Questions
What does workers' compensation cover in California?
Workers' compensation covers medical treatment, wage replacement, and rehabilitation costs for workplace injuries regardless of fault. It also provides death benefits to dependents in fatal work-related accidents.
How do I file a workers' compensation claim?
Report your injury to your employer immediately, seek medical treatment, and complete a claim form. Our attorneys can help ensure proper documentation and timely submission to the insurance carrier.
What if my employer disputes my workers' comp claim?
We will represent you in disputes with employers or insurance companies, handling all communications and negotiations to protect your rights and secure the benefits you deserve.
Can I sue my employer for a workplace injury?
Workers' compensation typically prevents direct lawsuits against employers. However, we can pursue third-party liability claims if your injury involved defective equipment or non-employer negligence.
How much does a workers' comp attorney cost?
Our services operate on a contingency fee basis - you pay nothing upfront. We only collect fees if we successfully recover compensation for your case.
