A work injury comes with two problems at once. There is the injury itself, and there is a claims process that most people have never dealt with before and have to learn while they are in pain.
Dr. Blossey has treated work injuries for over thirty years. You get a thorough examination, a treatment plan built around the findings, and documentation written properly from the first visit so your claim is not held up by missing records.

The first few steps decide how
smoothly the rest of it goes
Tell your supervisor straight away. California workers compensation runs on time limits, and a delayed report is the single most common reason a claim gets questioned. Report it even if the injury seems small, and even if you think you will be fine tomorrow.
Your employer is required to give you a claim form, the DWC-1, within one working day of learning about your injury. Fill in the employee section and return it. Keep a copy for yourself with the date on it.
Many employers use a Medical Provider Network, which is a defined list of providers approved to treat work injuries. Whether you can be treated here depends on your employer’s arrangement. Call us with your employer’s name and we will check before you come in, so nobody wastes a visit.
Report it the day it happens. Everything after that is easier.

Work Injuries
Dr. Blossey has treated work injuries since 1996 and knows how these cases run.
Reports written accurately and on time, because a late or vague report delays treatment authorization.
Call with your employer’s name and we will find out whether we can treat you before you make the trip.
You will know what the plan is, how long it is expected to take, and what the goal is for returning to work.
If you are not improving the way we expect, we say so and refer rather than keep treating.
The same doctor examines you, treats you, and writes the reports. Nothing gets lost between visits.
