When a workers’ comp doctor says you don’t need surgery but your body tells you otherwise, what can you do? In this powerful episode of The Verdict, workers' compensation lawyer Brian Groesser returns to explain how injured workers can get second opinions, challenge biased treatment decisions, and fight for the care they deserve.
Brian outlines the Independent Medical Examination (IME) process, how it works in North Carolina, and why it's often the turning point in getting proper treatment. He and Clark discuss how employer-approved doctors sometimes minimize injuries to save costs, and why having a legal advocate can level the playing field.
You’ll learn how attorneys can communicate directly with treating physicians (while the other side can’t), and how that simple advantage can lead to better outcomes—physically, financially, and emotionally.
