Anyone involved in a Workers Comp claim, even if you already have an attorney, will benefit from reading this book. It's lengthy, but very worthwhile. This book will give you all the information you will need to make good decisions and to know what to expect during the whole process. You will find information that your attorney may not tell you! You need to know all of your options as well as your responsibilities.

I was injured at work a few months back and dozens of people have since told me the Governator's changes to Workers Comp came at the detriment of the injured worker. And my experience has certainly echoed that fact -- intentional and erroneous delays being in the name of profit -- it's completely ridiculous, and several doctors themselves have agreed.

I attended a seminar hosted - in effect, the State of California told me to sue the insurance company because of their blatant negligence. And all this because the Governator wanted California to be a friendlier place for corporations to do business. Well, that's all fine and dandy, but the changes came at the expense of the injured worker, and few will discover what a heinous mess this all is until a crisis arises. When an emergency hits, the last thing an injured worker should worry about is getting screwed - get this book AND and attorney. You'll need both and will probably still get screwed.

What a shame Workers Comp in California has been messed up for an entire generation. Hopefully someone who isn't in the pocket of the insurance lob- if you are amongst those unfortunate enough to be injured at work in the state of California, getting this book isn't an option -- it's a necessity.
