It was so great to catch up with our Northern California office and had a very nice lunch this week. Staying connected is so important! Megan Brown and Michael LaSota went up to San Jose to see Tameka Saxton, Michelle Leigh Kral and Tiffany Day.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of delivering some holiday cheer to two new amazing families. Partnering with The Department of Social Services Adopt-a-Family program for the 3rd year in a row, and with the assistance of some awesome donations from our very own KHL employees & firm, we helped make these special families Christmas a little brighter. Seeing the joy on these families faces is the biggest gift of all. Emily Maguire & Starlin Rex Oldaker III had the best day! A very big thank you to everyone that helped make this so special. Happy Holidays to you and yours! #thankyou #khllawyers #adoptafamily #DPSS #happyholidays2021 #workerscompensation #workerscomp #workerscompensationinsurance

From Peter Karlin: I thought there might be people out there in our industry that just want to chat about Comp, life, and the pandemic. Physical distancing does not mean social distancing so maybe this will be helpful during these crazy times. Our firm was ready for this pandemic and everyone has been working from home since March 12th. #workfromhome #workfromanywhere #inthistogether....we have been working in all types of industries, from transportation to retail to logistic...s...and everything in between. We do a lot of construction work, but I wonder about the business of construction and how it will change, if at all. I believe trucking and all types of transportation and delivery are going to be the busiest industries in the near future. What other industries do you think will need our help the most in the coming months and years? Please share your thoughts...about comp, life and the pandemic. We posted the blog on our website @ See more

We've added an easy and accessible PDF of the full executive order to this news posting for you to reference. Please reach out to any of us if you have questions.

There’s that presumption word again... stay tuned. #workerscomp & #covid19 Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order Wednesday that will make it easier for essential workers who contract COVID-19 to obtain workers’ compensations benefits in a win for labor unions that called for the change.... The order streamlines workers’ compensation claims and establishes a rebuttable presumption that any essential workers infected with COVID-19 contracted the virus on the job, Newsom said. In effect, the change shifts the burden of proof that typically falls on workers and instead requires companies or insurers to prove that the employees didn’t get sick at work. #KHLlawyers #presumption #workerscompensation https://lnkd.in/gDpXjJw
