While you CAN pick your own doctor, this video tells you when you HAVE TO see the insurance company doctor. (If you refuse, you could lose your case). This is super important for you to know, so check it out!

In workers' compensation cases, the law varies by state, with some states allowing the employer to select the treating doctor. It's advisable to cooperate with the company-appointed doctor, but if you disagree with their advice, seek a second opinion, preferably from a local lawyer who understands state-specific laws.

Employers can order an Independent Medical Examination (IME) or Defense Medical Examination (DME) to challenge your case. Skipping scheduled IMEs can lead to benefit cuts. In Illinois, you have the right to choose your treating doctor, offering some immunity against company-appointed doctors. In personal injury cases like car crashes or falls, you have the freedom to select your doctor, and insurance companies typically don't interfere unless a lawsuit is filed, in which case they might request an examination by their doctor.

If you find yourself in a situation where you're unsure about seeing the insurance company's doctor, it's crucial to consult with a local lawyer who is knowledgeable about your state's workers comp laws. Scott DeSalvo offers his expertise and can connect you with a reputable attorney. Your health should always come first, so don't hesitate to seek a second opinion if you're not comfortable with the advice you're receiving. Remember, each state has its regulations, so it's best to consult with a lawyer before taking any action.
