Workers compensation Law
Any query about the workers
compensation insurance laws, claims process and/ or other benefits
should be directed to Information and Assistance Officer at one of the
district offices of the Division of Industrial Accidents, Department of
Industrial Relations.
Workers compensation insurance claim
The employee might request assistance from Information and
Assistance Officer who would effort to assist and resolve the dispute
informally. If that effort fails, the employee could file an application
for final negotiation with the Workers
Compensation Appeals Board, (WCAB). The Information and Assistance
Officer might be able to help with this filing unless the injured worker
has maintained a private attorney. The WCAB has exclusive authority for
resolution of the dispute.
About Medical treatment
In workers
compensation insurance policy the employer is in charge for arranging
medical treatment for the first 30 days from the date of injury. If, prior
to an injury or any illness, an employee gives in written notice to the
employer selecting a personal physician, then the employee might go to
this physician for treatment immediately after an injury.
