Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

Re: workers comp

Object to the doctor report and request a Panel QME to address AOE/COE. You might also call the I&A office of the nearest WCAB.

Re: workers comp

The employer is looking out for their interests and not yours. The doctor you saw was paid by the employer and as such, has the employer's interests at heart, not yours.

There is a reason why injured workers hire attorneys. Perhaps this is one of those reasons.

Re: workers comp

If the facts and statements are as you say, go to the adjuster's superior and point out that that all the Dr. is saying is that it could have happened at work but he does not know, since he was not there, but your witnesses verify it was at work, which means you have fully meet your burden of proof and the employer can not disprove that it is work related. Most injuries could have happened while off work, but when there are witnesses to it occurring at work that settles the issue [actually, your word alone is sufficient unless there is reason to disbelieve you].
