Nancy J. Wallace

Nancy has more than 30 years of experience in workers comp in the Inland Empire, starting as a law clerk defending Comp Insurance Companies, watching insurance companies refuse help people seriously hurt at work. In 1994, she left defense to represent only injured workers. Nancy knows what it is to be injured and trying to work and support a family. In the Inland Empire 30 years, Nancy knows which physicians and facilities truly help injured workers (and which ones just give lip service but no help). Nancy answers questions for workers throughout the state on Avvo.com, LawGuru.com, and on her website: www.imhurt.info.

• Workers' Compensation

• Free Consultation
• Contingent Fees
  YOU don't ever write me a check; the Judge orders the insurer to pay me after I help you get paid on your claim.
• Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
  Workers Comp fees are just 15%, NOT 40% like personal injury attorneys. NO FEE IS PAID UNTIL YOUR CLAIM CLOSES. [You never pay the fee directly...the insurer pays a part of your award to the attorney, per the judge's order.]

Q. witness affidavit question

15 May 2020

A: 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 phone and after you enter the code and the judge says it's time to swear in the witness, hand the phone to your witness. Easy peasy.

Q. Applying for SSDI after receiving Unemployment assistance?

15 May 2020

A: EDD has Unemployment Insurance or State Disability Insurance (SDI). Self employed do not get UI. Self employed do not get SDI (it's a deduction on workers checks ). Social Security Disability ftom the Federal govt is a possibility. But it requires doctors writing you cannot work, and it takes nearly a year.

Q. At a c/r settlement hearing they brought a totally different contract that i signed but didnt realize all of the errors

19 February 2020

A: 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 mistake, and note that the document you signed without reading was not the document you were provided in the mail/email. An Order Approving C&R must be set aside within 20 days so you will have to do this today. The petition will have to be filed at the WCAB Office where the judge approved the C&R. you will have to attach a Proof of Service showing you sent copies to the defense lawyer and the insurance adjuster, or the judge cannot consider it (just a letter to the judge without copies to the insurer and lawyer, the judge cannot rule on).
