No evidence needed. Let the lawyer deal with that stuff. In California, the evidence is what a QME says it is. A medical report is the evidence. The QME will look at all medical records and make a determination.

1. Search google there are plenty of comp attorneys out there.

2. They would easily be able to find a lawyer.

3. He literally said on his website he went to the industrial clinic at Apple! He even lost time from work! Due to his work injury!

4. It doesn’t matter who the employer is.they will comply with a subpoena.

5. He doesn’t need to know work comp law. That’s what the lawyer is for.

The bottom line is he has a work related injury. Even undocumented immigrants can get comp benefits.

The stigma and visa are the only real issues here. As to stigma and them asking why he left Apple: it was toxic. Maybe some employers won’t like that or it may cause immigration troubles but that is something an immigration lawyer can advise on. Maybe there is a disability exception, maybe not.

The fact is Apple will never change their behavior through hr. These employers only understand one thing: liability. That is how they change. If nobody files a claim nothing will change.

Talk to a workers compensation attorney. If this job was less than five years ago, don’t delay. It cost nothing! The attorney gets 15% when they settle the case.

Dude go talk to a work comp attorney. You don’t have to pay up front and this is a textbook stress claim, esp if six months employment. It’s sad nobody knows their rights. Your first clue is the fact that they were pressuring you to resign. NEVER RESIGN.

It sad he will be dealing with this stress for life but never thought that he should at least consult with an attorney??? THIS IS AMERICA. You think HR and those idiots are going to help you??

Anyone who has to deal with this crap, call an attorney!

The line about fundamental legal/moral principle being a broken promise is dead wrong. Who wrote this? Tesla has a horrible pr firm appareantly.

The fundamental principle is standard of care. One could say it was reasonably foreseeable this would happen since the driver reported it! Tesla was negligent and their best hope would be to show comparative fault by the driver. But forget negligence.

Products liability is strict liability. Someone died here. Causation is the only issue and imo it looks bad for Tesla.The fundamental premise of both moral and legal liability is a broken promise, and there was none here Very very stupid statement on their part. They should have quietly settled this. Bad pr and legally peroulous. As a shareholder this makes me question their competence to deal with these matters. They should fix the issue and settle. All the discovery and everything about mobile eye and radar. Horrible strategy by Tesla. It’s like they take it personal since auto pilot failed. People are dumb. It doesn’t matter if they warned him to keep his hands on the wheel. Someone died. There was an alternative design that was safer. Whoever wrote that statement should be fired

Im assuming you're in California? What health plan do you have? I know sometimes you can't get an appointment right away, but it really depends on the condition. I got diagnosed and needed surgery, and I don't go to the ER, but something called Urgent Care. Emergency is a nail in your head... But urgent care is for pain that needs to be dealth with.. ie - you took tylenol and advil, and it didnt work.

You should research Urgent Care centers through your health plan and have their address in your phone. That way, you can get the care you need in a timely manner.

I am so glad we have such good doctors, pharmacists, etc in California at least... they def are trying their best. It all just depends on the condition. If God forbid you get seriously ill, then you will get all the appointments you need. Yes there is usually some wait, but its not THAT bad.
