Workers Comp?
Hi I am from California and I hurt my knee this November and my work sent me to a doctor and then they sent me to a ortho doctor in which took me off work due to some minor tears in the ACL
The workers comp nurse went behind my back to the Ortho doctor and got him to release me back to work without seeing me a second time. In fact it was my work who called me and said I was released (never saw any paper stating it)
When I went back to work on the 6th day as I stepped down off the stairs of the bus my knee gave out and I fell to the ground, now they think I did more damage the PT thinks I tore the maniscus because of the knee cap clicking and popping, he said he never heard that before in my knee.
So the first doctor I saw is going to order a new MRI.
My question is do you think I should obtain an Attorney due to how my works workers comp is doing..I love my job and they treat me good but it is the workers comp people who are AH.

eh workers comp is terrible..my boyfriend is dealing with them right now. I would set up for a consultation with a lawyer and explain them your case…the workers comp nurse had no right to contact your doctor, their job is to determine your disability and nothing else. But you should definitely speak to someone because they should of notified you and seen you a second time before releasing you. Good luck!!
