Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
doctors with criminal backgrounds
I was injured on the job and started seeing a doctor in sacramento california,this doctor told me on my first visit that i needed surgery,then he ended up telling labor and industries i did not need surgery,he has lied about every visit i had with him,i recieved no treatment at all.
I ended up looking him up on the medical board of california to find out he has an extensive criminal background,lots of malpractice suits ,lots of everything.
He just resentley got his license suspended,he has a 6 felony count against him for workmans comp insurance fraud,and other things.
My question is my labor and industries has been closed due to this doctor lying,what can i do about this? do i have a case?

Re: doctors with criminal backgrounds
Object to the doctor's findings, request a panel QME under LC 4062, and request a list of treating physicians from the carrier. You should probabaly seek assistance with representation as this is a very unique fact pattern. The number of physicians with criminal backgrounds is exceedingly small.
