Michigan Worker’s Compensation attorney
Under the new Michigan Worker’s Compensation act passed by Governor Schneider in 2011 you must now treat with the work clinic or the doctor of the insurance companies choice for 28 days. After 28 days you have the right to treat with any doctor that you choose.
However the insurance adjuster will also advise you that you do not have that right and that you must treat with the doctors that they picked for you. This is only true for the first 28 days.
You should always give the Claims adjuster notice in writing that you mare planning to treat with your doctor and I would suggest doing that in the form of an email. Writing is always better then doing it orally or over the phone.
