It’s important for you to find doctors that care for you and that will look to make sure that your injury is properly calculated as to the impact that injury has on your day to day life. If you’ve been injured at work and the doctor is giving you restrictions that your employer says they can’t accommodate, it’s important for you to find an attorney that can fight for you. If you have any questions with regards to your ability to return to work and what the employer’s obligated to provide to you, feel free to give me a call. One of the first questions I’ll get from a client is how long it typically takes for a Workers’ Compensation claim to go through.

Yesterday, I talked to a potential client who had filed a claim nine months ago and had been seeking treatment, but was now being approached by the employer about settling their Workers’ Compensation claim. It’s important for you to understand that a lot of the claims in Workers’ Comp do get settled, and that they are resolved. Last week, I was having a conversation with an employee who was able to go back to work, but at less than the full-time hours that they were typically working. That being said, it was important for that volunteer to reach out to an attorney because their claims very well still may be covered under California’s other statutory frameworks. If you have questions because you got injured while volunteering for an organization, feel free to give me a call. I’m often asked, what happens if my employer refuses or fails to report my injury at work.

When a worker chooses to file the workers’ compensation and receives a settlement, they will not be eligible to sue their employer for the same injuries. A personal injury lawsuit offers additional benefits to the ones provided by the workers’ compensation, which covers medical treatment and lost wages. The personal injury lawsuit could include compensation for pain and suffering and punitive damages. We fight for your rights and for you to receive the workers' compensation benefits you are entitled to receive.

This is a critical question because the more work injury cases your attorney has dealt with, the better your chances are of winning your case. General practice lawyers may not have the same level of workers’ compensation knowledge as a lawyer that specializes in this  specific category of legal enforcement.

I am extremely satisfied and very comfortable with Silberman and Lam representing me. Michael Rojas is very caring and always responds back to me with out long delays, I have heard horror stories about workers compensation attorneys. Even though there is no need to prove someone specific to blame for a work-related injury or illness in order to receive benefits, making the most of your workers’ comp claim can still be a deceptively tricky endeavor. Workers’ compensation law deals with injuries that occur on the job. Fault is generally not a factor in workers’ compensation claims, unless the work self-inflicts the injury (i.e., cause his own injury with intent of defrauding the insurance company).
