Labor Code Section 132a Claims and Serious & Willful Violations
With recent changes in workers' compensation laws, and with the decrease in permanent disability benefits, we expect a significant increase in petitions alleging violations of Labor Code Section 132a and employer's Serious and Willful violations. These return to work issues are now a bigger potential minefield than ever before. With the increase of DFEH litigation, these claims are also much more complex to defend. It is imperative that employers have an attorney experienced with these overlapping issues to defend their interests.
I recognize that what an employer does today may impact or possibly even prevent one of these claims from being successful tomorrow.
Due to my experience in Employment Law I am well versed in the overlapping areas.
Please let me help your employers create policies which may lead to the successful prevention of a claim being filed, as well as the vigorous defense of such a claim in litigation.
