In California, workplace injuries are typically covered by workers’ compensation, which provides medical care and partial wage replacement. However, some circumstances allow additional claims for third-party liability or permanent impairment, so it’s important to review your options with an attorney. Our team helps you understand what you may qualify for and how to pursue the right path. We evaluate your medical needs, job duties, and the impact on daily living to determine the best strategy for recovery.
Timelines vary by claim type and complexity, but forgotten deadlines can bar recovery. For workers’ compensation, there are notification and medical filing requirements. For personal injury claims, statutes of limitations apply and may involve a shorter window after the injury or discovery of the injury. We help you identify deadlines and stay on track. Getting an evaluation early can prevent missed opportunities and set a clear plan of action.

Bring identification, any notices from your employer or insurer, medical records or bills, accident reports, witness contact information, and a list of questions. If a police report exists, bring that as well. The more documentation you provide, the better we can assess your claim.
