What should I do after a workplace injury in California?

Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible, get medical attention, and keep records of what happened, your symptoms, and any communication with your employer or their insurance company. The sooner things are documented, the stronger your claim will be.

Can my employer fire me for filing a workers' comp claim?

No. California law prohibits retaliation against employees for filing a workers' compensation claim. If you believe you've been fired, demoted, or otherwise punished for filing a claim, you may have additional legal options beyond your workers' comp case.

What if my claim was denied?

A denial isn't the end of the road. Insurance companies deny claims for many reasons, some more legitimate than others. We review denied and disputed claims to see what options are available, including appeals.

Do I need a lawyer for my workers' comp case?

Not every case requires an attorney, but insurance companies have their own lawyers working to limit what they pay out. Having someone in your corner who knows the system can make a meaningful difference, especially if your claim is denied, disputed, or involves a serious injury.

What does it cost to hire your firm?

We work on a contingency basis, meaning there's no upfront cost to you, and we only get paid if we recover benefits on your behalf. Consultations are free.

What counties do you serve?

We represent injured workers across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura counties. We handle California state workers' compensation claims only, not federal or USPS claims.
