Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

Re: Age - SETTLEMENT

Age adjusts the rating. The rating is based upon work restrictions as determined by your doctor. To get a favorable rating you need to object to your treating physician's findings within 30 days of the permanent and stationary report as the treating physician usually exaggerates the benefits of a surgery. You need a doctor that is applicant oriented. Obtain representation to be referred to a doctor who does applicant work. The worker's compensation system is very adversial. The insurance companies will get away with anything they can. They will pay you the minimum on your claim unless you obtain representation to protect your interests. The worker's compensation insurance companies have attorneys, why don't you? Attorney fees are limited by law to 9% to 12% of the final settlement or award. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.
