“Eman at Yazdchi Law was extremely professional, responsive, and supportive at all times. He and his staff exceeded all of my expectations.”

✦ Board-Certified Specialist in Workers’ Compensation Law — State Bar of California ✦
When the insurer denies your fusion or lowballs your post-op rating, you need a board-certified specialist who understands the surgery and the statute.
Spinal fusion is one of the most expensive — and most aggressively denied — procedures in California workers’ compensation. From the initial Utilization Review battle to the post-operative DRE Category IV–V impairment rating, every step of a fusion claim is contested. Eman Yazdchi handles ACDF, PLIF, TLIF, ALIF, and multi-level constructs, fights apportionment to pre-existing degenerative disc disease, and secures lifetime future medical for hardware care and adjacent segment disease.
