Yes. In California, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation for medical treatment and a portion of lost wages, and you may also pursue a separate civil claim for third-party negligence if someone other than your employer caused the injury. An attorney can help determine which route applies.\nIt’s important to document injuries promptly, follow medical advice, and preserve communication with employer and insurers to strengthen any claim.
In California, workers’ compensation claims follow specific timelines and procedures, while civil claims have different deadlines. Most claims must be filed within set timeframes, and failing to meet deadlines can affect eligibility. We review your case to identify applicable deadlines and help you meet them.\nStarting early also helps preserve evidence and position you for a stronger result.
Whether you need a workers’ comp attorney or a personal injury attorney depends on who caused the injury and what damages you seek. We assess the facts to determine if a workers’ compensation claim or a third-party personal injury claim (or both) is appropriate.\nOur team guides you to the path that offers the best chance for full and fair compensation.
After an injury, document everything: injuries, medical visits, incident reports, photos, witness statements.\nKeep a log of all expenses, time off work, and communications with your employer and insurer to support your claim.
Not all cases go to trial. Many settle through negotiations, but we prepare thoroughly for trial if needed. Our goal is to secure a fair settlement, while being ready to proceed to court if a settlement cannot be reached.\nYou can rely on clear explanations and steady advocacy throughout the process.
Fault in workplace accidents can involve employer negligence, shared fault, or third-party negligence. We review reports, surveillance, and witness accounts to determine liability.\nEvidence like incident reports, maintenance records, and medical documentation helps support your claim.
Construction site injuries require careful review of site safety rules, equipment maintenance, and training. Liability may involve contractors, site owners, or manufacturers of defective equipment.\nWe investigate comprehensively to identify all responsible parties and maximize recovery.
California is a comparative fault state, which means your recovery may be reduced by your own degree of fault. We evaluate all factors and work to protect your rights to full compensation where possible.\nWe explain how fault could impact your claim and seek the best possible outcome.
Many law firms offer free initial consultations and work on a contingency basis for personal injury cases. We review cost arrangements upfront and discuss how fees are handled if you pursue a claim.\nThere are typically no fees unless we recover compensation for you.
We provide regular updates, clear explanations, and a dedicated contact person for your case. You can expect responsive communication and professional guidance throughout the process.\nYour questions will be answered promptly, helping you feel informed and supported.
