Hi there, this is my first post so I will put up as much info as possible. I live in California I have a full time job as an equipment manager for a construction company owned by my father, I also own my own business that I work evenings and Friday Saturday. I have a web site that sells parts for race cars and I build them and anything else custom. I was injured on may 5th while working for the construction company. I feel that the workers comp people are doing there part, they have found a position for me at there office since I am modified duty and have adjusted my schedule to one I am use to so I have time to deal with my business. Unfortunately I have had to just about stop a major project I have been working on and have had to hire people to come out and do the work I should be doing and getting paid for. I have also had to turn away a considerable about of other business knowing that I will be unable to start the project or even finish what I have now. My question is what are my rights in recovering these losses? I am really hesitant to call an attorney I am not looking to do anything that will hurt the family construction business but feel that the workers comp insurance should be compensating me some how for my business loss, I have lost almost half of my income since the injury. What should I do? I have talked to the insurance company and provided them with proof of this income and answered all of there questions but I can no longer get a response from them if I call or email.
