In California, injured workers have the right to medical treatment. The law requires employers or the employers' workers compensation insurance provider to provide for any reasonable treatment for injuries suffered on the job.
Medical treatment for work injuries can extend for long periods of time. You should not be forced to pay for any costs deemed related to your work injury at any point of your treatment. Should you require medical treatment for the rest of your life, the workers compensation insurance carrier should handle the bills.
Perona, Langer, Beck, Serbin and Mendoza has served all of California's injured workers by increasing the options available for medical treatment. As part of our ongoing commitment to hardworking Californians, PLBSM successfully argued to the State of California Reconsideration Unit that injured workers in California may treat and be examined by a physician of their choosing. No longer are injured California workers required to treat within the insurance company's medical provider network.
