Workers' Compensation
Appeals Board Amicus Briefs
We will soon post past CSIA amicus brief activity, including a narrative on the facts and results of each case.
Current Amicus Activity:
Jose Facundo-Guerrero vs Nurserymen's Exchange; Insured by Argonaut Insurance Company - In a case that received widespread public notoriety and extensive amicus participation, the 1st Appellate District has issued a surprisingly quick opinion in a legal challenge to the 24 visit cap for specific forms of treatment under Labor Code §4604.5(d). Argued in early May of 2008, the court decisively rejected arguments that the limitation on chiropractic, physical therapy and occupational visits was an unconstitutional limitation on the injured workers right to medical treatment.
