This is exactly why insurance rate rates are so high

Rates are high because it’s a slip and fall back injury from May and the claimant is already in pain management with injective therapy, and what sounds like impending RFA procedures, which is not necessarily cheap. You don’t do this sprains and such. Sounds like some preexisting conditions at play. Which admittedly could be brought into a disabling reality, but still. That’s an awfully aggressive treatment plan this early. This fact pattern, without knowing any other details, is signaling all kinds of red flags. If comp doesn’t have an investigator yet they are slipping.
