Helping our Client’s Use California Workers’ Compensation “Employer’s Bill of Rights”
Are you an employer frustrated by workers’ compensation claims that are fraudulent or improperly paid by the insurance company
CalWorkSafety & HR’s legal team can file a formal objection to certain Workers’ Compensation claims on an employer’s behalf using the Employer’s Bill of Rights, Sections 3761 and 3762 of the California Labor Code. For example, if the employer believes the claim is fraudulent, or the treatment is out of line, or has another legitimate objection, such as:
- The injured employee started a fight and that fight caused the injury
- The injured employee was drunk or under the influence of illegal drugs which caused the injury
- The claim was filed after the employee was told of a layoff or was terminated
- The insurance company plans to pay an excessive amount of money to settle the claim, which will result in a high experience mod for the employer
CalWorkSafety & HR will utilize the Employer Bill of Rights to protect the employer’s interests, filing a written objection with both your insurer and the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board. We will use the process to determine what information the insurer has in its files and why it may have set its reserves so high. We may find it necessary to call witnesses at the WCAB hearing, and attend settlement sessions between the insurance company and the lawyer for the injured employee. We will object to an unreasonable settlement offer. In cases where we prevail, our client has their experience mod funding restored and attorney’s fees paid by the insurance company.
