Workers' Compensation Attorney in Los Angeles

A painful injury wasn’t in your job description. You deserve to be compensated fairly, and teaming up with a workers’ compensation lawyer can greatly increase your chances. Our attorneys understand the price for pain is infinite, which is why we’ll fight tirelessly to recover every penny you’re owed.

Here are a few situations that may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits:

• Head injuries (e.g., concussions, brain injuries, and skull fractures)
• Other acute physical injuries (e.g., broken bones, herniated spinal discs, torn ligaments)
• Occupational diseases and impairments (e.g, mesothelioma, hearing/sight loss)

California’s Division of Workers’ Compensation allows injured employees to recover the following:

• Medical expenses (including equipment, medication, and doctor visits)
• Temporary disability (for lost wages during your recovery)
• Permanent disability
• Retraining
• Death benefits (in the unfortunate case of a wrongful death)

Unfortunately, even if your claim is valid, your employer or the insurance company could be complicating the process. If you find yourself in this situation, we may be able to help.

Insurance companies and callous employers will do everything in their power to avoid paying you what you’re owed. They might suggest the injury came from a previous condition or even accuse you of fraud. However, a denied claim isn’t the end of the road: You still have the option to appeal. 

In California, you can appeal a workers’ compensation denial by requesting a hearing in front of your local Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board. A judge will make a ruling on whether the insurance company is obligated to accept your claim. 

Our attorneys can guide you through the appeals process from start to finish.

We believe that everyone should be able to afford legal representation, regardless of financial status. That’s why our team operates on a contingency, meaning we get paid only when you do. Our fee comes out of the favorable settlement or jury award, so you never have to stress about paying out of pocket for our services.
