Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

work related injuries

in california county of sonoma a employee employed on a temp. basis through the county the employee was injured on the job and sent to kaiser work comp dr. and then sent to another dr because the supervisor that sent her to kaiser was in error to were to send her although kaiser dr suggested she reframe from work for 2 weeks to allow time to possibly heal unless there was sedetary work avail for her, but new dr released her the next day and although injury (knee) is still too painful to function she is instructed to go to different dept and do lighter work and she will not be paid for days off so far and after the 13th of march she will be cut off from employment because her 12.000 max pay grant through the county will be up. Being so if injury is still limiting her normal work status isnt she entitled to some sort of compensation through the county since her injury that will keep her from working the field she has gained experience in there for keeping her from earning the pay she normally would have been elgible for, and what about 2nd opinions not through the workplace and legal representation?
