Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I live in Southern California. I was injured while i was working and i got many illness and disability from it. 4 years ago, i met two AME doctors. The neurologist gave me 31% disability and stopped my treatment. The orthopedics gave me 28% and in the decision he told me to get permanent disability money. In a week i recieve $220. I appealed to the judge and was able to get more treatment. Four years passed. In the second AME decision, The orthopedics gave me the same percentage of disability and the neurologists gave me the same as well. The internal medicine doctor(not the AME) gave me 37% disability. However, the insurance company's internal medicine doctor told me my disability and illness wasnt from the injury from work but from before that. In the 3rd hearing, the laywer gave me 67% and said to make a settlement. However, i said "No." My attorney dropped out of my case. I have the proof(medical reports) that my illness is work-related. Who do i have to tell this story with my proof to whom and where? P.S. Do i have to send the reports to the judge or to the AME doctor?

work injuries are covered only by Workers Comp. You posted to a panel of civil litigation attorneys, having nothing to do with WCAB. You need to promptly consult with a WCAB attorney to see if and what you can do.
