Workers’ Compensation Claims in California

Workers’ Compensation is an Insurance Claims System designed to compensate workers who have sustained injuries. It is a state-wide system designed to protect workers.

Many workers in the United States and California sustain work injuries. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, every day in the U.S., more than 12 people die due to work-related accidents or diseases. Every year, more than four million suffer from a serious job-related disease or injury.

In California, if you are injured or become ill due to conditions at work, you need to file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits. If you fail to file a claim, you will likely incur medical costs and lose wages if you are out on disability. Workers’ Compensation Insurance in California is designed for just such a situation.

California Workers’ Compensation System was designed to simplify the process of compensating an injured worker. It is a “no-fault” system. This means that you, the worker, do not have to prove your illness or injury was the fault of your employer’s negligence. In return, your employer may not claim that your negligence caused or contributed to your injury or illness. Also, as part of the agreement, compensation is limited pursuant to the Labor Code.

California Legal Employment Rights

Law Offices of Edward J. Singer

Although California Workers’ Compensation Law does not require you to have a work injury attorney prepare your workers’ compensation claim, insurance companies have a reputation for making a low settlement offer to those who are not represented by legal counsel. They take advantage of the fact that you are in a jam and need money. Because of your position, you may be tempted to take the offer as your medical bills pile up and you are late paying your rent or mortgage. You may settle your case for far less than it is worth.

When trying to resolve your case, there are some areas for which you deserve compensation that you may not have considered when formulating the value of your case.

  • Entitlement to temporary total disability benefits and future entitlement to total temporary disability benefits.
  • Medical bills, both current and future.
  • Long-term nursing care if required.
  • Physical rehabilitation and other future medical care needs
  • Job retraining and rehabilitation if your injury prevents you from returning to your former career.

Third-Party Claims For Work Injury

Even though Workers’ Compensation Law prevents you from filing a lawsuit against your employer for your injuries, you may still have a civil lawsuit if a third party’s negligence was responsible for your injury. This type of Civil Lawsuit is called a third-party claim. For example, suppose you were using a defective tool at work. In that case, you may have a claim against the manufacturer for putting the defective product on the market or for failing to warn about potential dangers properly.

TESTIMONIALS

I TRUST HIM!!!

I’ve been with Mr. Singer since 2007….. This case has been drawn out due to my previous employers’ lack of accountability. I appreciate the fact that Ed has been consistent and continues to fight the fight for me to get what is right…. A lot of other Attorneys would have told me to give up and accept the measly settlement they have offered, believe me, I’ve been tempted because it’s been a long road of B.S. However, because he believes what they have done is wrong and discriminatory towards me, he continues to battle for me and my greater good without having received a red cent, and for that I am truly grateful! I appreciate that he is available to discuss things via telephone, or in the office, although sometimes it is a few weeks out, I understand. I have entrusted him to handle my case and I let him do his work, and know that I will be notified of any pertinent information. However, I am not one that needs to be updated daily on the status because I know my previous employer is dragging their feet on the whole thing, they are a government agency after all. Sooooo, thank you, Ed, for your continued support and determination regarding my case!!!

Terrific Lawyer!

Mr. Singer did an excellent job on my husband’s case. My husband got injured at work and we spoke to several lawyers who seemed to run their firms like a mill. We finally met with Ed. He met us on the weekend and I was amazed of his knowledge of not only workman’s compensation law, but also medical issues. He fought very hard for us. His staff of paralegals were also wonderful. I would recommend Ed.

Thank you!

Mr. Singer took on my work comp case. It was complicated because the insurance denied the claim. He went to court and fought with them. they finally admitted I got hurt. He’s the best!

He Handled my Case

Mr. Singer took the case of my case. He arranged for treatment and evaluations. He deposed the doctor on my case and got me a settlement with future medical care. I was happy what he did for me.

Top Worker’s Comp Lawyer for Injured Workers

As a peer of Ed Singer, I strongly endorse him. He really knows the worker’s comp law and procedure. I have seen him in action. He fights to get injured workers the best medical treatment and compensation for his clients.

If you’re injured on the job, Ed would be the first attorney I would recommend. I’ve referred cases to him in the past with positive results.

Workers Compensation

I contacted Mr. Singer thru AVVO message posting. I asked him if he could contact me back via email and he did the next day. He also allowed me to email him WC case-related documents before I talk to him on the phone. He also called me proactively from his end. When I called him after sending him emails first. He was very kind, professional, upfront and straight down to urgency business at hand.

He was also very supportive and understanding of my most complicated WC case and situations (another attorney previously indicated to me not able help me further due to complex nature of my case) and was willing to take more of his valuable time talking to me on the phone. Due to the complex nature of my case, he was also willing to meet with me at his office for further consultation.

Thank you, Mr. Singer, from bottom of my heart!

PS, Please also know Sergio of your office staff who contacted me back to schedule me a follow-up appointment with you was extremely kind and very friendly. Just talking to kind voices of Sergio and yourself on the phone, makes my visit so much easier with lesser pressure and stress.
