WCAB

WCAB stands for the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board. It is an administrative agency that reviews and resolves disputes related to workers' compensation claims, which involve benefits workers receive if injured on the job. When parties disagree over aspects like benefits, medical treatment, or disability status, they can appeal to the WCAB. The board evaluates these cases based on evidence and legal standards, ensuring fair enforcement of workers' compensation laws. Its goal is to provide an impartial and efficient resolution process for both employees and employers involved in work-related injury claims.
