CalWorkersComp.Blog is published by Charles R. Wear, JD, retired attorney.

This is the work I did many years ago when I was a certified workers' comp specialist.

I managed the workers' compensation department for the firm that owned Larry H. Parker's brand.

I live in Needles, California and I provide news information and education about the workers' compensation system in California.

The things that I predicted many years ago have pretty much come to pass.

If you have questions about a workers' compensation claim, I suggest you talk to a licensed attorney at law.
