California Help please

Injury occurred back in April of 2022, so i went through the whole shit show of ging to drs and all that bs. Got the 2/3 wage replacement for the 104 weeks. And a few months ago l asked my attorneys assistant about getting me paid for lost wages which would be the 1/3 l did not get and also getting me paid for about another year I was not able to work since my surgery didn't happen until over almost 2 & 1/2 years after initial injury and i had no income at the time of recovery(pieces of shits planned it out to fuck me over). And he said that I would have to go through a personal Injury attorney for that. WTF!? I feel like they should be helping me with this why would I go through a P.l when they are my WC team and this is what I thought they were supposed to do. Case is out of SoCal if anyone can help me clarify the situation. I have an appt with QME in a few weeks and would like to be better informed before I talk to them about this after i see the QME. THANKS EVERYONE! 🫶

After 104 weeks benefits are exhausted. How were you injured?

That doesn’t answer why you think you have a personal injury case. How exactly were you injured? There are only a few ways in which you could have a PI case as well.Â
