If I appeal my L&I claim and it goes to court after mediation, am I responsible for paying my physicians to appear in court?
Additional information
An attorney will not take the case on contingency because I am not asking for a monetary settlement - just continued coverage for mediacal treatments.
Most physicians do require payment to appear as an expert in a litigation matter. You have two places to investigate. First, find out from your doctor what he or she will require. Second, check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details so you have legal assistance in the litigation case. Going it alone is frought with problems.
Good luck to you.
God bless.
