When you’re injured on the job, one of the most frustrating parts of workers’ compensation is not being able to choose your own doctor. In this video, founding attorney Brent Stewart of Stewart Law Offices explains how medical providers are selected, the role of nurse case managers, and why it’s important to have a lawyer guiding you through every step.
⚖️ Who Picks Your Doctor?
In both NC and SC, the workers’ comp insurance carrier chooses your medical provider. While this often feels unfair, injured workers may request a second opinion at the end of treatment — though it must come from another doctor in the same specialty, not just your personal physician.
⚖️ Nurse Case Managers
Insurance companies sometimes assign nurse case managers to oversee treatment. While they may appear helpful, Brent warns that they’re paid by insurers and may not be neutral. A lawyer can limit their access, prevent them from entering medical appointments, and ensure your doctor-patient relationship stays private.
⚖️ Statements to Insurance Companies
Every statement you make can be used against you later. Brent explains why clients should never give statements alone, and why attorneys often advise against unnecessary statements entirely.
⚖️ Attorney Relationship & Communication
At Stewart Law Offices, clients work with the same attorney throughout their case. If personalities clash, attorneys can be reassigned — but communication is key. Brent stresses the importance of honest feedback and staying in touch with your lawyer to keep cases moving smoothly.
