I have CPT(carpal Tunnel) and problems with my ulner nerve. 5 out of 6 doctors, the 6th being the one my company sent me too, agree its work related.
Since the begining the company I work for held me from filing workmans comp though at the time I didnt see it.
I came to work, my hand swollen and aching and I showed it to my supervisor.
I went straight to my Primary Care physician. He made the conclusion its work related but made arrangements for xray and to see a rhumetologist.
He too agreed it was work related. I went to the first company dr who said it was work related.
On my second visit to the company Dr, he now said it was not work related.
My company also denied me the workmans comp paperwork for 2 weeks. Then it took them over 3 weeks to file them even after I turn them in.
I had to file them myself with workmans comp.
Can anyone tell me, would hiring a lawyer be worth it? I have spoken with an attourney, he said what I have forward to is 270 dollars a week while I get retrained in another field.
Is this true? is this all that would happen?
