Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

Re: Waorkers compensation California

Unless the new law has a provision directly stating that it applies retroactively [goes back to cover injuries before the change that have not been resolved], then you apply the law as it was on the date of injury.

I am assuming that you never got a permanent disability rating, but asked for within 5 years of the injuries. tell them to cite to you the language that allows them to make this change, as the burden of proof is on them.

I do not know what the two Dr.s said so Ii do not know if you need an attorney or not. A WC attorney normally get about 10% of the award. If you wanted me to work on the case, i would charge $100 per hour, but until I speak with you [no charge for the telephone conference], I will not know what type of aid you really will need.
