[QUOTE="abbear, post: 168643, member: 61"] In Calif recent workers comp reform has taken away the right to see your own doc unless prior to the injury you have a letter from your doctor stating that 1) he has treated you in the past and 2) is willing to continue to do so. If you do not have a letter like this state law requires that you see the 'company doctor'. Even if you do have one Liberty Mutual may try to force you to use theirs. Unfortunately it seems that every injured worker gets an automatic part time job figuring out comp laws in their state. If you are not making full pay you might want to check with your state disability office. I was originally injured in 2002. When I had my surgery in 2005 I was paid at the 2002 rate (state law). I checked with Ca state disability and found that I could get state disability payments to make up the difference in the rates - $960 vs $680 a week. Not injured yet? Odds are you will be. Learn how the system works NOW! That will put you more in control. [/QUOTE]
