What Do You Need To Know?

- Workers’ compensation terminology: Learn about common terms and phrases that are used in workers’ compensation claims and documentation.
- Injured at work? Here’s what to do: These are the first steps you should follow after you suffer an injury. Follow these steps to ensure your claim and any future proceedings have the best chance for success.
- Do I have to pay for a lawyer? In workers’ compensation cases, attorneys are paid on a contingency basis. This means that they cannot charge you anything until a settlement is reached. There are many additional rules that must be followed, as well.
- How to save evidence for your claim: Learn more about why it is important to document everything from the moment you are injured — and the best ways to do it.
- The independent medical review process: The independent medical review process prevents a lot of injured individuals from getting the workers’ compensation benefits they need. You need a professional to help you combat the problems this process has caused for Californians.
- What happens when temporary benefits run out: Unfortunately, there is a time limit to how long you can receive workers’ compensation in the event you cannot work at all from your injuries. There are many options our attorneys can explore to help you get the treatment and compensation you deserve.
