Sorry, I cannot help you.
Re: Personal job injury
Your injury is work-related and covered under labor codes and Worker's Compensation laws. You need to hire an attorney to file a WCAB claim and application for you with the Worker's Compensation Board and proceed with your case. These cases are decided by panel doctors.

Should be posted under workers compensation if there is such a section.
