Trust Your Body – Take Control of Your Work Injury Case
When you’re injured at work, your employer may try to downplay the severity of your injury or push you to see their company-approved doctors. However, you don’t have to rely on your employer’s doctors to determine whether your injury is serious. You know your body best—and if something doesn’t feel right, you should seek independent medical advice and legal representation.
Why You Shouldn’t Rely Solely on Your Employer’s Doctors
Many injured workers are pressured into visiting company-approved doctors after a workplace accident. However, it’s important to understand that these doctors:
🚫 May prioritize your employer’s interests over your health
🚫 Could minimize your injury to get you back to work faster
🚫 Might fail to recommend necessary medical treatments
🚫 Are often limited in what they can diagnose or treat
Your health and recovery should be the top priority—not just getting back to work as quickly as possible. If you feel ignored, rushed, or dismissed by a company doctor, don’t wait—seek a second opinion from an independent medical professional.
You Know Your Body – Listen to It!
Most people know their body’s normal capabilities—when something is wrong, you feel it. Ignoring pain, limited mobility, or ongoing symptoms can lead to long-term damage and complications that could have been prevented with proper treatment. If your physical ability is compromised, do not hesitate to:
✔️ Seek medical attention from a doctor of your choice
✔️ Document your symptoms, pain levels, and any difficulties you face at work
✔️ Request necessary tests, such as X-rays, MRIs, or physical therapy evaluations
✔️ Avoid returning to work before you are fully recovered
Taking control of your medical treatment ensures that you get the right diagnosis and the best possible care for your injuries.
