In California, workers’ compensation typically has its own deadlines and processes. Personal injury claims have their own statutes of limitations. It’s important to consult with a lawyer early to determine the correct timelines for your situation.
Having an experienced attorney helps you navigate complex rules, preserve evidence, and calculate all damages. An attorney can also negotiate with insurers to pursue a fair settlement and, if needed, prepare a strong case for trial.
Damages for catastrophic injuries may include medical care, rehabilitation, lost income, long-term care costs, and compensation for pain and suffering where allowed. Some claims also cover future medical needs and reduced earning capacity.

Bring identification, your employer’s details, accident report, medical records and bills, any correspondence with insurers, and a list of witnesses. Documentation helps us build a complete claim.
