None

Dr. Gilbert Lang, Dr. Richard Gravina, Dr. Blaine Johnson, Dr. Robert Weinmann. All of these doctors are AME qualify and they have been very good to me, even as AMEs. For PM&R, Dr. Michel Henry will give you the moon. So will Dr. Ana Salinas and Dr. Ethylinda Jaojoco, but hard to get a final report .

After several surgeries, he was on the verge of being declared P&S when, while returning home from a medical appointment, he was involved in a head-on collision with a drunk driver: injured both shoulders, low back and neck. Multiple surgeries and over 10 years of TTD ensued. William Ramsey has been defense QME the entire time - rates 67% with 25% apportionment to prior back surgery which occurred 15 years before IW began working as a heavy construction worker. Applicant's first QME moved out of State years ago. Second QME recently retired. He found IW precluded from returning to work because of heavy opiod use (orthopedic PD ratings were actually lower than Dr. Ramsey's) and refused to address apportionment without records relating to prior back surgery. I was unable to locate prior surgery records nor were either defense firms, Mullen & Filippi for initial carrier (until policy limits reached) and Hanna Brophy for present carrier. Psyche QME Alberto Lopez has also found that IW is precluded from returning to work. I asked orthopedist Dr. Joseph Matan to evaluate IW but, after he received the stacks of medical records two weeks ago and noted the multiple body parts involved, he called and informed me that, at age 77, he simply is no longer able to undertake such an complicated evaluation and is returning the records. Are there any liberal/fair orthopedic QMEs left in Northern California? Thank you for your assistance. Robert Gonzales _.___.__ _.___.__

Look under physical medicine and rehab for Dr. Melinda Brown.  She is great and she never gets turned down by UR.

Labor Code Section 1198.5 Inspections must be allowed at reasonable times and intervals. To facilitate the inspection, employers must do one of the following: (1) keep a copy of each employee's personnel records at the place where the employee reports to work, (2) make the personnel records available at the place where the employee reports to work within a reasonable amount of time following the employee's request, or (3) permit the employee to inspect the records at the location where they are stored with no loss of compensation to the employee. http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/faq_righttoinspectpersonnelfiles.htm Here's the penalty if they do not comply: (k) If an employer fails to permit a current or former employee, or his or her representative, to inspect or copy personnel records within the times specified in this section, or times agreed to by mutual agreement as provided in this section, the current or former employee or the Labor Commissioner may recover a penalty of seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) from the employer. (l) A current or former employee may also bring an action for injunctive relief to obtain compliance with this section, and may recover costs and reasonable attorney's fees in such an action. (m) Notwithstanding Section 1199, a violation of this section is an infraction. Impossibility of performance, not caused by or resulting from a violation of law, may be asserted as an affirmative defense by an employer in any action alleging a violation of this section. http://law.onecle.com/california/labor/1198.5.html Looks like there is a civil remedy apart from Comp sanctions.  Good luck!

Crazy WCJs we have in Sacramento (it was Thiessen) - the DA is not the Custodian of Records and did not even represent the employer at the time. I thought that this CNR would work to my advantage, first of all because it is false, second because the employer had no proof that my client was fired and why she was fired. Employer simply says she was "terminated - standard of conduct violation". The Employer website says standard of conduct violations are showing up for work drunk, taking bribes, cursing at customers - big stuff. My client was Store Manager, at home on disability, when her supervisor came in to do an Audit. She could not defend herself. There were a couple of operations numbers that she had not met (operations like customer satisfaction and sales) because she was on disability. (By the time she came to me, it was SOL for 132a.) Anyway, I though this CNR would help. for eg. Evid Code 413, the inference being that that evidence withheld by a employer in possession of such evidence entitles injured employee to inference that the evidence, if produced by employer, would be against the employer's interest.  Also, that employer could not prove she was fired "for cause". As it turns out the CNR exonerates employer FedEx from having to prove anything because the CNR proves Employer does not possess any evidence whatsoever, except a payroll register that says "terminated - standard of conduct violation". So, if I had to do it over, I would let the order stand, not do anything to compel production, then see how the lack of records will help you when the case resolves, or doesn't. Money Sanctions or evidentiary sanctions, something like that. M. Hollie Rutkowski, RN, JD, MBA, Esq.

William Morris Date: February 26, 2011 8:29:00 AM Subject: Re: Does benson backfire on co-d's when last carrier settles Reply to list Reply to sender Print I did this once (Richard Morris).  It was quite satisfying to get payment on the same injury twice.  I settled with last in line for almost what the injury was worth then argued with Morris about what I was supposed to get for the first injury.  Had Robine for judge (now does ombudsman for union carve out), who kept saying he just wanted everyone to get along, and kept telling us to go back and get further medical reports.  I made everyone in the room laugh when I suggested he was going to have to do his job and try the case.  Finally went to an AME who put the entire disability on the the first injury.   Considering the players, I was more than happy.  I'd say that if you get what you almost think you are entitled to receive from the last defendant, go for it.  Usually splitting up injuries is a bad idea as the defendants then go fully against the empty chair. wsmorris Turlock, Ca From: Joann Attard-Helvig <johelvig@sbcglobal.net> To: Statewide List Service <lawnet@lawnet.caaa.org> Sent: Sat, February 26, 2011 1:44:02 AM Subject: Does benson backfire on co-d's when last carrier settles Ok this is actually fun to think about but what do you think- let's say there are 3 defendants and the same er and body parts. Prior to my repping 2 defendants had p&s reports from their qme's and each admits injury and liability. Then I come along, file a ct to last doi, agree to ame with last defendant only and the doctor says one ct to last date of work. I have 53percent old schedule on last doi - I don't have 70 combined and leboeuf will be difficult. But last defendant offered 100k to c&r. Is there any danger with settling with the last defendant? Let's assume after I do, I join forces with the last defendant with whom I settled and show her where the bodies are buried- I.e., there were years of ttd supporting separate Injuries and we convince our ame that there really were these other dates of injury causing disability after all.  The co-d,s own reports say so.  Then I get the 100k and future med for my client.  The reason I want to do this is cuz I'm pissed at ciga and might just leave them as the last defendant standing since they are not offering a dime and neither is the other co def. Will this backfire in any obvious way I haven't considered? Cigas qme is Joseph matan who is still doing qme's and the other co-d I think was dr. Silberman not sure he's still around. And my ame stated at depo that he might find other injuries if someone showed him exactly what dates my client was Ttd. Normally I try to settle all but I 'm not inclined to settle with d's that don't offer me $$$. Joanne helvig --- You are currently subscribed to lawnet as: wsmorris@pacbell.net .

From: Carl Kreibich < carlk@bendergritz.com > Date: Wed, July 31, 2013 1:46 pm To: "Statewide List Service" < lawnet@lawnet.caaa.org > List: lawnet Sent by: Carl Kreibich Search Apart from the subpoena rights under the WCAB, there is a separate statutory obligation for the employer to allow the employee access to his/her personnel file: California law requires that employers allow employees and former employees access to their personnel files and records that relate to the employee's performance or to any grievance concerning the employee. Labor Code Section 1198.5 Inspections must be allowed at reasonable times and intervals. To facilitate the inspection, employers must do one of the following: (1) keep a copy of each employee's personnel records at the place where the employee reports to work, (2) make the personnel records available at the place where the employee reports to work within a reasonable amount of time following the employee's request, or (3) permit the employee to inspect the records at the location where they are stored with no loss of compensation to the employee. http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/faq_righttoinspectpersonnelfiles.htm Here's the penalty if they do not comply: (k) If an employer fails to permit a current or former employee, or his or her representative, to inspect or copy personnel records within the times specified in this section, or times agreed to by mutual agreement as provided in this section, the current or former employee or the Labor Commissioner may recover a penalty of seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) from the employer. (l) A current or former employee may also bring an action for injunctive relief to obtain compliance with this section, and may recover costs and reasonable attorney's fees in such an action. (m) Notwithstanding Section 1199, a violation of this section is an infraction. Impossibility of performance, not caused by or resulting from a violation of law, may be asserted as an affirmative defense by an employer in any action alleging a violation of this section. http://law.onecle.com/california/labor/1198.5.html Looks like there is a civil remedy apart from Comp sanctions.  Good luck!

List: lawnet Sent by: Hollie Rutkowski Search I got into similar situation. I hope what happened to me does not happen to you. I wanted WCJ to compel release of records. Instead, the WCJ allowed the DA to sign a Certificate of No Records for the Employer. Crazy WCJs we have in Sacramento (it was Thiessen) - the DA is not the Custodian of Records and did not even represent the employer at the time. I thought that this CNR would work to my advantage, first of all because it is false, second because the employer had no proof that my client was fired and why she was fired. Employer simply says she was "terminated - standard of conduct violation". The Employer website says standard of conduct violations are showing up for work drunk, taking bribes, cursing at customers - big stuff. My client was Store Manager, at home on disability, when her supervisor came in to do an Audit. She could not defend herself. There were a couple of operations numbers that she had not met (operations like customer satisfaction and sales) because she was on disability. (By the time she came to me, it was SOL for 132a.) Anyway, I though this CNR would help. for eg. Evid Code 413, the inference being that that evidence withheld by a employer in possession of such evidence entitles injured employee to inference that the evidence, if produced by employer, would be against the employer's interest.  Also, that employer could not prove she was fired "for cause". As it turns out the CNR exonerates employer FedEx from having to prove anything because the CNR proves Employer does not possess any evidence whatsoever, except a payroll register that says "terminated - standard of conduct violation". So, if I had to do it over, I would let the order stand, not do anything to compel production, then see how the lack of records will help you when the case resolves, or doesn't. Money Sanctions or evidentiary sanctions, something like that. M. Hollie Rutkowski, RN, JD, MBA, Esq.

Prior to my repping 2 defendants had p&s reports from their qme's and each admits injury and liability. Then I come along, file a ct to last doi, agree to ame with last defendant only and the doctor says one ct to last date of work. I have 53percent old schedule on last doi - I don't have 70 combined and leboeuf will be difficult. But last defendant offered 100k to c&r. Is there any danger with settling with the last defendant? Let's assume after I do, I join forces with the last defendant with whom I settled and show her where the bodies are buried- I.e., there were years of ttd supporting separate Injuries and we convince our ame that there really were these other dates of injury causing disability after all.  The co-d,s own reports say so.  Then I get the 100k and future med for my client.  The reason I want to do this is cuz I'm pissed at ciga and might just leave them as the last defendant standing since they are not offering a dime and neither is the other co def. Will this backfire in any obvious way I haven't considered? Cigas qme is Joseph matan who is still doing qme's and the other co-d I think was dr. Silberman not sure he's still around. And my ame stated at depo that he might find other injuries if someone showed him exactly what dates my client was  Ttd. Normally I try to settle all but I 'm not inclined to settle with d's that don't offer me $$$. Joanne helvig --- You are currently subscribed to lawnet as: samswift@ix.netcom.com .

"Joann Attard-Helvig" Date: February 26, 2011 2:07:00 AM Subject: Does benson backfire on co-d's when last carrier settles Reply to list Reply to sender Print Ok this is actually fun to think about but what do you think- let's say there are 3 defendants and the same er and body parts. Prior to my repping 2 defendants had p&s reports from their qme's and each admits injury and liability. Then I come along, file a ct to last doi, agree to ame with last defendant only and the doctor says one ct to last date of work. I have 53percent old schedule on last doi - I don't have 70 combined and leboeuf will be difficult. But last defendant offered 100k to c&r. Is there any danger with settling with the last defendant? Let's assume after I do, I join forces with the last defendant with whom I settled and show her where the bodies are buried- I.e., there were years of ttd supporting separate Injuries and we convince our ame that there really were these other dates of injury causing disability after all. The co-d,s own reports say so. Then I get the 100k and future med for my client. The reason I want to do this is cuz I'm pissed at ciga and might just leave them as the last defendant standing since they are not offering a dime and neither is the other co def. Will this backfire in any obvious way I haven't considered? Cigas qme is Joseph matan who is still doing qme's and the other co-d I think was dr. Silberman not sure he's still around. And my ame stated at depo that he might find other injuries if someone showed him exactly what dates my client was Ttd. Normally I try to settle all but I 'm not inclined to settle with d's that don't offer me $$$. Joanne helvig
