Be sure to read your Notice of Court Hearing to check the location, as it may be different.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the Covid-19 Pandemic, the courthouse has been conducting many of their hearings online or through a teleconference system. This means that you are not always expected to show up at the courthouse. We will let you know when you must appear in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Where is the WCAB in Marina Del Rey? Where is Leo?&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WCAB is located right off of Lincoln Blvd. and Mindinao Way. The WCAB is right above Exer Urgent Care and in the same structure as Peet&#8217;s Coffee. 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Where do I park?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Courthouse Conduct&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WCAB functions like any other courthouse. You may not bring in any weapons and you should dress appropriately. You should dress in clothing you would wear to a 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u00bfD\u00f3nde est\u00e1 el WCAB? \u00bfD\u00f3nde est\u00e1 Leo?<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El WCAB est\u00e1 situado justo al lado de Lincoln Blvd. y Mindanao Way. El WCAB est\u00e1 justo encima de Peet&#8217;s Coffee y Exer Urgent Care. Desde el exterior, no puede aparecer como un palacio de justicia, pero paso dentro y tomar el ascensor hasta el segundo piso y encontrar\u00e1s las distintas salas de la corte. El \u00e1rea de espera donde Leo se reunir\u00e1 con usted es a la izquierda de los ascensores, y habr\u00e1 varias se\u00f1ales que apuntan hacia \u00e9l. No hay que tomar asiento y esperar a Leo a venir y encontrarte. Dependiendo de lo ocupado el palacio de justicia es, puede tomar un tiempo, pero \u00e9l est\u00e1 all\u00ed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u00bfD\u00f3nde puedo aparcar?&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Si usted conduce al corte, tenga en cuenta que el aparcamiento en el tribunal no es gratuito y no se reembolsar\u00e1 por el aparcamiento, ni tampoco el seguro. Hay un l\u00edmite de dos horas de aparcamiento y muchos lugares est\u00e1n reservados para los clientes el restaurante. Sin embargo, si usted tiene un cartel con discapacidad, se puede aparcar en el aparcamiento de forma gratuita. Le sugerimos que buscar aparcamiento en la calle en el \u00e1rea vecina. Aseg\u00farese de leer las se\u00f1ales, sin embargo, ya que hay d\u00edas de limpieza viaria y otras restricciones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Conducta Corte<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Las funciones WCAB como cualquier otro tribunal.
