I am a Certified Legal specialist in California workers' compensation. I have an office in Point Arena California.

Workers' Compensation

• Free Consultation
  The WCAB does not allow attorneys practicing workers compensation to bill clients directly and all attorney fees must be approved by the court. In sum, the applicant has no exposure to pay attorney fees absent an award from the court.
• Contingent Fees
  On occasion I will prosecute a 132a discrimination claim and may request a contingency fee relating to any recovery.

Q. Is it legal for an insurance company to stop paying benefits without medical validation by challenging their own doctor?

April 27, 2023

A: Who is going to punish the Insurance Company? File for Penalties File for an Expedited hearing and use the PTP reports to justify continued payments of TTD.

Q. In June of last year my attorney filed my claim for workers comp, I thought, she has been after the wrong ins. Now what?

March 23, 2023

A: I am in agreement with Mr. Fazzi. If your attorney served the employer with the Application and supporting materials with a proof of service, there should be no issue with the insurance carrier because the employer has a duty to notify its insurance carrier that a claim has been filed. As for sanctions per CCR 10420, LC 5813. Technically your attorney can bill the carrier for all work back to the original filing of the application.

Q. Qme recommended lower back epidural injection if I refuse that type of treatment will it effect my workman's comp case

September 8, 2022

A: The QME has exceeded the scope of the evaluation as QMEs no longer control medical treatment. If your treating physician asked for an epidural, then the carrier needs to send the request through UR and IMR. I say this because an epidural is not a diagnostic, but treatment. Rest assured the carrier is not going to approve an epidural based upon a request by the QME. So the request will do nothing for or against your case.
