Golden State Workers Compensation

I hired Golden State Workers' Comp and attorney Ryan Davis for my WC case (bilateral carpal tunnel). In my experience, he avoided the hard work and pushed a quick, low first offer. * I had ~$8,000 in late TTD that should have been penalized, yet I kept being told to "sign, sign, sign" a $25,000 settlement based on 10% PD. * That 10% was calculated using the wrong PD schedule--4 weeks per percentage point instead of 5 weeks per point. * I later learned the opposing attorney said I was at 12% and asked for my settlement demand--a fact my attorney never told me. At 12% on the correct schedule (5 weeks/pt), that's 60 weeks, which came to about $17,400--but I was only ever pushed toward the flat $25,000. * Worse, after fees/costs and offsets, my take-home on that $25,000 would have been around $11,000. * After I threatened judicial review because my concerns weren't being addressed, the attorney withdrew/recused--and I was still urged to accept the same low deal. * When I obtained and reviewed my full file myself, I realized my true rating is 66% under the 2014 schedule. By my calculations, that's about $153,120--not a 10% case. Bottom line: In my opinion, this representation pushed a quick, low settlement while skipping the heavy lifting (pursuing penalties for late TTD, using the correct schedule, and actually negotiating after the defense invited a demand). Your recovery depends on the attorney you choose--and based on my experience, this is not the one who will get you the money you're entitled to.

I am satisfied with the level of professionalism I received from Golden State Workers Comp. Mr. Ryan Davis, Royce Roxas, and Chris Cahilig were all very helpful and truly cared about my case and well being. Thank you.

Let me start off by saying this law firm is awesome and did everything necessary to assist me in this case. I had a change of address and also many other things happen while pursuant of this case. The attorneys and assistance were very knowledgeable and understanding they worked with me through the whole case staying in contact the whole time. Until it was over and in the end they were able to WIN and give me what I deserve if you need a workman's comp attorney this is who you need to be represented by. I appreciate everything they did for me. Thank you .

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Chris, Tino, attorney Ryan, and attorney Robert. I have worked with these four amazing individuals for 2 different work injuries over the last 2 years and received a reasonable settlement for both. Golden State Workers Comp has genuinely gone above and beyond to take care of me, ensuring I had a realistic understanding of the potential outcomes. I would really like to recognize Chris for his invaluable client-relationship skills and demonstration of top-tier commitment and empathy while working with me during both cases. I genuinely appreciate the time that was taken to thoroughly discuss the work comp process which helped me understand the options I had. Whenever I had a question or had any issues with my jobs during both of my cases, Chris and Tino were quick to respond and adept in handling the situation. Chris and Tino also made sure to provide me with important updates with both of my cases as they occurred. Attorneys Robert and Ryan Davis are extremely knowledgeable in their discipline and they were prompt in responding to my emails and equipped me with all the necessary information and resources to ensure that I had a solid understanding before I made a sound and rational decision on both of my cases. If you need legal representation for a work injury, I highly recommend Golden State Workers Compensation. You will be treated with the utmost respect as an injured worker and they will take care of you to get you the best possible outcome for your case. I will absolutely reach out to this firm again should I find myself suffering from another work injury in the future. Thank you Attorney Ryan, Attorney Robert, Chris, and Tino!

I just got off the phone with Chris, manager. Even though I have an attorney, he spent almost an hour on the phone with me. He answered all my questions, continually asked if I had any more, and didn't end the call until I had all the information I needed. My attorney hasn't returned my calls and message in over a week. Thank you Chris and Golden State Workers Compensation.
