I am sorry to hear of your injury. In Indiana if you are injured on the job the employer (the ins carrier) has 3 obligations. To pay for medical treatment (but they get to control who you see), pay 2/3 of your avergae wage if a doctor says you can not return to work and potentially a settlement after treatment is complete for any continued loss of function, if any. Though their obligations are know it is common to have issues while on work comp, as you have seen. The carrier is often more concerned about cost than your well being. I would suggest speaking with a work comp attorney asap. Also, if a third party is responsible for your injury you have a seperate claim as well.
