Most workers’ compensation paralegal services are completed on a same-day basis, subject to document availability and court deadlines. Tasks such as Notices of Hearing, Proofs of Service, deposition notices, WCAB correspondence, and routine filings are usually turned around within hours. More document-intensive tasks, such as medical indexing or lien reviews, may require additional time, which is always communicated in advance. Our workflows are designed to support time-sensitive matters common in workers’ compensation practice.

Yes. GSB Paralegal supports both defense and applicant-side workers’ compensation matters. Our role remains the same regardless of representation type, focused strictly on document preparation, filing support, correspondence, and case organization under attorney instruction. We do not provide legal advice or case strategy, ensuring that attorneys on either side retain full control over legal decisions and advocacy.

We prepare and serve Notices of Hearing (NOH), Minutes of Hearing (MOH), and all related Proofs of Service in compliance with procedural requirements reflected in EAMS. This includes handling amended, cancelled, and rescheduled hearings. Our support ensures that all parties of record—attorneys, lien claimants, injured workers, Prior AA’s (Applicant Attorney), and DA’s (Defense Attorney)- receive timely and properly documented service, reducing the risk of procedural disputes or missed appearances.

Yes. We assist attorneys by preparing pos for DOR’s and e-filing Declarations of Readiness to Proceed for Status Conferences, Mandatory Settlement Conferences, Lien Conferences, and Expedited Hearings. Each DOR is e-filed based strictly on the attorney’s instructions. We ensure filings are complete, accurate, and aligned with procedural expectations before submission to the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board.

When a case is set prematurely, we prepare objections to the DOR, as per the dictates of the attorney on various grounds such as incomplete discovery, pending medical reports, or unresolved procedural issues. These objections are served on all parties of record with proper Proof of Service and Verification along with Exhibits. This support helps attorneys preserve procedural rights and avoid unnecessary hearings when the case is not yet ready.

Yes. We handle all administrative correspondence related to Panel Qualified Medical Evaluations (PQME) and Agreed Medical Evaluations (AME). This includes preparing and serving panel letters, appointment notices, strike letters, and Proofs of Service. Our role is limited to documentation and preparing a medical index for doctors, ensuring medical-legal processes move forward smoothly while attorneys retain full control over medical strategy and disputes.

Medical and employment-related records are handled through secure, access-controlled workflows. Only authorized paralegals assigned to a case can access sensitive documents. Files are organized carefully to maintain confidentiality while ensuring attorneys receive review-ready materials. These controls are particularly important in workers’ compensation matters, where medical privacy and employment data require disciplined handling.

Yes. We conduct lien searches through EAMS and prepare lien affidavits identifying claims filed by medical providers, hospitals, EDD, and other lien claimants. Organized lien documentation allows attorneys to assess exposure, prepare for lien conferences, and address settlement issues more efficiently.

GSB assists with the preparation and e-filing of Pre-Trial Conference Statements, Orders Approving Compromise and Release (OACR), awards, and other settlement-related documents. Each filing is prepared in a structured, review-ready format and served with proper Proof of Service, supporting smooth case resolution and reducing last-minute corrections.

New cases are entered into Merus Case Management with complete party details, dates of injury, venue information, and hearing calendars. This structured setup allows attorneys and legal teams to track deadlines, hearings, and case progress without administrative gaps.

Yes. We place SDT record requests with approved copy services for medical, employment, and wage records required for case development. Requests are tracked to help attorneys monitor outstanding records, and regular follow up are done via email for pending SDT records.

No. GSB Paralegal provides document preparation and procedural support only. All legal analysis, strategy, client communication, and filing authority remain entirely with the attorney of record. This ensures compliance with professional responsibility and unauthorized practice of law (UPL) standards.

Yes. Our workflows are designed to scale for firms handling high-volume workers’ compensation caseloads. Whether managing routine filings or complex procedural coordination across multiple cases, our paralegal support helps firms maintain consistency, accuracy, and deadline compliance.
