California | Workers Comp
Legal Question
Cause of action: employer? company physician?
I am told the State of Ca does not allow litigation of employers by employees injured on the job. Can I file a suit against my employer for liability based on the fact they could not provide necessary staff to handle the work load?
And can could I have a cause of action against the company Dr. for putting me back on the floor. My initial exam on the injury incurred @ work took me off work for a week, and placed me on strong pain Rx's. That same day I was seen by the company Dr, who agreed with the 1st treating Dr, but ordered me back to work, but to keep taking the pain Rx.
I am now receiving workmens comp and being well treated medically for a ruptured disc T1, and severely bulging C7,C8. I was injured in Oct of '99.
Surgery is pending for a neck fusion.
Thank you for your input.
