This program provides an overview of the determination of disability, including basic vocabulary and foundational concepts necessary to understand how disability is evaluated, discussed, and contested in workers' compensation cases. Laura Rosenthal of Laura Rosenthal Law guides attendees through the framework California practitioners use to assess and challenge disability findings, drawing on key statutes and illustrative case law. Topics include the legal definitions of impairment versus disability, how medical evaluations translate into legal conclusions, and where disputes most commonly arise. Attendees leave with a working command of the disability determination process and the vocabulary to navigate it confidently. Audio versions of Beverly Hills Bar Association programs are eligible for Self-Study CLE credit in California.
