California Dreaming Of A Streamlined Workers’ Comp Procedure

On Dec. 2, 2015, married couple Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik opened fire at a staff meeting and luncheon taking place at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, CA. Farook, a health inspector with the San Bernardino Department of Public Health, and his companion killed 14 coworkers and injured 22 others before fleeing the scene in an SUV and later being killed in a shootout with law enforcement. For the unfortunate workers who were injured that day, getting full redress through the state’s workers’ compensation system has been difficult.
