JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

The Workers’ Compensation Act mandates that you treat with the employer’s doctors (or the insurance company doctors) for the first 90 days after your injury but only if two conditions are met:

1. The employer must post a list of at least 6 doctors in your workplace and

2. The employer must have you sign a rights and responsibilities document (sometimes called a panel doctor acknowledgement) at the time of hire AND immediately after the accident.

Failure of the employer to meet both of these two conditions (and most employers do not meet the conditions), you are free to treat with a doctor of your own choosing.
