Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
no offer of modified work or voc rehab services
was determined eligible eight months ago for voc rehab services due to back injury sustained twenty three months ago during accident otj. by the way i was terminated while on wc due to business necessity which is a lie, but thats another story. a counselor arranged for and gave me voc aptitude assesment test and talked to me about a vocational school. this also happened eight months ago. i heard nothing for over three months until a different counselor called to ask if i knew there was a modified job available. never heard from them again until the hearing on my failure to participate in rehab. determination was that i failed to participate, so there go benefits. what am i missing here? i told hearing officer there was no job offer, they have no proof otherwise, so how can this be? help please.

Re:Workmans Comp
I would suggest that you contact a workmans comp
attorney immediately. It does not sound like you
are getting a fair shake. From what you said not
only do you have a reasonable bad faith workmans comp
case but also a wrongful termination case. I would
be happy to give you a free consultation over the phone
since it is difficult to explain in writing what your
rights are. My phone number is (805) 546-9918 or
you can email me with your phone number and a convenient
time to reach you and I would be happy to call you.
