In this special episode of 'Work Comp Talk,' hosts Eric and Bilal reunite after a long hiatus to discuss the backstory and development of Pacific Workers, their law firm specializing in workers' compensation. The episode kicks off with the two reminiscing about the last time they recorded together, which was before the COVID-19 pandemic, and the adjustments they've had to make along the way. After a light-hearted joking about COVID experiences and whether Carmen, their usual co-host, is missing out on vacation, they dive into the main topic: the founding of Pacific Workers.

Eric and Bilal recount their initial encounter, which humorously they exaggerate to dumpster diving behind a Wendy’s, but actually took place in an elevator at the Oakland Work Comp Appeals Board in late 2013. They both quickly realized that their respective lines of work in sports management and work comp defense could make for a unique partnership. The conversation then shifts to Eric’s intriguing past working with high-profile athletes and rappers like Tupac Shakur, Eazy-E, and Biggie. This work provided Eric with valuable experience in managing challenging clients, which he has carried over to their current practice.
