Who really chooses your doctor after a workplace injury—you or the insurance company?
In this episode of The Verdict, catastrophic injury attorney Clark Speaks and workers’ comp lawyer Brian Groesser unpack one of the most frustrating realities for injured workers: once the claim is accepted, the insurance carrier gets to call the shots on your medical care.
Brian explains how carriers maintain lists of “good” and “bad” doctors—good meaning those who minimize treatment, avoid surgery, and send employees back to work quickly. But what happens when you’re still in pain and the system says, “You’re fine”?
We’ll tell you how this affects both your physical recovery and your wage loss claim, and how injured workers can end up making their condition worse by returning to work too soon.
Here’s what we discuss in this episode:
0:00 – Medical care decisions
2:30 – Why it matters
5:25 – Working through pain
