For nearly three decades, our Workers Compensation attorneys have fought to obtain the full range of workers’ compensation benefits for employees who have suffered workplace injuries. These include on-the-job injuries due to a specific event, and injuries that occur over time due to repetitive physical stress, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and leg problems. Injuries also include other work-related illnesses such as hypertension, heart disease, breathing problems or exposure to toxic chemicals or fumes.

In California, employers are required to carry Workers’ Compensation insurance, or qualify for self-insurance to cover such injuries. This may cover benefits for lost earnings during recovery from an injury, reimbursement of medical expenses, and compensation for any permanent impairment or disability. Determining your eligibility and compensation can give rise to complex issues which may lead to disputes, and that is when you will need an experienced Workers Compensation lawyeradvocating for you to make sure you receive fair payment and medical care for your injuries.

Sometimes workplace injuries involve a third party – someone other than your employer. The expertise of our Workers Compensation attorneys, combined with that of our Personal Injury attorneys, allows us to coordinate third-party cases ensuring you the best possible outcome.

We are also advocates of a safe and healthy work environment, and work closely with many of Southern California’s labor unions and other employer groups to improve working conditions and employees' rights.
