I was told to file an appeal with the Workers Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB). What is it, and what does it do?
If you, your employer, or your employer’s WC insurance carrier disagrees over issues regarding your WC claim and you wish to appeal that disagreement, contact the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB), the California state agency through which you file your appeal. A judge from the WCAB will hear both your side and your employer’s side of the issue and make a determination regarding your case. The information and Assistance Officer at the WCAB can provide more information about the WC appeal process and your right to file an appeal.
