Tim,
Is it possible, without a doubt, that an Injured Worker can sue (separate suit) their employer's Workers' Comp Insurance Carrier for Bad Faith Practice? Particularly when the Insurance Carrier's own doctor documents, e.g, "This patient suffered undue additional physical and emotional damages as a result of delayed treatment caused solely by the insurance carrier's reluctance to approve warranted and necessary medical procedures as previously detailed by my office and others".
Below is informative reading for you and all who see this post. Click on the side pane, also. It's a lot of literature---so I hope everyone has a day or so supply of coffee!
I'm still reading, myself.
