Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

Workers Comp and vacation

I was injured at work. I am required to go the the company doctor and that is fine. What I am questioning is the company does not pay for time off for doctor visits or rehab if needed. I would have to take vacation time to go to the workers comp doctors. Is that right?

Mr. Mahurin is correct. If you are in his area, then you should probably give him a call. However, if you are in the Los Angeles area, then feel free to contact my office at 818.385.0520 for a free consultation.

If your case has not settled, then you may be entitled to temporary disability for the days you miss. If your case has settled, then you get no reimbursement for lost time. Temporary Disability Starts after the third consecutive missed day of work in an unsettled case.
