Re: serious and willful misconduct

Your WCAB attorney should discuss 'serious and willful' rules and penalties with you. YOu have what is like a PI case against your employer if there were serious safety violations causing your injury. IF you have serious injury and damages, then it may be worth pursuing. Contact me if you need counsel to do so.
