Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

Filing after your fired

I went to the doctor and found I have a pretty bad case of carpul tunnel. I had insurance through my employer and gave them a doctors not stating I had it and I needed a wrist brace while working. I was fired for a different reason and now have no medical insurance. Can I still file a claim for workers comp for my medical attention that I need while I am on unemployment?

You need to start the procedure as quickly as possible as a presumption of non-compensability will apply. If your carpal tunnel syndrome was work related you have a valid claim. You would be well served by obtaining representation. This is a matter for which an experienced hand in legal strategy in needed.
