Workers’ Compensation Attorney
Los Angeles Workers’ Compensation Attorney
An employer has a responsibility to maintain a reasonably safe working environment for employees.
Often times, an injured worker hesitates to report an injury for fear of retaliation. Unfortunately, there are strict time limits for reporting worker’s compensation claims, and time is critical. Aside from time constraint, a workplace accident leading to injury of a worker raises questions regarding the scope of liability.
Lawyers from insurance companies may contact you and propose a cheap and quick settlement. Don’t sign anything without consulting with an attorney regarding your rights and remedies. On the other hand, if the insurance companies did not contact you, they are hoping that you’ll delay bringing your claim till your claim is totally barred by statute of limitation.

Your injury may have taken place in a factory, in an office complex, at a store, a construction site, in a restaurant or in a retail establishment. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding your injury, you have specific rights and responsibilities as an injured worker. Your on-the-job accident should be investigated as soon as possible to ensure the best possible outcome.
You May Also Have Other Claims in Addition to Workers’ Compensation
In addition to your workers’ compensation claim, there may be a separate third-party liability claim or lawsuit to file if your injury involved the negligence of someone other than your employer. An equipment manufacturer, a delivery service or a subcontractor may be at fault. Pursuing compensation through such sources is a separate case from your workers’ compensation claim.
