TYPES OF WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CASE WE HANDLE

• Employer negligence

• Hazardous work conditions

• Poor road conditions

• Worksite code violations

• Injuries caused by third parties

Regardless of how your accident happened, you may be entitled to receive financial benefits to cover your medical expenses, lost pay, disability, pain and suffering, and more.

WHAT ARE THIRD PARTY CLAIMS?

When it comes to work-related accidents, determining who is truly at fault is not always black and white. For instance, if you are running a work-related errand and get hit by a distracted driver, you could be looking at two possible claims to compensation: a workers’ compensation claim and a third party claim.

In this scenario, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits because, really, you would never have been involved in the car accident if you hadn’t been fulfilling your job duties. Likewise, you can file a third party personal injury claim against the driver who caused the actual accident.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE INJURED AT WORK

To receive workers’ compensation benefits, it is important that you take all the necessary steps required by your employer and the state of California. These steps include the following:

• Seek professional medical care without delay. If possible, try to avoid receiving medical assistance from coworkers.

• Fill out an accident report. Provide the details of the accident and your injuries. Submit the report directly to your supervisor.

• Make sure that your employer fills out and sends all necessary documents to the insurance company and the state of California.

• Fill out a Loss of Wages Claim if you lost pay due to your recovery.

Taking these necessary steps will validate your claim and drastically increase your chances of getting the compensation you deserve for your damages. Our law firm can help you through each step of the process.
