Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
Hi i I've settled my case in2008 n just received a notice of hearing.status conference.what those this mean
1 Answer from Attorneys
Cannot be certain, but often the doctors and imaging centers and pharmacies are refused payment, so they request a conference before setting the matter for trial. Another possibility is that you settled by Stipulations With Request For Award keeping future medical open, and the insurer wishes to meet with you and your attorney about closing out future medical rights for cash. WRITE YOUR ATTORNEY FOR AN ACCURATE EXPLANATION, if you call and the case was closed 10 years back, you likely won't get a call back. BUT IF YOU WRITE and note you require an explanation of the upcoming conference, the attorney cannot 'abandon' you and explain the nature of the conference.
