Do I Need To See My Company Physician After A Work Injury?

After a work injury, your employer may tell you that you cannot file an injury report unless you visit their company physician. This is false, as you are able to see any physician who is certified by the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. So, if you have been injured in a work injury in the state of Ohio, you can visit any doctor that is certified, or go to the emergency room to treat your injuries.

The lawyers at our office recommend contacting a work injury lawyer for guidance through your claim. It can sometimes be tricky when you are pursuing a work injury claim, because unfortunately, not all employers are truthful in their statements. By contacting a lawyer, you can ensure that you are doing everything properly throughout your claim, treating the injuries appropriately, and taking all of the necessary legal steps to ensure that you receive the compensation that you deserve.
