Three ways people come to Fundamentals. All of them start in the same place: what counts as an injury, and when it is compensable.
Get the vocabulary and the doctrines straight before your first appearance. Compensability is where every argument begins.
Know what the injury allegation actually claims, and which rules decide whether it stands.
Cumulative trauma liability and the statutory presumptions move. This is the current position, taught from Sullivan on Comp.
Worth being clear about what you are buying before you enroll.
WCLP01 on its own does not earn the certification. It counts toward it, and toward Fundamentals.
Training for people who practice in this area. It does not replace judgment on a live file.
California statute, regulation and case law throughout. Other states work differently.
No. The three certifications can be taken in any order and there are no prerequisites. Most people start with Fundamentals because compensability underpins everything that follows.
Modules 1 to 9: compensability, affirmative defenses, AOE/COE doctrines, the scope of medical care, temporary disability, the permanent disability schedule, apportionment, permanent disability payment, and death benefits.
Yes. 9 hours of participatory and 38.5 hours of self-study California MCLE across the nine modules.
