Workers’ Compensation Los Angeles

Workers’ Compensation Attorneys Fighting for You

About three out of every 100 workers suffered a workplace injury nationwide in 2019, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That figure cuts across all occupations, from fast food employee to money manager. If you’ve been injured at work, you clearly aren’t alone. But it isn’t just that there are others in the same boat; you also have people to go to for help with your injury-related problems. You need medical care, you need to stay current with your bills, and you need someone to deal with the insurance company. You need the assistance of a good Workers’ Compensation attorney.

Our firm helps people receive Workers’ Compensation benefits in four major areas:

• Medical Benefits
• Temporary Benefits
• Supplemental Job Displacement Benefits
• Permanent Disability Benefits

Our firm’s practice areas (Employment Law, Personal Injury, and Workers’ Compensation) are all related. We believe this gives us a unique insight to resolving work injury cases. We pride ourselves on our record helping clients with catastrophic injuries and all types of work-related injuries for which a few days off of work is not going to cut it.

Work Injury Medical Benefits

If you’re injured on the job in California, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your injuries that can help pay for any future medical care you might need. In many cases, your injuries are likely to get better and you can return to work. However, your condition may not improve, or it may change for the worse over time.  We can help put together a solution that takes future medical expenses into account.

Temporary Disability Benefits for Workers’ Compensation

When you are injured at work and must be out for a few days, you may be eligible to receive temporary disability benefits. If you can’t perform your normal duties, you may receive partial disability benefits. And if you can’t work at all, you may receive total disability payments. These payments end when the medical professional has determined that you’ve improved as much as possible.

If you’re denied Workers’ Compensation benefits for some reason, you may still be eligible for temporary benefits through the State of California.

Supplemental Job Displacement Benefits

If you’re well enough to work again but your injuries prevent you from taking your old job, you may want to seek a new line of work. Workers’ Compensation benefits are available to help you meet that goal. Job displacement benefits are a stipend that pays for training sessions where you can learn a new skill and start on a new path.

Permanent Disability Benefits from a Work Injury

Some work-related injuries may have a lasting effect on you and your ability to work. You may then be eligible for permanent disability payments.
