Frequently Asked Questions – Workers’ Compensation
How long do I have to report a work injury in California?
You should report your injury to your employer as soon as possible—ideally within 30 days. Delays can hurt your case or even prevent you from getting benefits. If you’re unsure if you reported in time, contact us right away.
What benefits can I receive through workers’ compensation?
California workers’ comp covers:
- Medical treatment (all reasonable and necessary care)
- Temporary disability payments (partial wage replacement while you recover)
- Permanent disability payments (if you have lasting impairment)
- Supplemental job displacement vouchers (for retraining, in some cases)
- Death benefits (for surviving dependents if a worker dies from a job injury)
Can I see my own doctor for a work injury?
You may be able to see your own doctor if you predesignated them before the injury. Otherwise, you’ll likely need to see a provider in your employer’s Medical Provider Network (MPN). If you’re not getting proper care, we can help fight for a change of doctor or second opinion.
What if my workers’ comp claim is denied?
Don’t give up! Many valid claims are denied at first. We have helped many workers appeal denials and win the benefits they were originally refused. Quick legal action is key—call us if you’ve received a denial letter.
Can my employer fire me for filing a workers’ comp claim?
No. It is illegal for your employer to retaliate against you for claiming workers’ compensation. If you suspect retaliation—termination, reduced hours, harassment—contact us immediately for protection.
Do I have to pay any legal fees up front?
No. For workers’ compensation cases, you pay nothing unless we recover benefits for you. Our fee is a standard percentage of your recovery, approved by a judge, and only comes out if we win your case.
What if my injury was caused by someone other than my employer?
You may be able to file a “third-party” lawsuit against the person or company that caused your injury (for example, a negligent driver or equipment manufacturer). We handle these cases too, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple lawyers.
Can undocumented workers get workers’ comp in California?
Yes. Immigration status does not prevent you from receiving workers’ compensation benefits in California. We help all injured workers, regardless of documentation.
Do you offer bilingual support?
Yes. Se habla Español. Our team assists both English and Spanish-speaking clients throughout the claims process.
