  • Do I need an attorney?
    • You have the right to be represented by an attorney of your choice in connection with your work- related injury. Your attorney will assist you in seeing that your benefits are properly protected.
    Your employer or your employer's insurance company will be advised and represented by individuals experienced in Workers' Compensation cases and you should have an attorney experienced in handling Workers' Compensation representing you.
    There is no filing fee for filing an application with the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board.
    Attorney's fees for representing an injured employee are determined by the Workers' compensation Appeals Board judge and are paid out of the settlement or award. These are
    usually a percentage of the monetary recovery awarded to the injured employee. They may range from 10% to 15% of the award, depending on the complexity of the case and time involved.
    If you have further questions or should you be in need of an attorney skilled in handling Workers' Compensation cases or other injury cases, feel free to contact our office for assistance.
    Important: If your case deals with personal injury (automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, medical or legal malpractice) or workers' compensation cases (accidents at work) and deals with California law, you can reach us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week just by calling 1-800-LAW-TALK, from anywhere in the United States, for a free consultation.

    By the way, don't be scared, but the California Workers' Compensation law requires us to tell you that:
    "Making a false or fraudulent workers' compensation claim is a felony subject up to 5 years in prison or a fine of up to $50,000 or double the value of the fraud, whichever is greater, or by both imprisonment and fine."
