Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
My brother is out with a workman comp settlement in the work. He has no were to live and can not get ahold of his lawer. He is in s.california while the rest of his family and emotional support system is in idaho. If he moves will that negatively affect his situation or can they move his appointments and switch his legal aid to professionals here?

He can get treatment outside California. However, the physician will have to follow California rules and regulations regarding treatment, and most importantly will not be able to bill over the Official Medical Fee Schedule for comp payments and this will make it exceptionally hard to find an out of state physician who will accept treatment.
