What are the key deadlines in California Workers’ Comp? Missing one could cost your case. In this episode, we cover the strict timelines and, as Bilal explains, how the wrong doctor or waiting too long to switch can leave you without care or benefits.    This is Episode #121 of Work Comp Talk, Part 2 of our Special Workers’ Compensation Webinar Series, hosted by Carmen and Bilal. This series was created to give injured workers in California the clarity and tools they need to navigate this complex system with confidence.  We break down the deadlines that can make or break your case timelines the insurance company will never warn you about. We also uncover the truth about insurance doctors and why choosing (or changing) the right physician early is essential to protect both your health and your benefits.  We address one of the biggest misconceptions too: filing a claim is not suing your boss. Workers’ comp is an insurance process, and protecting your wellbeing and your family must always come first. Finally, Carmen and Bilal explain how attorney fees really work, and why getting legal help doesn’t cost you out of pocket but can safeguard your future.    What you’ll learn:  <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW178087207 BCX8" role="list"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW178087207 BCX8" role="listitem" aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props= "{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"> The most important workers’ comp deadlines and how missing them can cost you your case.  </li> </ul> <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW178087207 BCX8" role="list"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW178087207 BCX8" role="listitem" aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props= "{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1"> The truth about insurance doctors and what they may not tell you about your injury.  </li> </ul> <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW178087207 BCX8" role="list"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW178087207 BCX8" role="listitem" aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props= "{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1"> How to choose or change your doctor in the Medical Provider Network (MPN).  </li> </ul> <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW178087207 BCX8" role="list"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW178087207 BCX8" role="listitem" aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props= "{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="4" data-aria-level="1"> Why filing a workers’ comp claim is not the same as suing your boss.  </li> </ul> <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW178087207 BCX8" role="list"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW178087207 BCX8" role="listitem" aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props= "{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="5" data-aria-level="1"> How attorney fes really work in California workers’ comp cases, and why legal help doesn’t come out of your pocket.  </li> </ul>   Chapters: 00:00 – Why deadlines in workers’ comp are critical  01:00 – Filing your case and the statute of limitations  02:00 – Deadlines you cannot miss during your claim  03:00 – “Secret #2”: Insurance doctors are not impartial  04:30 – Choosing the right doctor from the MPN list  07:00 – Real case example: cumulative trauma denied  09:00 – How and when you can change your doctor  10:00 – Finding strategies to protect your case  11:00 – “Secret #3”: Filing a claim is NOT suing your boss  13:00 – Why small businesses may take claims personally  14:30 – Understanding insurance vs. employer responsibility  15:30 – Your health, your future, and your family come first  16:00 – How attorney fees actually work in workers’ comp  17:00 – Closing thoughts: your rights and protections    This episode is sponsored by Pacific Workers, The Lawyers for Injured Workers, the trusted workers’ compensation law firm in Northern California.
