Independent Medical Exams in Workers Comp Cases

Augusta Georgia Workers Compensation Lawyers

If you or a loved one have been injured due on the job, then you are entitled to an independent medical exam.  Call our Augusta Georgia workman's compensations lawyers today.

Under Georgia workers compensation rules, injured workers select from a panel of physicians posted by their employer. This doctor becomes the authorized treating physician — the health care provider who determines if and when the injured worker is ready to return to work.
You have the right to a second opinion.      

      
You have the right under Georgia law to have a one-time, independent medical exam by a doctor whom you select yourself. The workers' compensation insurance company has to pay for it. Your lawyer can play a vital role in an independent medical exam. The insurance company may negotiate with your attorney to arrange for you to take an independent medical exam.

 

To receive an independent medical exam, you have to make the request correctly. If you do not stick to the procedure, the insurance company will reject you request for an independent medical exam.
