From initial consultation to settlement or trial, the key steps include reporting the incident, collecting medical records, identifying liable parties, negotiating with insurers, and pursuing litigation if needed.
Important terms used in workplace and catastrophic injury cases are defined below.

A damages rule that can reduce recovery if you are partly at fault for the incident, depending on California law and case specifics.

You may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation, and in some cases non-economic damages. The amount depends on injury severity, future care needs, and the liability issues involved. Our team helps calculate present and future costs to seek a fair settlement or judgment. We also consider potential workers’ compensation benefits and any available third-party liability claims.
In many cases, workers’ compensation is pursued alongside a separate personal injury claim if a third party caused or contributed to the injury. We assess the best path and coordinate between processes to avoid missing important deadlines. If a third party is involved, a separate claim may yield additional compensation beyond workers’ compensation.
California generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, with some exceptions. Workers’ compensation has its own timelines. Early consultation helps ensure you don’t miss critical deadlines and helps preserve evidence for your case.
Bring any accident reports, medical records, a list of treatments, proof of wages, and contact information for potential witnesses. If you’ve spoken to any insurance adjusters, bring notes from those conversations as well.
