A New Doctor

New Jersey Workers' Compensation

Getting a second opinion or a new doctor

At the Law Office of John F. Marshall, in Red Bank, our lawyers help injured workers receive the medical treatment they need through workers' compensation claims. In New Jersey, the employer can require an injured employee to go to a certain doctor.

As our client, our attorneys will fight for your right to adequate treatment. If the doctor chosen by your employer is not offering you the treatment that will improve your medical condition or is authorizing light duty work that will interfere with your recovery, we will send you to another doctor for a second opinion. Our lawyers will then petition the court to have that physician become your treating doctor.
