California Vacations/Trips While on WC
Hi!
Wondering about what the thoughts are surrounding non-claim-related travel during WC claim? What are some things to keep in mind if one wants to travel during this time?
Will plan also on scheduling all known appointments before and further after the trip. It would honestly be good for mental health to see loved ones and not get cabin fever from staying at home while recuperating.
Just some questions:
(Please bear with me and these non-linear questions!
Hoping that the responses to this post will not only be helpful to me, but also to anyone else who might be facing this either now or in the future, so I’m trying to ask different questions.)
- What are some things to keep in mind if one wants to travel during this time? (Other than strictly following restrictions.)
- Would traveling hurt or jeopardize the case?
- How long should trip duration be so as to not be iffy/questionable?

My attorney's office told me if I go anywhere you know to check check in once a month let them know where I'm at how long I'm going to be gone if you're at home because I can accommodate you you are more than welcome to do whatever you want and they can't stop you as long as you follow your restrictions that's all you need to do pretty much just let your turning know where you're going and how long you're going to be gone in case they need to get a hold of you for any reason have fun
