Frequently asked questions
-
How much money am I going to get?No attorney can ever be completely certain how much money you will get for your workers’ comp claim. It is entirely based on the disability rating established through medical records and doctor reports. The more significant your injuries, the more the disability rating climbs, and the more monies you could possibly be rewarded. What you can be certain of is our ability to work as hard as possibly can to maximize your case and settlement value.
-
My claim has been denied or otherwise delayed - what do I do now?A denied or delayed claim is not the end-all for workers’ compensation cases. You still may have a very real chance of receiving fair recovery, only now it will prove more difficult. If you have not retained the help of a workers’ comp attorney yet, now is the time to do so.
-
My employer fired me or otherwise penalized my because of my injury. What are my options?California State law protects “whistleblowers” from reporting injuries they sustained while performing their duties as described. If your employer has retaliated against you for reporting an on-the-job accident, not only do you have a workers’ compensation case on your hands, you might also have an employment law case, too. Should this happen to you, contact our firm right away.
-
What is the application/packet I received?The application - also called a complaint - kicks off your case. Within 90 days, you should also receive a denial or acceptance letter from your employer or their representatives. You have nothing else to do in regards to this application; the wheels are already in motion and the path is set for your case.

If you have any questions, we encourage you to call (800) 980-6905">(800) 980-6905 and we will get right back to you. Remember: you have the right to speak to us regarding anything surrounding your case, and your employer cannot interfere.
-
What does settling my case mean?Settling a case is when you agree with the resolutions proposed by the opposition. Most settlements will involve a large lump sum of money or a smaller sum plus any coverage for any necessary medical treatments. Be assure that we won’t settle any case without first getting you involved - this is your case, after all. Once we are able to get a settlement offer that suits your needs, we will thoroughly discuss your options so you can decide your next move with confidence.
-
How long will my case take?Cases can take months and months to resolve, or sometimes just weeks. In general, depending on the injury and the healing process, cases may take about 12 to 18 months to resolve. If your case goes to trial, however, things may take longer. This is why we work as hard as we can to maximize your case value and try to settle cases outside of court - success means you get the most you can in the shortest timeframe possible.
-
I have been contact by an adjuster. What do I do?I have been contacted by an adjuster. What do I do? Let us know as soon as you are contacted by an adjuster. In most cases, this is a ploy insurance companies use to try to get you to settle on your own, and for a low, low value. If you provide us with the adjuster’s name and phone number, we will handle them for you. Do not call them back. Don’t worry - we will take care of this unwelcome solicitation on your behalf.
