TEXT "CONSULT" to (909) 266-0003 to get answers from an attorney.
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 ☺️ Naomi for your helpful videos. These have been helpful just waiting for the end. It feels like it’s taking forever. God Bless You ❤❤❤❤
@@marissabergado7112 You're welcome 😊
In other words when Filing for Worker’s Comp. You the injured worker is screwed you lose everything and don’t get compensated for nothing and still can’t do the job you used to do or make the money you used to make. Don’t get me wrong you put out great videos a lot of good information
Workers Compensation MUST be reformed! It HAS to be reformed!
The last time california workers come had anything to do with reform was When Arnold Schwarzenegger was in office.
And that is the payout you still get today. Think about it is that fair
Naomi is the best! Another informative video. Liked! Subscribed!
Thank you Leah 😊
Your videos have helped me a lot in understanding the whole workers comp process…I was stressed with a ton of anxiety because I was clueless…
I wish I knew you before I grabbed a law firm contact from random online search…Most of these firms out there don’t keep their Clients in-touch and informed about the process…A ton of us (injured workers) are out there with Attorneys but we are clueless about what’s going on in our cases…
Let’s say your MMI report is out, can you continue working with the employer with the modified restrictions until the C&R is approved??
Thnx Mam!
Thanks for the video❤
You're welcome 😊

California here, My case has reached a point where my lawyer tell I have to leave my medical future open or get a monetary settlement.
My second surgery has been denied by the insurance based on independent doctor report, states doctor said I need a surgery and primary doctor said I need a second back spine surgery as well a second opinion doctor said also.
Permanent disability beneficies advances has ended. If I get a settlement and close my case, and in few years after I seek medical treatment I have to inform medi-cal I got a monetary settlement? (I know they got a report if I get money) What is my legal obligation or responsibility if I seek medical services in the future from a medical insurance whether it is a public or private medical insurance? My lawyer is not helping with that question. Please I will take this as mere informative from you.
Thank you so much.
Otto.
In general, once you settle, you don't tell anyone else about it. It's not taxable income.
Except two things, if you are eligible for Medicare or will be in 30 months at the time of settlement, you must inform them. Whole can of worms there.
And if you are receiving need based benefits that require income knowledge to qualify. If that is MediCal then you may not qualify next time they certify you. But that's more a MediCal question not work comp. That's probably why your attorney couldn't answer. I would call their office and ask them.
Good luck,
Naomi
@@GonzalezLawEmpower Thank you so much for what you are doing, with this very informative matter. I have inform Medical about my settlement and they say it wont affect my public benefits, at same time medical told me I need to inform the insurance my injury was at work and got a settlement from workers' comp. But my medical insurance no answer my phone calls to express my question if I have to pay or co-pay for my future medical needs in this case a very expensive back spine surgery. Thank you so much. Have a great day.
Otto.
Shout out to the asl in the video ❤️

Hi mam i am from india, i injured wn i am working in iraq LOGCAP V program with vectrus company, my insurance is not paying anything, i quit my job, i was contacted one of lawer from us he fild case 4 months back, but still i didn't recieve any thing, wn i am asking my lawyer he is telling u r insurance company is not responding, i am working with DOL, can u suggeste me best way to get my case settle..
It's not California so IDK, but they may have something similar. Here we would file a hearing to force them to meet with us.
Wait now I'm confused my friend had a never to fusion and she got 150,000 on her settlement I have an ongoing case and my doctor told me I am 11% with my lumbar laminectomy with future surgery we're still waiting for the report of the state doctor so you're trying to tell me that morning going to get $9,000 after all I been thru 😢
Hi Edward,
11% WPI or PD? This is stipulation settlement only. If you settled via Compromise and Release, you would get PD plus the value of future medical.

Hope this helps,
Naomi
Heyy Gonzalez,
We need help! My mom, who's in her late 60's, in California injured her back at work while lifting a patient without a back support belt. Her case manager informed her that if she filed for workers' comp, she'd receive $5k. She's concerned this might not be enough to support herself. We're unsure if the case manager is giving her this information to benefit the company or if it's genuinely accurate. Also, if she files for workers' comp, will she still be able to work at her second job? And could this impact her overall employment status?
Hi Jayne,
This sounds like a complicated case. Please text us "Jayme Consult" so we can chat about it.
Thank you,
Naomi
Thank you for another helpful video. Would you be so kind to take the time to explain CA Lab code 5100 - 5106 and how the WCAB may or may not alter a C&R after all other parties have signed off on the agreement?
My qme rated me at 100% torn ACL an wrongfully termination they offered future medical treatments an a voucher thats all i know of now i wonder what a case like that can settle for
Leroy,
Are you sure it was 100% industrial ie referring to the apportionment and not the impairment? Or maybe lower extremity impairment instead of whole person impairment. IF you had your leg amputated, it would not be 100%, so I don't see your knee alone could possibly be 100% PD.

So I crushed my finger at work causing it to be broken so after 7 months of it not healing I was recommended to have surgery on it to where the took the peace of bone out and some nerves because I had formed neuromas so I have had over 24 therapy sessions and now my therapist said I most likely have permanent nerve damage this is been going on for over 2years now so what do you think my outcome is going to be? And will I be compensated for all this
That sounds horrible. I'm sorry.
Sounds like you will probably have some permanent disability. The doctors will value the amount using the AMA guides. Might use loss of grip strength or another metric.
General info. But legal advice. But repenting you.
Naomi

Are temporary disability payments also credited to the insurance company and deducted from your settlement or award? Or is it only the Permanente disability advances?
Almua,
TTD is not credited unless there is a duplication or overpayment. I have a video on these types of credits.
How much is mine

Hope this helps,
Naomi
Thank you!
Once our case is settled and we are getting our Bi-weekly payments is there a place we can go to get that into a lump sum instead?
Hi Drew,
Yes if you qualify, this video will show you how, but it is at a reduced amount.

Great info. What's the difference between %70 and %100 both are life pension, right? Thank you for all the great info.
For max earner, 70 to 99 percent you get the amount on the chart paid out biweekly until done. Then the smaller life pension amount begins. For 💯 , you get your TTD rate for life.
@@GonzalezLawEmpower oh ok, thank you.
@@ROLALOS You're welcome
do we automatically get a award when i recover from my injury?
No, the amount of permanent disability depends on how much you have recovered. If you recover completely, you may not have any award. My video next week will explain in detail.

Hope this helps,
