In California, claim deadlines vary by claim type. For workers’ compensation, deadlines apply to reporting and filing. A timely consultation helps ensure you don’t miss important dates.
Often a settlement is possible where liability is clear and compensation covers medical expenses and lost wages. If liability is contested or you disagree with a offer, filing a lawsuit may be considered.
Workers’ compensation provides medical care and some wage replacement, while a third-party claim seeks additional damages not covered by workers’ comp. Both options may be pursued together.
Many cases settle before trial, but some require court action to secure a fair outcome. We prepare for either path and update you on progress.
Most personal injury matters are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and fees are paid from a portion of the recovery.
