Workers’ compensation covers medical care and wage loss due to a workplace injury, typically without fault. A civil claim can pursue additional damages if a third party is involved.
In many cases, you can pursue a civil claim alongside workers’ comp if a third party is involved or if fault lies with non-employees. We review options with you.
Wage replacement is based on the extent of lost wages and state rules. Our team can help you calculate eligible benefits and time limits.
Many lawyers offer free consultations and work on a contingency basis. You typically pay nothing upfront and only receive a fee if we recover funds for you.
Case timelines vary by complexity, but many workplace injury matters in California are resolved within months to a couple of years with the right strategy.
Evidence such as medical records, incident reports, photos, witness statements, and payroll documents strengthens your claim.
While workers’ compensation may not require a lawyer, having a local attorney can improve handling of complicated medical issues and potential third-party claims.
If a third party caused the injury, you may have a separate civil claim to pursue alongside workers’ comp.
