Statute of Limitations
When an injury occurs in the workplace or in the course of performing your job responsibilities, you are entitled to medical treatment and compensation under Workers' Compensation. Your employer's workers' compensation insurance company is required to provide all necessary medical treatment to cure and relieve your injury. You are not required to use your own medical insurance for this treatment and are not required to pay any deductible or co-pay.
You may be entitled to future medical treatment after your trial or settlement but, to protect that right, it must be provided for in the settlement or award.
In many cases the employer and/or its insurance company refuses to provide adequate medical treatment. They sometimes refuse to provide any treatment at all. Other times they may insist that you see the company doctor and unreasonably refuse to authorize a specialist.
