5 out of 5 stars Very well written introduction to Worker's Compensation.......2007-03-08

I was looking for a good introduction to worker's compensation and I'm glad that I settled on this book. It's very well written and organized and I've already recommended it to a few colleagues.

5 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know about Work Comp.......2007-01-12

If you are in business and have any significant worker's compensation premium. You need this book. I wish that I would have read it 10 years ago.

5 out of 5 stars Best Information.......2006-08-12

This book describes in detail information I have never gotten from my insurance agent. It gives you a detailed insight into the world of workers' compensation and has been very useful in helping me to make sure that what we do as a company is under the right classification. It would have been difficult to argue our case without the knowledge I obtained from this book. Worth every penny!

5 out of 5 stars Very good introduction to WC.......2006-03-22

I ordered this book to get an overview of the Workers Compensation Insurance Industry. This book is very good to get a glimpse of the WC Industry and provides the most important data. I recommend this book for everyone who wants to get basic information on the Industry.

5 out of 5 stars Nightmares.......2006-02-26

This book is an excellent review of the current system of workers compensation coverages. It is dead-on accurate in its description of the potholes one can encounter - NCCI ratings, premium audits and others. I thought Mr. Priz was generous in his kindness to auditors and underwriters, who are the source of most of the problems and also the solution to most of the problems.

I am going to buy several copies for my clients.

        5 out of 5 stars Workers Comp Injury? You need to have this book!.......2004-08-29

        I bought this book when I was first injured after getting so frustrated at not being able to get answers to my questions anywhere else. I searched the internet, talked to people, but I just kept going in circles. Then I discovered this book. It saved me. I have since hired a lawyer, however, you will feel more empowered and in control if you understand the process and the terminology. Plus, insurance companies try to "get away" with some things, assuming the average person won't know their workers comp rights. This book has saved me several times in that instance. (For example, they made doctor's appointments for me, sent me the info on their legal letterhead saying I was required to go to that particular doctor. Since I knew my rights from reading the book, I challenged them and didn't have to go to their doctor. Basically, I think they try these tactics just because most people aren't informed, and will just do what they say) It's so important to understand what is happening with your case, and what your rights are. I've been injured for four years, and find I research something in this book at least once a week. If you have a workers comp injury, you shouldn't be without this book! (Also, Nolo puts out a great book on filing for social security disability too) Best of luck to you!

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for all parties.......2004-02-12

        The average consumer has no idea of the laws and the rights he has when faced with an on the job injury.

        This book is easy to read and understand. I am a nurse case manager for workers comp injuries and found this book extremely helpful. I encourage all my clients to obtain this book even if they have a lawyer. It gives them a solid knowledge base when the docs, attorneys and insurance people are throwing terms around.

        It is well organized and follows a normal sequence of events. It was written by an attorney who handles workers comp cases.

        I highly recommend this book.

        5 out of 5 stars Best info. to help you "right the wrong" of W/C claims.......1999-03-14

        This book has so much vitually important information for the employee going through a worker's comp situation. It covers all from the begining to the end. THIS BOOK WILL GIVE YOU THE KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO FIGHT FOR YOUR LAWFUL RIGHTS -- DO NOT GIVE IN OR GIVE UP -- WITH THIS BOOK YOU WILL UNDERSTAND AND REALIZE THAT THE FIGHTERS ARE THE ONES THAT RECEIVE WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY/LAWFULLY INTITLED TO THEN.

        KEEP FIGHTING AND BELIEVING THAT 'JUSTIFICATION FOR EMPLOYEER'S WRONG DOING CAN BE ACHIEVED.

        READ THIS BOOK AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND!!!

        4 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of the basic rights of an injured worker........1998-07-08

        As a Workers' Compensation practitioner, this is the book that I recommend to all the aquaintances that ask for free advice. I also tend to recommend it to large companies that operate in CA and other states, because it gives the law and requirements in terms that a high school graduate can understand.

        There is more emphasis in this book on answers and "by the number" processes than legal precedent or analysis, which I find easier to follow for the lay person. Chris Ball also has a number of forms included with simple completion directions.

        If someone is looking for an overview with more legal justification or reference to statutes, the California Workers' Compensation Handbook is an excellent choice. This book by Stanford Herlick is updated every year, and has shorter sections with less hand-holding.

        I think that the Herlick paperback is the reference source of choice for the attorney or paralegal to carry in the car or briefcase for quick review of issues and solutions.

          5 out of 5 stars Workers Comp Victim review.......2006-07-31

          This book should be offered to injured workers after their first visit with an attorney who will represent them. It should also be among those on the "required reading" lists in every law school, where attorneys may enter the Workers Compensation practice. The accuracy of descriptions for various categories, (ie. Chronic Pain, etc.), are extraordinary. For the first time in the eight years that I have been dealing with the system, I was able to read what amounted to an all encompassing, yet clear and accurate description of my own dillemma. Truly an excellent book.
