WHY YOU NEED
A Workers Compensation Attorney
Workplace injuries can leave employees facing medical bills, lost wages, and uncertainty about their future. Unfortunately, employers and insurance companies don’t always make it easy to get the benefits you’re entitled to. A skilled workers’ compensation attorney can help protect your rights, guide you through the claims process, and ensure you receive the treatment and compensation you deserve. From the moment you contact us, we investigate your claim, explain your options clearly, and fight to maximize your benefits.
Once an injured worker becomes our client, we immediately begin a thorough investigation of the claim. We then walk you through the legal process, ensuring you understand your rights and are in the best position to secure the benefits you deserve.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
What is workers' compensation?
Workers’ compensation is a type of insurance that provides medical benefits and wage replacement to employees injured on the job. In most cases, it's a no-fault system, meaning you don’t have to prove your employer was negligent to receive benefits.
-
Can I sue my employer for a workplace injury?
Generally, no. In most cases, workers’ compensation is your exclusive remedy. However, if a third party (like an equipment manufacturer or subcontractor) contributed to your injury, you may be able to file a separate personal injury claim.
-
What benefits are available under workers’ comp?
Workers’ comp can cover medical treatment, lost wages, permanent disability, temporary disability, and vocational rehabilitation. Death benefits may also be available to surviving family members in fatal cases.
-
Do I need a lawyer to file a claim?
Not always—but if your claim is denied, your benefits are delayed, or you're offered less than you deserve, having an experienced attorney can make a major difference. We help ensure you get the full benefits you're entitled to.

Seek Benefits You Deserve in California
The California Workers’ Compensation Act ensures that injured employees are eligible for compensation regardless of fault. Workers may be entitled to receive payments for medical treatment, temporary or permanent disability, and vocational rehabilitation. In some cases, if your employer or insurer fails to meet their obligations, additional penalties or settlements may apply. With the guidance of an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer, you can ensure your claim is handled properly and maximize your potential recovery.
About Workers’ Compensation
Every Year, Thousands of California Workers Are Injured on the Job
Employees across all industries rely on their employers to provide a safe working environment. But when accidents happen — whether due to unsafe conditions, repetitive stress, or sudden injuries — workers may find themselves in pain, unable to work, and struggling to access the benefits they are legally entitled to. California’s workers’ compensation system is designed to support injured employees by covering medical costs, lost wages, and more. If your benefits have been denied or delayed, or you feel your rights have been violated, contact a California workers’ compensation attorney for help.
Over the years, I have successfully helped elderly men and women in California recover the compensation they deserved, allowing them to move on with their lives.
Financial abuse
It’s common seeing unusual activity in the elderly person’s bank accounts, unpaid bills, items missing, and signature falsification.

Tracking Workplace Violations & Employer Safety Records
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) maintains a searchable database of employers who have violated workplace safety standards or failed to protect employees from harm. Before accepting a job or during a workplace injury claim, this resource can be used to identify patterns of unsafe conditions or employer negligence. A workers’ compensation attorney can help you use this information to support your claim and advocate for a safer work environment moving forward.
