Zoom Evaluations

Diaz & Company is excited to announce that we have recently completed a renovation and remodel of our headquarters in Pacifica, California. Another exciting step is that Diaz & Company has started the use of Zoom for our vocational evaluations. We have begun switching our in-person evaluations at Attorney offices to Zoom evaluation from the injured workers’ homes. This has allowed for increased time and work efficiency, lessened travel time by both parties, and a more comfortable evaluation location for the injured worker. We look forward to providing more updates soon!

Frank Diaz Presents at CWCDAA Conference

Mr. Frank P. Diaz, CDMS, Jeffrey Fettner, Esq., and Mellissa Schafer, Esq. presented at the California Workers’ Compensation Defense Attorneys’ Association (CWCDAA) 2012 Summer Conference in Las Vegas, California on June 1, 2012 regarding Vocational Strategies for Reducing Permanent Disability. Topics discussed were the options available to Defense Attorneys in order to combat Labor Code § 4662, i.e., Amenableness to Rehabilitation (Return-to-Work Programs). Return-to-Work Programs for an injured employee, in all likelihood, would actually increase their imputed earnings; thereby, lowering their Diminished Future Earnings Capacity (DFEC), and possibly reducing the injured employee’s 100% Rating. The presentation reviewed the Cordova, Wen, Wright, and Dahl Decisions. For referencing, I have included PDF links to the following Decisions: Jesus Cordova v. Garaventa Enterprises and SCIF Xue Feng Wen v. Gagmar’s, Inc. and Springfield Insurance John Wright v. BCI Builders, Inc. and SCIF Doreen Dahl v. Contra Costa County and Permissibly Self-Insured Please see below links for Attorney Mellissa Schafer and Jeffrey Fettner’s websites: Mellissa Schafer, Esq.: http://www.hinshawlaw.com/mschafer/ Jeffrey Fettner, Esq.: http://www.rflattorneys.com/Attprof_Fettner.php
