Frequently Asked Questions about Workers' Compensation and Social Security Disability
Q: MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT I AM DOING BETTER AND DO NOT NEED TO SEE HER THAT MUCH, HOWEVER I AM NOT WORKING, IS THIS OK?
A: NO, IT IS NOT OKAY TO ONLY SEE YOUR DOCTOR ONCE IN A WHILE.
New York Workers Compensation Law requires an injured worker to see a doctor at least once every 45 days if that injured worker is claiming on going lost time from work. If you have already returned to work then you do not have to go to the doctor (only if you want to or need to at the end of your case).
No matter how serious your injury, no matter what your attorney says or what the Law Judge sees, everything is based on medical evidence. Without medical we can do nothing for you. SEE YOUR DOCTOR REGULARLY while you are out of work.
