The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board
More than 95% of our Workers’ Compensation cases are tried at
the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) in Marina
Del Rey, although there are a few exceptions. Be sure to read
your Notice of Court Hearing to check the location.
Where is the WCAB in Marina Del Rey? Where is Leo?
The WCAB is located right off of Lincoln Blvd. and Mindinao
Way. The WCAB is right above Panera Bread and Wahoo’s Fish
Taco. From the outside it may not appear to be a courthouse, but
step inside and take the elevator up to the second floor and you
will find the various court rooms. The waiting area where Leo will
meet you is to the left of the elevators, and there will be several
signs pointing towards it. There you must take a seat and wait for
Leo to come and find you. Depending on how busy the courthouse
is, it may take a while, but he is there.
Where do I park?
If you drive to the courthouse, be aware that parking at the
courthouse is not free and we do not reimburse for parking, nor
does the insurance. There is a two hour parking limit and many
spots are reserved for restaurant patrons. However, if you have a
disabled placard, you can park in the lot for free. We suggest you
search for street parking in the neighboring area. Be sure to read
the signs, though, as there are street cleaning days and other
restrictions.
Courthouse Conduct
The WCAB functions like any other courthouse. You may not
bring in any weapons and you should dress appropriately. Dress in
clothing you would wear to church or a job interview. The CHP is
in charge of security at the courthouse, so there are always police
present. Be on your best behavior, as any sort of deviance can hurt
your case.
