claims Adjuster is there for that. WC laws are state
specific, go to your state web site and learn what benefits are
available, and how you access those.
