In addition to workers compensation defense, we diligently litigate MPN issues, post termination and good faith personnel action defenses, AOE/COE disputes, medical treatment disputes, and cases involving California Labor Code 132a and Serious and Willful Misconduct. We also handle cases involving suspected fraud or non-industrial injuries, working closely with SIU to prepare fraudulent cases for submission to the appropriate county District Attorney.
