Workers Compensation

A Workers Compensation Attorney is a special Attorney who litigates workplace injuries. Regardless of the occupation of a worker, he or she is at risk for an injury on the job at any time. The injury may be immediate, such as a truck driver getting involved in an accident or a construction worker falling down from a building under construction. An injury can happen as a result of repetitive work over time, such as a stocker suffering a back sprain from repeated heavy lifting as part of his heavy lifting job duties or an office worker being diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome due to overusing their wrist for typing or answering phones.

Workers Compensation Attorneys deal with workplace injuries that happen to workers when they are at work, on company property or in an assigned company business location, which requires medical treatment and may or may not necessarily require the employee to take time off.

By law, every employer is to make adequate arrangements for employee compensation. Workers' compensation is usually provided by an insurance policy providing temporary disability and medical benefits to the injured worker.

An employee is required to report a work injury within 24 hours to assert his or her right to workers compensation medical treatment under California law. If the claims are accepted, the injured worker will receive a written notice stating the compensation benefits to which he is entitled and other required information regarding the claim. If the claim is denied, the injured worker will be sent a detailed written notification stating why such claims are denied and outlining the right of the injured person to file an application for adjudication at the local Workers Compensation Appeals Board office.

Victims of workplace accidents should obtain the services of an attorney who will advise and guide them.

Workers Compensation Attorneys can help clients navigate the difficult workers' compensation claims process, starting with a free consultation. They also help educate employees on the extent of the benefits included in workers' compensation law in the following areas:

  • Medical treatment
  • Temporary disability payments
  • Permanent disability payments
  • Lump-sum payment options
  • Housekeeping assistance
  • Home Medical Care

Importantly, sometimes legitimate workers' compensation claims may be denied by aggressive insurance companies. They may claim that the victim was not injured, or that the injury the victim suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers' compensation benefits. Therefore, if not carefully handled, the injured worker may lose critical benefits, including emergency medical care and temporary disability benefits.

It is important to have an attorney as close as possible to the beginning of the claim who will represent the worker in the Workers Compensation Appeals Board should the employer or the employers' workers compensation provider deny the injured worker their benefits.

In short, Workers Compensation Attorneys can help injured workers resolve their claims and obtain much needed, life enhancing benefits from their employers and their employers' workers' compensation insurance providers, as provided by California Workers Compensation law and the Constitution of the State of California.
