Question: Can I be made to wait six weeks for a M.R.I. after breaking my arm at work?

Answer: You should not have to wait. Unfortunately with the way Workers' Compensation is today, the insurance company can effectively make you wait and even deny diagnostic testing and treatment. The insurance companies have strict guidelines to follow. If they fail to follow the guidelines, their delay or denial may not be valid. Your best bet is to consult a certified Workers' Compensation applicants' attorney at your earliest opportunity.
