Frequently Asked Questions
-
What Do I Do If My Claim Is Denied?
A denied or delayed claim is not the end-all for workers’ compensation cases. You may still have a very real chance of receiving fair recovery, only now it will prove more difficult. If you have not yet retained the help of a workers’ comp attorney yet, now is the time to do so.
-
What If I Am Contacted by a Workers' Comp Adjuster?
Let us know as soon as you are contacted by an adjuster. In most cases, this is a ploy used by insurance companies to try to get you to settle on your own, and for a low, low value. If you provide us with the adjuster’s name and phone number, we will handle the situation for you. Do not call them back. Don’t worry - we will take care of this unwelcome solicitation on your behalf.
-
What Is a Deposition?
Sometimes called a ‘depo,’ a deposition involves your employer or their insurance provider asking you questions about your case. Your attorney and a court stenographer will be present during any depositions. When you team up with our workers’ comp attorneys, we will send you our deposition preparation sheet ahead of time so you can discuss your case and prepare with your personal case manager. We encourage you to come to our offices - or the deposition location - about an hour before the deposition in order to handle any last minute questions and concerns.
-
When Can I See a Doctor?
Depending on the extent of your injuries, you might see a doctor right away. Unless you have predesignated your own primary care physician before your accident, your employer will arrange for you to see a physician in their own medical provider network. If you were not taken to see a doctor, California State law allows you to see your own doctor in most circumstances. Be sure to check with your attorney before making large decisions such as this.
