Medical Treatment Issues
Did you receive medical treatment following your work accident? Was it the appropriate level of care, or do you continue to suffer even after treatment? The medical care you received after your work injury may have not been enough due to limits on workers’ compensation insurance. Also, many workers’ compensation settlements do not account for problems or symptoms that continue well after the accident or medical treatment is over.
