I see.

This SHOULD involve a worker's comp claim and the employer should pay for the medical expenses because it was a work-related injury that occurred in the scope of your son's employment.

He really needs to retain a local worker's comp attorney to review what was filed with the employer and appeal the employer's decision not to pay the medical expenses if a claim has been filed.

If a claim has not been filed, the attorney will need to determine whether or not it is too late to file one. If the employer took steps to prevent your son from filing a claim or is otherwise at fault, there may still be time to file a worker's comp claim.

WC attorneys typically work on a contingency fee basis so there should be no fee unless they prevail on your son's behalf.
