Worker’s compensation doctors are bias and they send you back to work even though in most case they shouldn’t. The law says you have to treat with them but the law allows you to be evaluated by a neutral doctor one time to know your true disability and your true need for future treatment. Once... Read more »
I been going to their Dr and therapy since March. Also how do they calculate a offer to me if they pay for my Dr Therapist medication and rides to my appointment s?
Worker’s compensation docotrs are very bias and they do return you to work even though they shouldn’t. In their final report they give you low percentage of disability and little need for future treatment. The law allows you to be evaluated by a neutral doctor to see what your true disability...

All WCAB trials now are by telephone. Your witness MUST have access to a telephone!!! You will have to get the Judge's hearing line plus the access code and train your witness how to phone in and enter the code when the voice tells him to enter the code. OR bring your witness to your... Read more »

In California, you are considered to be employed at will unless you have an agreement to the contrary about that status with your employer. The employer of an at will employee has the absolute right to change the terms and conditions of employment, including job title and duties, at any time and... Read more »
Upcoming Workman's Comp trial. I am the Witness and am preparing a Affidavit that will be notarized.
I did not see the object fall on this person, but I was called by cell from the injured person. I went and
found this person under a large dry erase board on top of her. I... Read more »
You do not need to have the statement notarized, as a notary is irrelevant'. You need to add a verification stating
I (name) declare under penalty of perjury the above is true and correct except for those matters plead on information and belief and I believe them to be true.... Read more »
If one applies for short term disability (casdi) and marks it as NOT being related to a workers comp issue, does that automatically preclude a later finding that the injury was due to (at least in some part or exacerbated by) working conditions, or is that avenue closed?
I would rather... Read more »
The avenue is not closed, but gets big bumps. The first thing a defense attorney for the employer is going to produce is your SDI application for the court and say that you have no standing to file a WC case because the injury was not work related, as supported by your SDI application, which I...

I have psychological reasons: ptsd, anxiety & physical: back & knee that make travel difficult
All that is required is good cause. You file a petition with the presiding judge where the case is venued asking for it to be reassigned to another location. Therein you provide a statement on why the change is necessary. Absent objection from defendants, you should not have a problem.
I first received two weeks of paid leave by Lowe’s due to my asthma and the corona virus spreading. A week before my leave was ending I was contacted by my HR representative in seeing if I’m good to return or wish to extend my leave to two more weeks. I chose the extension and will now be back...

Approval by corporate has no bearing. Whether terminating you for taking leave is unlawful depends on the reason for the leave. If your leave was because your doctor indicated you needed leave to address a medical issue, then the leave is legally protected and any retaliation directed at you for... Read more »
My wife and I just had a baby in February, she ran out of her FMLA last week. She's a nurse who is staying home until this passes since we have an infant at home. So she's not technically unemployed, but they're now telling her she has to pay in for her insurance. Can they do this?... Read more »
The question is how long has your wife been off work and is she protected by laws other than FMLA, as well as entitled to temporary disability benefits while she recovers from childbirth. I recommend you contact an employer lawyer directly.
I quit my job on March 30, 2020. I work remotely from home per owners request. I have worked for 7 years for a small construction company in Lafayette CA. He told me when I first started that since I didn't work 40 hours a week I was not entitled to OT pay. I found out recently the was not... Read more »
This is not workers compensation, but something entirely different. You have essentially admitted to multiple felonies and now want to find a way to get money from your employer. I think you need to start again under employment law.

The answer to your question depends on the type of harassment you experienced. Being insulted, sabotaged, put down and otherwise harassed at work is not unlawful unless you can prove the motivation for that conduct is your membership in a protected class of people or because you engaged in legally...

I had a car accident no injuries or lost of work
if you are not claiming injuries then there is no reason to disclose medical information. Just be sure you don't have some silent pathology going on that comes to light later. getting a good medical check up perhaps with an MRI can be very helpful to ensure there is no bodily damage.
Hello, I'm a unarmed security guard for Allied Universal, I kick out homeless people and loiterers, the area where I work at is big and I happen to work with myself (no coworkers).

I think you have a more basic matter with which you should be concerned, which Mr. Pedersen did not address.
All people in the State of California have been ordered to stay home, unless you work in a field which is exempt from that order. Even if you "work alone", as you say, you... Read more »

Is there an attorney who can help me file the proper paperwork if you can help me please let me know
generally if your settlement is under $25,000 there will be no structure. It is not worth the effort. First, the insurance carrier must agree to a structure, then the option is to use their vendor, or seek one of your own. The carrier must pay the money into the structure to avoid a tax...

If the agreement does not match the one you said you agreed to, you must immediately petition IN WRITING to the JUDGE to immediately withdraw your consent. Telephone chats will accomplish nothing. You have to PETITION TO SET ASIDE ORDER APPROVING COMPROMISE AND RELEASE AGREEMENT based upon... 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.
If you are dismissing your attorney, why would the attorney attend?
for 12 years I had to meet strict guidelines of how I used or didn't use paid time off,I was not compelled to use my time if I choose not too,save it,use it I decided I was not forced too, even if I called out ill, I still decided if it was used or not...on my behalf, paid or not paid........
Your employer cannot compel, or force, you to use your vacation time if you are otherwise entitled to sick leave. Vacation time is yours, and you cannot be compelled to use it for anything other than vacation time. If you get sick, then use your sick time. That is what it is for.
