Can Co-Workers Testify in a California Workers' Compensation Case?
Some workers’ comp cases are not approved. Your claim may be denied by your employer or their insurance company for various reasons. If this occurs, it may be necessary to initiate a workers’ compensation lawsuit. [1]
- You need to provide evidence that the injury occurred during work hours.
- It will be necessary to demonstrate adherence to all medical treatment.
- It will be necessary for you to provide evidence of a temporary or permanent injury.
In California workers’ compensation cases, other employees can provide testimony. Testimony from co-workers or other employees who witnessed the incident or have knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the injury can be valuable in supporting the injured worker’s claim.
Their testimony can help establish the cause and extent of the injury, as well as any relevant factors that may affect the claim, such as unsafe working conditions or inadequate training. [2]
