Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

I just went to trial I have been in the CA workers comp system for 18 years. It's been a nightmare I am in pro per first there was no stenographer present at the trial, I was unable to present any evidence to the judge to validate my claim for TTD owed to me based on the QME's report. And the defense was able to subtract an amount from my reward which was incredibly wrong and was unable to get any penalties for anything the judge was incredibly rude to me and used foul language. I felt I got unfair trial and the amount was extremly low after all these years i never received proper treatment they just say I have failed back surgery syndrome it took 4 years to get surgery they kept sending me to PT which only made it worse till 3 levels collasped and left me is so much pain I suffered 2 heart attack and had a double by pass and have chronic pain and depression all of these are secondary condition to subsequent injury to back and all of this was denied even though i had medical reports the judge never looked at them. can i file an appeal or can i sue the ins, co. for bad faith in a cival court?

No, insurers asserting their interests in court are not subject to bad faith, they are just presenting their version of events and disability findings. If you are unhappy with the law, CAMPAIGN VIGOROUSLY AGAINST YOUR STATE ASSEMBLYWOMAN AND STATE SENATOR. They California Assembly and State Senate and Gov. Brown KNOW people are suffering and being denied treatment for years and being awarded next-to-nothing, and they support Workers Comp Insurance Companies instead. The way they barreled through SB863 wiped out treatment even for the victims of the San Bernardino terrorist attack. This democrat assembly and state senate don't care that people are suffering and dying. They should all have been voted out in the last election, but all people do is complain on the internet instead of campaign against them and let them know exactly why.
