My supervisor was interviewed in the course of my workers comp claim investigation, do I have a right to request a summary or the recorded audio of that interview and if so, how long does my employer or the insurance company have to comply with my request for that interview? What other information can I and should I be requesting that might help my case? And yes I know I should hire an experienced attorney but I have bills to pay. Thank you
You don't have the right to the "work product" of the defense investigator/attorney UNLESS it is submitted to the reporting doctor for review and comment. YOU can set deposition of the supervisor, but you have to pay the court reporter hundreds for the original and a certified copy of the transcript. You would pay NOTHING personally to an attorney, workers comp attorneys work on contingency, receiving just 15% of the final award directly from the comp insurer at the end of the case, you never write a check.
