The Work Injury Handbook

We apologize!

Due to the recent changes in the laws regarding California workers' compensation procedures (new laws were passed in 2003 and 2 more times in 2004), we are in the process of re-writing our popular handbook to include all these new laws and regulations.

We expect to have the 3rd edition of our handbook ready for distribution soon! If you'd like to be put on our waiting list (there is NO obligation and no advance money is requested), please email us by CLICKING HERE. We will notify all those on our waiting list as soon as the book is offered (with a special added discount!). Thank you for your understanding... and patience.

And, in the meantime, if you'd like some idea of what to expect in our new edition, feel free to review the material below, describing our earlier (now discontinued) editions!
The Work Injury Handbook
A "MUST-READ" for Injured Workers !

The 2nd edition of this easy-to-read handbook explains how to handle a California workers' comp. case and stay sane!   It's 96 pages (plus all the forms you'll need - including the new ones in 2003!) and takes you step by step through a claim, explaining all terms and strategies you need to know!   ...with just enough humor to keep you awake!   You'll get answers to such questions as "How much is my case worth?" "Can they fire me while I'm on workers' comp.?" "When can I settle and how?"

With the information in this handbook, you can either handle your own case or watch over your lawyer and know what's going on! !   We're sure you'll agree there's nothing like it available anywhere!   And we ship it Priority Mail, so you can expect it within 2-3 days!   Here's just a sample of the feedback we've received from injured workers, trade unions, doctors, even lawyers...
