your attorney is the place to get your case plan. he is paid to answer all your questions. he works for you, to serve your interests and assert your rights. you can change your attorney if your attorney is not communicating with you.
It's been well past the 30 day cap still nothing do I get paid waiting for all those days past the 72 hours

Sorry, but your employer has no legal duty to provide you with hours, and you are not entitled to money to compensate you for waiting to get more hours.
Good luck to you.

answered on Nov 22, 2022
Sorry, NO. The Labor Code limits you to 2/3 of your 'Average Weekly Wage' AT THE TIME OF INJURY. But not after wage negotiations. So all the adjuster has to pay is 2/3 of what you earned at the moment of injury. IF you worked and earned wages (not TTD disability payments, just Wages)... Read more »

Talk to your attorney about this as he or she has the facts, we do not. If you don’t have an attorney then I can understand why you got screwed. Lesson learned; never go it along when fighting an insurance company for benefits
