However, unlike temporary disability payments, the permanent disability payments may not be supplemented with leave credits. Temporary disability payments are issued by the California State Compensation Insurance Fund and sent directly to the injured employee. Temporary disability payments have no mandatory or voluntary deductions withheld. On the other hand, the supplementation payments are issued by the California State Controller’s Office. The supplementation payments are paid by the injured worker’s employer and are subject to all mandatory deductions including taxes, retirement contributions, garnishments, and union dues.

I have been practicing Workers Compensation defense for nearly 20 years.

I have represented public entities and self-insureds, as well as insurance carriers and TPAs.

With over 25 Years of experience representing injured California workers, we realize that navigating the workers’ compensation system is often confusing and complex for employees. The plaintiff’s personal injury attorney should set up a Qualified Settlement Fund for the settlement money received by the third party. Once the employer learns of the third party settlement, it is likely that the employer will stop paying worker’s comp benefits, including future permanent disability and medical costs. In order to preserve the injured worker’s right to receive these benefits, the injured worker must not actually receive its net recovery from the third party settlement. Instead, the settlement will be placed in a qualified account until the worker’s comp lien is resolved.
The doctor will ultimately provide their opinion on the worker’s ability to return to work and any permanent effects that the injury has on the employee’s work future. Our client was at a local restaurant and slip on the icy sidewalk when leaving. The city ordinance had requirements in place to clear snow/ice that they did not follow. After initially denying fault, we reached a settlement with the restaurant’s insurance company.

Usually, workers’ compensation claims are filed, treatment is received, and benefits are paid without a problem. In addition, the workers’ compensation carrier has an actual lien against any verdict or settlement arising from any right to recover damages that the employee has against any other party for the injury. If the employee receives any proceeds from a settlement or verdict and the employer’s lien is not satisfied, then the employer will get a credit against any future worker’s compensation benefits to be provided to the injured worker. The employer  may also file a civil lawsuit against the employee for the full amount of the lien. Moreover, if settlement occurs without considering the compensation lien or without notifying the employer/carrier, then the injured worker may not be able to receive any future benefits.
We make sure that all of our clients’ claims are handled with respect and given the attention they deserve. Our workers’ comp attorneys in Los Angeles and throughout California coordinate closely with our clients during every step of the process in order to ensure that all of their rights are being enforced to their maximum potential. It’s this dedication to justice that enables us to fight hard and push back against any companies that place profit over the safety and happiness of their employees.

In some circumstances, an attorney will file to be relieved as counsel of record. This can occur when the Client is uncooperative, there is a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship or there is non-payment of fees. It is up to the Workers’ Compensation Judge to issue the order relieving counsel. An Injured Worker at any time can terminate their relationship with their attorney at any time. Also, if an Injured Worker changes attorneys too many times, it may limit their ability to obtain additional counsel. Many attorneys do not wish to substitute in on cases in which there has been prior representation.
I have always loved the field of Worker's Compensation because so much can be accomplished with a phone call. Whether it is a settlement, or a single issue resolution, I always strive to get a great result while minimizing the need for lengthy litigation. Michael was inspired to become an attorney because his father always spoke highly of the profession as a foreign diplomat for the State Department. He was also heavily inspired by trial lawyers in movies he would watch as a child like Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men, admiring their passion and persuasive speaking skills. His family travelled all over the world during his childhood with his father’s profession, so Michael was able to see multiple cultures, leading to his love for travel today.
