No Recovery No Fee
In Workers Compensation Cases, you will not pay any attorney fees unless and until you receive a settlement or award.
Why do I need a Lawyer?
Navigating through the legal system without a lawyer is like trying to perform a medical operation on yourself. Do not rely on the information being provided to you by the insurance company. You need to consult an attorney to be advised of your rights and you are entitled to maximum compensation. Obtaining an attorney does not endanger your job status. In fact, your job is more secure with the assistance of an attorney. Without an attorney, you rights will not be protected, and your compensation will be at a minimum.
Get Medical Treatment
The most valuable benefit in Workers' Compensation is Medical Treatment. Under the law, you are entitled to the best medical treatment available. Without an attorney, you will be provided the medical treatment that is most cost effective to the insurance company. With an attorney, you will be provided the best medical treatment to obtain maximum medical recovery and get you back to work as soon as possible. An attorney can refer you to a doctor with the specialty required to cure or relieve the effects of your injury. You need to act now, not after the doctor the insurance company has sent you to has released you from care.
Workers' Compensation
If you are injured on the job, or have suffered a work related injury, you may be entitled to:
(1) medical treatment,
(2) temporary total disability payments while you are recovering,
(3) permanent disability payments, and
(4) vocational rehabilitation.
If the injury or illness results in death, then a benefit will be paid to your surviving dependants. If you have questions about your rights and you do not wish to consult a lawyer, you should contact the State Office of Benefit Assistance and Enforcement. They can be reached toll free at 1-800-736-7401.
Depending on the facts of your particular case, you may be entitled to additional rights. For example, if your injury was caused through the fault of another person, or by a faulty piece of equipment, you may be entitled to a "third party lawsuit". In such a situation, you may recover pain and suffering damages, as well as other general damages. If you believe that there is the possibility of a third party case, you should discuss the situation with an additional lawyer immediately (the time limits on such actions are limited and varied). The California Workers Compensation system is a highly specialized area of the law. Our firm handles Workers Compensation cases for persons who are injured on the job (Applicant's).
If you retain us for your workers' compensation case, you do not pay any out of pocket fees. Attorney fees are paid out of the settlement we obtain for you, and never before you receive your settlement or award.
