We serve injured workers and fight for them to receive all their benefits especially medical treatment and compensation.

Hello, my name is Naomi. I have been practicing in Southern California since 2012. I opened my own firm because after seeing how the work comp "mills" functioned, I knew there was a better way. My firm is different because our clients are able to access their attorney and we focus on client education, so they are informed and feel comfortable throughout the entire work comp process.

Thank you so much Miss Naomi. This was soooo helpful. I am going through the ringer with my case and this was so helpful. I really think my case is unique and I think they might end up retiring me because of it but I'm not sure....It's just a thought because of all my issues/ailments. I've liked this video and subscribe because I really want to know how this process works in its entirety. Will look at your other videos next. Thank you again for sharing.

Hi Naomi I have a difficult case I believe I was injured in 2003 and had four surgeries to shoulder and two neck front and back cervical never fully recovered from either and depression all these years I’ve been waiting for some type of settlement and the only money I got was my temporary disability benefits for two years and in the beginning they sent me to over 30 doctors physical therapy four hours a day five days a week for six weeks which was ridiculous all coming out of my pocket of course they used to pay for my meds but they haven’t paid for my meds for 2 1/2 years which I pay for now because they don’t believe I have pain I think in 2015 they came up with this new concept of other doctors opinion reading on paper what you’re about and deciding if you’re eligible for medication opiates usually and they all state no they won’t give me any therapy any chiropractic any acupuncture nothing I don’t know what to do anymore I’m at my wits end I am in dire pain and I was told by my lawyer my injuries were my neck my shoulder and depression I did not know that neck included my full back that’s what I’m finding out now I did not know them and if it’s my fault shame on me but she never said your full back is covered now that I found out it is I have paid so much money out of pocket for MRIs doctor visits and she doesn’t seem to care I told her if I can get reimbursed and she said they don’t have to do anything for you the only money I got from her was penalty fees because it’s taking so long I haven’t got no chunk of money and we’re in 2022 which I think she didn’t do her job in the time that she had to do it I’m so frustrated anyways I hope I get some kind of input from you I would really love to speak to you but I know you’re very busy but I hope you leave me a comment thanks for your time greatly appreciate it cc

That's is a tricky message the workerscomp systems is broke every attorney falls in that

[Krystaldoll]

In in Kern County. I believe we are considered Southern California not Northern. In actuality we’re central, so I’m nit close to northern or southern. I’m in Bakersfield.

Miss. Naomi, my MMI date is approaching on 12/30 of this month. I still have pain on my left wrist and upper left back shoulder, since trip and fall at work I injured left arm. I’m worried MMI date comes and they want to sent me back to full duties at work. I don’t see the work compensation doctor until 1/3/2023. What should I do? I got injuries on 11/27/2023 and I feel MMI date was too not enough time to recover.

It would be nice to have a video on how to fill out (and when) the RTWSP forms. I have looked and I cannot find anything on you tube.

[blessedladyrobinson]

Excellent video and info very helpful! Can I ask you have you ever heard of a category 4 rating for impairment? Spinal fusion is the surgery. If you have heard of that how does it calculate into a percentage? WA state

[blockmasterscott]

I’m so glad that I hired a Workmans comp lawyer. Workmans comp never did try to screw me over, but there are so many little things you need to know, and having a lawyer helped in dividends.

One thing to know though, is that everyone involved, both the insurance company and the Workmans comp doctors look for and know how to look for people faking injuries.

I’m glad I was a legit case with X-rays and tests, and I was still scared of being called a fraudster. The doc had to tell me to relax because she knew I was really injured.

But seriously, I’m so happy I got a Workmans comp lawyer.

[frankdo]

worried !
Looking for a attorney, who is good in TMJ, mouth, face case ..
