Premier Southern California employee attorney

Chavez v. Brinks, Inc.
State of California Reconsideration Unit
In April of 2008 we established an employee's right to select their own treating physicians. This case overturned the trial court, and reverses the manner in which courts have erroneously implemented California law since January 2005. The State of California Reconsideration Unit declared that Californians may not be prohibited from treating with physicians of their own choice.

Salgado v. County of Orange
State of California, Dept. of Industrial Relations, Reconsideration Unit
In May of 2008 we established that not only do employees have a right to select their own treating physician, but that the reports of such physicians are admissible as evidence in court. The County’s attorneys tried to bar the injured worker’s medical reports. The trial court gave a victory to the injured worker, but the county’s attorney would not take no for an answer and appealed -they lost. In doing so, they provided the opportunity for the State of California, Reconsideration Unit, to proclaim that “the reports of treating physicians”, even those outside of the MPN, are “unquestionably admissible”. All of California's injured workers now benefit from this case.
