MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS

When you suffer an injury at work, it is of vital importance that you seek medical treatment immediately. By law, you have the right to leave the job site when you have sustained an injury to seek emergency medical treatment. It is important to keep a record of the doctors that treat you and their reports. Most importantly, be engaged and ask questions of the medical professionals that treat you. Without a medical record of your injury you will not have a legal basis to receive workers' compensation payments.

A medical examination is required to file a workers' compensation claim. For more information on issues related to the medical examination follow the links listed below.

The following questions are provided to assist you in a determination:

• Were you injured at your place of work?
• Was the injury a result of employer negligence?
• Were you injured during work hours?

• Have you received medical treatments for this injury?
• Do you have medical bills as a result of this injury?
• Have you lost wages as a result of this injury?
• Are you unable to return to work because of your injury?

If you answered "yes" to four or more of these questions you may be eligible to file a workers' compensation claim. Fill out the form for a free professional consultation.
