Since the end of last year, I myself have been sexually assaulted in my store and most recently, 02/16/2020 have had my phone stolen out of my pocket. Around the same time an employee had her car stolen out of the parking lot. Literally last week a homeless woman managed to sneak into the back room... Read more »
Wow very sorry to hear of these events in your work place. you have a valid work injury claim for stress in the work place from witnessing violent events. you should also file a complaint with the Dept of fair employment and housing for unsafe work place.
I don't understand how to respond to a lawyer's response to my initial question on this website .. If that is even possible. So I am adding more details in this question. The DA allowed a 1x consult to a neurologist. She put this in writing. Three lawyers down (and three years later )and it... Read more »
My answer urges you consult a lawyer. Not here in bits and pieces but over the phone at least. A carrier can deny a body part but all any manner of consultations. For deniedbody parts a PQME is needed unless the denial is legal rather than medical.
Workers' compensation. Insurance agent made unilateral decision to deny treatment and not even send Rfa thru ur with the reason being because it was a one time consultation with the doctor. This is not allowable. I can find no caselaw, no regulations, no circumstances that allow him to bypass... Read more »

Yes you can obtain further TTD, 2 years worth within a 5 year period. You may also have a CT which can extend this. Work comp is very complex. Call for a free and confidential consultation. Work comp attorneys provide free consultations.
Injury 12/28/2017 case closed 10/17/2019 was told I didnt have anything significant and it wouldnt cause problems in my day to day. I have gotten worse pain and went to the hospital and now have sciatica. And have missed days of work already.
You have a new case with the current employer and because your prior case seems to have been downplayed that can benefit you now. You should consult a workers compensation attorney ASAP to flesh out more details, options and rights
Yes you can get a copy and whether you have an attorney or not it does not cost you, in my experience. I have never been charged for a doctor depo transcript when the defense calls the depo. even when i call the depo i ask the defense to provide the court reporter and they do so since they get the...

Good Afternoon,
I have been out on workers comp due to a heart injury from my job for the past 7 months. About 2 months ago, I received a certified letter from my job telling me that I needed to be "in my home" from 830am until 5pm monday thru friday while I'm out of work.
