Workers Compensation Appeal Options

Summary

If your workers compensation case was settled but your condition has worsened, you may be able to file a petition to reopen the case. Consider a malpractice claim if you believe your lawyer or doctors mishandled your case. For the wrongful death of a partner, you might explore filing a wrongful death claim if negligence was involved. California does not recognize common law marriage, but you may still have some rights. For stolen property, consider filing a police report or pursuing a civil claim. Consult with local attorneys for personalized legal advice.

I got hurt at work and had the workers comp settlement case and had to appeal it and the first doctor I went to said that it was just in my head when that was the first thing for the truth and I didn't even have an extra done until the QME ordered one but he only ordered one without contrast and an x-ray and completed his report without receiving those results. Said that I would not need to have surgery and my possibility for disability is minimal if any. Turns out I have a druj widening with a positive ulnar variance. I did take a settlement because my lawyer had advised me to and I was denied a rehabilitation voucher even though Warehouse is all I've ever done and I have not been able to find employment since and my wrist has gotten worse and worse and worse what legal action can I take
Hi ****! I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Based on what you've described, you might have a few options:
- Consider filing a petition to re-open your workers' compensation case if new evidence shows your condition has worsened.
- You might also look into a malpractice claim if you believe your lawyer or doctors mishandled your case.

I'm very sorry for your loss, ****. Given the circumstances, you may have some options:
- Wrongful Death Claim: If the motorcycle accident was caused by someone else's negligence, you might be able to file a wrongful death claim.
- Common Law Marriage: California doesn't recognize common law marriage, but you might still have some rights.
- Property Dispute: You could potentially file a police report for the theft or pursue a civil claim for the stolen property.
