Yes, you should consider hiring a lawyer even if the incident happened at work. An attorney can assess whether a third-party or employer liability exists, negotiate with insurers, and protect your rights. We offer a free initial consult to discuss options.
Compensation typically covers medical expenses, wage loss, and non-economic damages for pain and suffering. The amount depends on injury severity, fault, and the impact on your life. An attorney can help maximize the recovery by documenting all losses.
Workers’ compensation provides benefits for medical care and partial wage replacement regardless of fault, while a personal injury claim seeks compensation from responsible third parties. In many cases you can pursue both, but timing and rules differ.
Personal injury claims typically must be filed within two years in California, though workers’ compensation claims have different timelines. It’s important to talk with an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect deadlines.
Please bring photos of the incident, medical records, any accident reports, contact information for witnesses, and any workers’ comp claim numbers. Also bring questions and a list of expenses you have incurred.
Most workplace injury cases are resolved outside court through settlements, but some may go to trial if a fair offer isn’t reached. We prepare thoroughly for either outcome.
Attorney fees are often on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and the fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict. We discuss fees during the free consultation.
Partial fault can affect the amount you recover depending on comparative negligence rules in California. Your portion of fault may reduce your damages. Our team reviews fault and helps preserve your rights.
