When should I see a workers’ comp doctor instead of my regular physician?

Do I need a referral to see your workers’ comp doctor?

How soon should I seek treatment after a work-related injury?

You should seek evaluation and treatment as soon as possible after the injury occurs. Prompt treatment helps with recovery and strengthens your workers’ comp claim by showing immediate medical attention and documentation.
