Workers’ Compensation
Protecting injured workers across California
Integration with Other Claims
Workplace injuries sometimes trigger claims beyond workers' comp. Having attorneys with multiple practice areas means we catch these opportunities:
Third-Party Personal Injury Claims
If a third party caused the injury — a delivery driver, equipment manufacturer, building owner — you may sue them separately. We coordinate both claims to maximize recovery.
Employer Retaliation
If your employer retaliated after filing a comp claim — firing, demotion, harassment — that's illegal. We pursue employment law claims alongside your comp case.
Insurance Bad Faith
If the carrier unreasonably denies or delays benefits, we pursue bad faith claims. Bad faith recovery is separate from comp and can include punitive damages.
Workplace Injuries We Handle
Back & Spinal Injuries
Herniated discs, fractures, chronic pain from lifting or falls.
Head & Brain Injuries
TBI, concussions, and permanent cognitive impairment.
Repetitive Strain
Carpal tunnel, tendinitis, and cumulative trauma injuries.
Occupational Diseases
Asbestos, silicosis, chemical exposure, even years later.
Orthopedic Injuries
Broken bones, torn ligaments, rotator cuff tears.
Psychological Injuries
PTSD, anxiety, and stress from workplace events.
Common Questions
Generally no — workers' comp is your exclusive remedy. But you can sue third parties who caused the injury (equipment manufacturers, building owners, etc.), and you can pursue retaliation claims if your employer punished you for filing.
Temporary disability replaces roughly two-thirds of your lost wages (capped at a state maximum). Permanent disability is calculated using a state schedule based on body part and medical rating. We estimate your specific benefits in the consultation.
No. Denials are often incorrect or based on incomplete information. You can appeal through the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB). Many denied claims are successfully overturned. We handle all appeals.
