Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
Workers Comp Claim Denied Forged Signature
I was injured on the job last year and paid for my treatment. I later filed a workers comp claim to try and get back the money I spent rehabilitating myself ($1,200). I have since left the company.
My claim was denied today because First Comp Insurance says they have paperwork with my signature saying that I am 50% owner of the company (I was only sales and clerical, I never owned any part of the company).
I got a copy of the paperwork and my signature has been forged ( I havent signed my name like that since high school). To top it all off you can see where the person started spell my signature wrong then corrected it by writing over it.
I am rather angry that my $1,200 is being denied and really angry that someone has forged my signature.
What do I do?

If it is that obvious, that would be a fun case to take on -- who forged it, your old company? (What jokers!) Write back at my private email.
Re: Workers Comp Claim Denied Forged Signature
You need to file a WCAB claim and application correctly not only for the cost of treatment but also for temporary disability (if any) and permanent disability (If any). If your employer's insurance company denies coverage contending that you are half owner, discovery will prove otherwise. Feel free to call us for a free consultation at 213.388.7070.
