What is the name of your state? Texas
My husband was hurt at work 2 weeks ago. He was in a tower in a chemical plant when a trey in the tower fell on him and hurt his back. They have taken him to there doctor and of course there is nothing wrong with him. He has talked to workmens com and is having a VERY hard time getting a hold of them to set up an appt to go see his own doctor. Meanwhile he is at work and his employeer is trying to make him got back to full duty. He has not seen his own doctor yet. Can they by law make him go back to full duty before he sees his own DR? They know that all he is waiting on is WC to call him back with the approvial to go to his own dr for a second opinon. Is this allowed by law in the state of Texas?
