After a workplace injury, seek medical attention promptly and document everything from the scene. Notify your employer and keep records of all medical visits and expenses. Then contact a Napa injury attorney to review your rights and options. A lawyer can help you understand deadlines and coordinate with insurers. The right guidance can make a meaningful difference in recovery and compensation.
