Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

workers compensation

I have worked for a major bank for 29 years. In the past year the management has put extreme pressure on me to the point that my doctor put me on a 3 month medical leave due to the elevated blood pressure and heartrate. Do I have a case there are more details but not enough room to write

Re: workers compensation

yes, you have a potential comp claim, if your doctor specifically states that works issues are responsible for over half of your problems. The question for you is whether or not you want to move treatment into the WCAB system, as utilization review and other issues often delay treatment.

Yes, If your hypertension and other medical condition were caused or aggravated by work pressure, you would have a strong argument that you have a work-related injury. I had a case regarding an employee who had a stroke at work in which medical examiner later determined that it was partially work-related. Contact us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
