Worker Compensation Cases

Workers' compensation law provides financial protection and medical benefits to employees who are injured or become ill due to their job. It is designed to cover the costs of medical care, rehabilitation, and lost wages, ensuring that injured workers can recover without facing financial ruin. Unlike personal injury cases, workers' compensation claims do not require proving fault; instead, they focus on the connection between the injury and the workplace. Our firm is dedicated to helping workers navigate the complex claims process, secure the benefits they deserve, and, if necessary, represent them in disputes or appeals.

What is Workers' Compensation and who is eligible?
Workers' Compensation is a form of insurance that provides benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. Most employees in California are eligible for Workers' Compensation benefits, regardless of who was at fault for the injury. If you were injured on the job or became ill due to your work environment, you may be entitled to benefits such as medical treatment, wage replacement, and disability compensation.
What should I do if I am injured at work?
If you are injured at work, it’s important to report the injury to your employer immediately, seek medical attention, and document the injury and how it occurred. Your employer should provide you with a claim form (DWC-1) to complete and submit. Contacting a Workers' Compensation attorney can help ensure that you receive the full benefits you are entitled to and protect your rights.
What types of benefits can I receive under Workers' Compensation?
Under Workers' Compensation, you may be entitled to several types of benefits, including medical treatment, temporary disability benefits (for lost wages while you recover), permanent disability benefits (if your injury results in lasting impairment), vocational rehabilitation, and death benefits for dependents in the event of a fatal workplace injury.
How long do I have to file a Workers' Compensation claim?
In California, you generally have 30 days to report a work-related injury to your employer and one year to file a Workers' Compensation claim. However, the sooner you report your injury, the better. Delaying your claim could result in denial of benefits. It’s important to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure you meet all deadlines and requirements.
Can I choose my own doctor for treatment?
In California, you typically need to see a doctor within your employer’s Workers' Compensation medical network for treatment. However, if you predesignated a personal physician in writing before your injury, you may be able to see that doctor. If you're unhappy with the care you’re receiving, there may be options to change your treating physician. An attorney can help guide you through this process.
What if my Workers' Compensation claim is denied?
If your Workers' Compensation claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. This involves filing an application for adjudication of your claim with the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB). Our attorneys can help you navigate the appeals process, gather additional evidence, and represent you in hearings to secure the benefits you deserve.
Can I sue my employer if I receive Workers' Compensation benefits?
In most cases, Workers' Compensation is the exclusive remedy for work-related injuries, meaning you cannot sue your employer if you receive Workers' Compensation benefits. However, there are exceptions, such as cases involving intentional harm or if a third party was responsible for your injury. Our attorneys can evaluate your case to determine if any additional legal actions can be pursued.
What if I am unable to return to work due to my injury?
If your work injury leaves you permanently unable to return to your previous job, you may be eligible for permanent disability benefits. In some cases, you may also qualify for vocational rehabilitation or retraining benefits to help you transition to a new type of work. Our firm can help you understand your rights and options under California Workers' Compensation law.
How does a Workers' Compensation attorney help me?
A Workers' Compensation attorney can assist you in many ways, including filing your claim, ensuring you receive appropriate medical care, negotiating with insurance companies, and representing you in appeals or disputes. Having an attorney increases your chances of receiving the full benefits to which you are entitled and can make the process less stressful.
How does BHAKHRI Law Firm charge for Workers' Compensation cases?
At BHAKHRI Law Firm, we handle Workers' Compensation cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay any legal fees upfront. We only get paid if we successfully recover benefits for you, and our fees are a percentage of the benefits you receive. This allows you to pursue your claim without worrying about legal costs.
