ca workers comp under ciga want to request buyout? does anyone have any idea how i could get this done:?
injured in 1998, case closed in 2001 – the workers comp ins companies went bankrupt (2), i ended up with lifetime medical for my back with no cash settlement because the california insurance guarantee was covering my case by then.
i have fought for many years to get medical care, it is always a huge problem and many docs stop taking after some time. bills don’t get paid and phone calls don’t get returned for months, even after calls to supervisor.
i don’t know how to go about getting this type of case settled & closed. i’ve advised the ins co who maintains my claim on behalf of c.i.g.a several times that i would like to settle my case because of these problems, but i am always denied. any ideas ?????
sounds like you need an attorney, there are tons that do this, i get one that is really good.

IMHO… drop it. YOu are not getting any offer to close the medical
in your claim because they don’t have to. There is no cash value to
your medical eligibility. Medical treatmetn in WC is based on
necessity, and per the MTUS/ACOEM treatment guides, and UR process.
Not even a judge, IF you had an atty, could order cash paid to
close the medical in your stipuated claim. You’re just going to
have to get the treatment as you can through your PTP and possibly
the dispute resoulution process… Panel QME or hearing if
necessary.
