Workers’ compensation provides medical care and wage replacement, while personal injury claims can pursue compensation from others at fault. Some cases involve both processes. Your attorney can explain which path offers the best recovery given your injuries and the facts.
In California, workers’ compensation claims have deadlines that vary by circumstance, and personal injury claims generally must be filed within two years of the injury. Missing deadlines can bar recovery, so it’s important to consult early.
Damages can include medical expenses, wage loss, future care costs, and, in some cases, non economic damages for pain and suffering. The availability of damages depends on the claim type and the facts surrounding your injury.
You can pursue a workplace injury claim without a lawyer, but having representation often improves outcomes. A lawyer helps with paperwork, negotiations, and, if necessary, litigation.
Most attorneys representing workplace injury clients work on a contingency basis, meaning fees are paid from a portion of the recovery. You typically pay nothing upfront, and fees are discussed during your free consultation.
Bring any accident reports, medical records, doctors notes, wage information, contact details for witnesses, and relevant insurer letters to a consultation.
Retaliation for filing a claim is illegal. If you face retaliation, an attorney can help document the conduct and protect your rights while pursuing your claim.
In some situations you can pursue a third party claim in addition to workers’ compensation. A lawyer can evaluate whether a non employer is at fault and advise on the best path.
A strong case typically shows clear liability, robust medical documentation, and demonstrable impact on income and future care needs.
We typically work on contingency. Fees and terms are explained during your initial consultation, with no upfront costs in most cases.
