Gary Alan Jackson

I have a strong interest in medicine and the law. Workers compensation law is a natural fit for me and I am blessed to be able to work with both doctors and lawyers every day. My interest in medicine definitely provides me an edge, a greater understanding, of my clients injuries and how the long term effects of a work injury can dramatically impact the ability to work and earn a living. in my practice of work comp law I am routinely questing doctors about their diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plans. This is very challenging yet very rewarding and it certainly results in consistently better and more just settlements for our clients.

Q. Can I add a new back injury to an existing CA WC claim from 2022?

May 21, 2025

A: You never said how the back injury is tied to the shoulder injury or whether the back symptoms are due to cumulative injury from daily work activities. Either way you are facing a denial of the back. An experienced worker’s compensation attorney can turn the denial into an accepted injury case. Call one asap!

Q. Can I file for workers' compensation after missing the deadline due to incarceration?

May 3, 2025

A: Yes. Its possible. It’s better to consult a lawyer directly with such a question than here.

Q. Can my employer require me to see my PCP before company doctors for a work injury?

April 29, 2025

A: It is not the doctor you see that matters but who they bill. For potential work injuries, work comp insurance is the proper party to bill for medical services. If your employer is paying 100% of the bill then you can see any doctor. But the claim still needs to be filed with the insurance company and the workers compensation appeals board ( work comp court). You should consult an experienced worker’s compensation attorney to learn more.
