Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

workers comp disabilty payments

I have been on california disabilty for 6 months. I have had one back surgery and plan for a fusion. Now that the company has accepted my claim I am going to switch docters (then get the fusion) However the docter has released me to work with no restrictions. I dont understand how she can do that if I am goign to be getting a fusion. This will allow the company to stop my disabilty payments. Also, Ive read in california, once the payments stop you cannot collect for the same injury again. Is this true?

Re: workers comp disabilty payments

I am not surprised that the insurance company or employer sent you back to work with no restriction. You need to file a WCAB claim and application and proceed with your case. You need to receive future physical therapy, injection and benefits after your surgery. Call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
