Workers’ Compensation Firm Represents Injured Employees in California

​

SKILLED ATTORNEYS SEEK BENEFITS FOR WORKERS HURT ON THE JOB IN CALIFORNIA

When you become injured or ill during the normal course of your employment, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation. Most employers are mandated by state law to carry this no-fault insurance program, which provides employees with benefits that cover medical costs, lost wages, and rehabilitation expenses when an on-the-job injury prevents them from performing their normal work duties. The experienced attorneys at The Law Offices of California Injury, PLC, help workers get fair compensation for injuries and illnesses sustained on the job by assisting with applications and appealing denials. We are committed to helping you get the payments you need when you need them.

​

RESULTS-ORIENTED CALIFORNIA WORKERS’ COMP LAWYERS SEEK THE BENEFITS YOU’RE ENTITLED TO

While workers’ compensation benefits are provided by employers’ insurance companies, those benefits are mandated by state law, with some exceptions that may depend on the company’s size, type of business, and work done by employees. While benefits vary by jurisdiction, they most often cover:

• Medical, hospital and rehabilitation expenses

• A percentage of lost wages

• Compensation for permanent disability

• Costs of retraining

• Dependents’ recovery for a worker’s death

 

It’s important to notify your employer as soon as possible after you’ve sustained an on-the-job injury. Neglecting to do so could affect your ability to claim the benefits you deserve.

​​

DEDICATED ADVOCATES ASSIST WITH YOUR WORKERS’ COMPENSATION APPEAL

The companies who underwrite workers’ comp policies are like all insurance carriers: their goal is to limit liability and pay as little as possible in claim benefits. That’s why it’s essential you’re represented by an experienced workers’ comp attorney who knows the laws governing workers’ comp in California and can help you appeal a denied claim for workers’ comp. You have a limited time to appeal the decision, so it’s important to seek help as soon as possible. We will investigate the reasons for your denial and guide you through the often complicated process of appealing the decision, which may involve appearing with you at hearings before the state’s workers’ compensation board.

​

KNOWLEDGEABLE COUNSELORS ADVISE ON THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS

If you are eligible for benefits under the workers’ compensation system, you cannot file a separate negligence action against your employer. Workers’ compensation coverage reimburses victims for medical costs, lost wages and rehabilitation expenses. It does not pay for other types of damages available in personal injury actions, such as compensation for pain and suffering. When you believe that someone besides your employer bears some fault for your work-related injury, such as the manufacturer in a defective product case, we can advise whether you may have a third-party claim that will allow you to seek damages in addition to your workers’ comp benefits.

DILIGENT LAW FIRM STRIVES TO HOLD ALL LIABLE PARTIES ACCOUNTABLE AFTER A WORKPLACE INJURY

Most people understand that job-related injuries are covered through the workers’ compensation system, which provides benefits for medical expenses and lost wages. However, many serious industrial accidents are caused by the negligence of third parties, such as the manufacturers of faulty equipment. When this occurs, we also bring personal injury actions against the people and entities responsible for the incident that injured you. These actions allow for additional damages, such as pain and suffering.

California Injury Attorneys Seek Justice for Construction Site Accident Victims

​

SKILLED LAWYERS HELP INJURED CONSTRUCTION WORKERS IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA RECOVER COMPENSATION

Construction sites are inherently dangerous workplaces. In fact, one out of five worker deaths in the United States involves construction workers. Every ladder, walkway, platform or scaffold has the potential to seriously injure a worker at the site. If you’ve been injured on a construction site, the experienced  injury lawyers at The Law Offices of California Injury, PLC will seek the compensation and justice you deserve for the harm you’ve suffered. We represent workers injured on sites in the Encino area and throughout California so they can get the damages they deserve.

​

CALIFORNIA ADVOCATES HANDLE A RANGE OF CONSTRUCTION INJURY CLAIMS

Nearly every item, tool or machine on a construction site is capable of causing injury, especially when mandated safety procedures are not followed by site owners. Workers may suffer injuries caused by:

• Falls from scaffolds or platforms

• Falling equipment such as hammers, saws, and other construction tools

• Burns and electrocution

• Exposure to dangerous materials, including  toxic chemicals

 

The most common causes of work site deaths are falls, falling and moving objects, electrocutions, and workers getting caught or stuck in between surfaces. Our attorneys represent injured workers and their families regardless of the cause of the accident.

Those who have been hurt on California construction sites will have different legal rights and remedies depending on the cause of their injury. Depending on who is responsible for the actions or conditions that caused your injury, our attorneys will either be able to help you file a workers’ compensation claim or bring a third-party claim.

​

EXPERIENCED WORKERS’ COMPENSATION ATTORNEYS GUIDE CLIENTS THROUGH WORKSITE ACCIDENT CLAIMS

Workers’ compensation is a no-fault insurance system in which employers provide benefits for injured workers. This process is the standard way for injured construction workers to get their medical bills and other costs paid when they’re injured on the job. Although each state has its own workers’ comp regulations, benefits generally cover medical bills and partial wages for the duration of the time that you are injured and unable to work. There may be limits on which doctors you can visit, how much you can recover per week and the duration of payments. Our attorneys strive to get injured construction workers the benefits they are entitled to under California law.

 

​ADVISERS ASSIST INJURED WORKERS WITH THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS FOR COMPENSATION

While the law prevents workers from suing their own employers, it does not prevent lawsuits against other people or companies on a construction site. Workers are frequently able to bring negligence claims against other contractors, subcontractors and property owners for injuries sustained on a construction site. Our lawyers will work with you to decide whether bringing a negligence claim against a third party is an option in your case.

​

COUNSELORS HELP FAMILIES AFTER FATAL CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS

When a construction accident is fatal, our attorneys can help the victim’s family get justice. Families might be entitled to workers’ compensation death benefits that include reimbursement for final expenses and wage replacement. If the accident was tied to a third party’s negligence (as opposed to the victim or employer), we will assist your family in bringing a wrongful death lawsuit that seeks compensation for a range of losses that aren’t included under workers’ compensation.

California Attorneys Represent Victims of Repetitive Stress Injuries

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION LAWYERS ASSIST CLIENTS IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA INJURED BY REPEATED MOTION AND LONG-TERM EXPOSURE

The lawyers at The Law Offices of California Injury, PLC, represent employees in the Southern California area and throughout California who develop repetitive stress injuries on the job over the course of months or years of work. Workers’ compensation doesn’t just apply to those who suffer single accidents on the job: it also provides benefits for employees who become injured due to repetitive motions caused by repeated tasks or extended exposure. With these types of injuries, workers may sustain damage to their wrists, their backs, their knees, and other body systems over the course of their employment. If you have suffered a work-related injury due to repetitive motion or long-term exposure, our knowledgeable and trustworthy attorneys can help you pursue the benefits you deserve.

 

CALIFORNIA ADVOCATES HANDLE A RANGE OF REPETITIVE MOTION CLAIMS

Our bodies aren’t designed for factory work or office jobs where we must repeat the same motions over and over again. Those actions can strain muscles and tendons, even when there is no heavy lifting involved. In fact, an activity as basic as typing can cause a debilitating condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome. This injury affects the median nerve, which runs the length of the arm, passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, and ends in the hand. Carpal tunnel symptoms such as tingling and numbness in the fingers and pain in the wrist and hand are common reasons for extended absences from work.

We have successfully helped injured workers get workers’ comp benefits from their employers for these and other types of repetitive motion injuries:

• Tendonitis

• Bursitis

• Back strain and disc injury

• Knee and ankle injury

• De Quervain syndrome (inflammation of the tendons that control thumb movement)

• Epicondylitis (tennis elbow)

 

If you’ve suffered one of these injuries or another condition related to your work activity, we will seek the compensation you deserve for medical costs, lost wages, and other losses covered by workers’ compensation.

​

PROVEN LITIGATORS HANDLE CLAIMS INVOLVING LONG-TERM EXPOSURE

In addition to handling claims for clients who’ve suffered repetitive stress injuries, our firm represents workers whose long-term exposure to environmental conditions on their jobs have injured or sickened them. We are advocates for employees such as factory workers who’ve suffered hearing loss due to sustained loud noises or have been injured from repeated exposure to machinery vibrations. We also handle claims for workers whose jobs require them to handle chemicals when they’ve suffered toxic exposure over time. In these and other situations, our experienced attorneys will help you through the process of applying for workers’ compensation benefits and appealing a claim denial.
