Workers Comp Zone

NPR ON STEVENS

NPR has produced a segment that focuses  in part on the situation of Frances Stevens, whose case is pending at the California Court of Appeal.

Here is the link to the NPR webpage so you can listen or download the program transcript:

I’d also recommend David DePaolo’s latest blog piece, “Year of Awareness”,

DePaolo discusses a recent Mother Jones article on corporate attempts to limit medical treatment in workers compensation. 

The Mother Jones article by Molly Redden is titled ” Walmart, Lowe’s, Safeway, and Nordstrom are Bankrolling a Nationwide Campaign to Gut Workers Comp” (see link below).

Here is a link to DePaolo’s blog post:
