Under California law, employers have a period of 90 days in which they can review and respond to a workers’ compensation claim. If more than 90 days have passed, then the claim is presumed to be accepted so your medical bills, possible disability benefits, and other eligible costs related to the work injury should be covered.

California's workers' compensation uses a process called IMR (Independent Medical Review) to resolve disputes concerning medical treatment of injured employees. The sooner you file your IMR application, the better. When you file an IMR, you are objecting to any treatment denial, and that could include diagnostic studies to actually then determine a treatment plan such as an MRI or a CT scan. If you delay the IMR application, any denial is going to take longer to resolve.

Sometimes office workers suffer injuries from slip and fall accidents or from moving a piece of heavy machinery. However, office workplace injuries are most likely to be repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, or trigger finger injuries. Ergonomics are crucial in prevention and minimizing the severity of repetitive strain injuries. Check out this short article about office ergonomics from The Mayo Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/in-depth/office-ergonomics/art-20046169

Today we honor Juneteenth. To this day, Black and foreign-born Hispanic workers work in jobs with the highest injury risk on average. This day is a reminder to honor the first Juneteenth, when enslaved people in Texas learned of their emancipation from slave owners who hid emancipation from them for two years. It’s also a day to look at how we can create more equitable environments in our workplaces. https://bit.ly/4byEXQi
