employer ic question

[meyea]

How do I find out if my employer was insured before 2008 and what company they were insured with in california ?

employers are required to post information about their work comp carrier in a prominent place accessible to all employees.
past coverage information can probably be obtained from an Information & Assistance officer

my employer never posted wc ic information until I filed a claim . Now the ic is telling me that my employers coverage began in 02-2008.My claim is dated back 03-2007 . The ic is telling me that I might have to get coverage through the ic they had in 2007 .
My injury is not getting any better . Can I see my own doctor until they figure this out ? and will I be reimbursed ?

I work as a admin for a construction co.I am the person who has to make sure that every year we update our state wage/ wc law poster on the wall so that it is visable to all employees. There is a fine if it is not posted or updated. I am surprised that there was never one hung in the breakroom, hallway or whatever area there is that it is visable for all employees to see. There is a fine for this if they do not comply.

There was a WC poster...but no insurance information on it . When I asked my supervisor for a DWC1 form , she didn't know what it was .She said she would have to get back to me with that information . The next day I asked her again for one and she said she didn't have any .
Should I try to find out what insurance they had back in 2007 ? or should I leave it up to my adjuster ?

as i stated in prior posts and is contained in the guidebook: while they are investigating the claim you get $10,000 in medical coverage.
go to you own treating doctor and they will authorize
see the guidebook pg 26 & 27.

the employer is required to report any claim to the carrier who had the coverage on the date of the injury.

I just found out that my Ortho claim was denied because my employer was not insured at that time . Can I collect UEF . Wher do I begin ? Should I get an attorney ?

[1171]

File a UEF claim.you can file thru the I/A office or get an atty who will file the form.
