In this video, attorney David Daggett of Daggett Shuler Law answers the question: My employer chose the doctor I went to see. Can I trust that doctor? Under workmens' compensation law, the employer or the employer's insurance company has the right to choose the medical provider and to direct the medical treatment. You have to be careful in dealing with those providers because, techniclly, they are working for the employer to some degree. An experienced attorney that is used to dealing with workmen's compensation issues can help guide you through the medical provider process and can intervene to make sure that you are treated fairly, get the treatment you deserve and make sure that your claim is processed in your best interest.
