Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
I seem to recall reading a DWCAB ruling that stated; notice to an employer of a workers compensation injury can be waived when the employer provides health insurance and the worker obtained treatment through the provide.

If the employer is notified, directly or indirectly of the employee's injury, that suffices. As a practical matter, the failure to notify the employer has no real effect.
