The Law Office Of Cantrell Green - Long Beach, CA
The Law Office Of Cantrell Green is a premier workers' compensation and disability advocacy firm in Long Beach, California, fighting for injured workers, overseas contractors, and disabled public employees since 1971.
Championing Injured and Disabled Workers Across California
Since its founding in 1971, The Law Office Of Cantrell Green has stood as one of the most respected workers' rights practices in California. For more than five decades, the firm's dedicated legal team has aggressively advocated on behalf of injured employees, recovering well over $100 million in benefits, medical care, and settlements. Led by accomplished attorneys Wayne McCort, Juliana Guerriero, Anna Batanero, and Danny Polhamus, the practice combines compassionate client care with exceptional knowledge of state and federal disability systems. When injured workers need to hire an attorney who possesses the experience and resources to challenge major employers and insurance carriers, Cantrell Green delivers formidable representation at every step.
Aggressive California Workers' Compensation Advocacy
Suffering a workplace injury can disrupt your livelihood and jeopardize your financial stability. Serving as premier workers' compensation lawyers, the firm guides injured laborers, warehouse staff, healthcare professionals, and trade workers through the California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board system. The attorneys ensure clients obtain prompt medical care, temporary disability payments, and maximum permanent disability compensation. When insurance claims administrators unjustifiably delay payments or deny necessary surgical procedures, clients who need an urgent attorney receive decisive legal intervention to enforce compliance with California Labor Code protections.
International Defense Base Act and Longshore Claims
Civilian contractors working overseas in combat zones, logistics hubs, and military installations face exceptional workplace hazards. As recognized authorities in federal compensation law, the firm's accident and injury lawyers represent contractors injured worldwide under the Defense Base Act and the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act. From initial formal notification to navigating complex disputes before the Office of Administrative Law Judges, the legal team ensures that overseas workers receive fair medical treatments, wage replacement benefits, and lump-sum settlements regardless of where the injury occurred.
Social Security Disability (SSDI) Applications and Appeals
Navigating the federal Social Security Administration is notoriously frustrating, with a majority of initial disability applications facing denial. Acting as compassionate disability advocates, the practice guides clients through every phase of the SSDI process. When workers looking to find a lawyer face an unjust denial, the firm prepares detailed medical evidence, coordinates treating physician evaluations, and delivers compelling oral arguments before administrative law judges to secure back pay and essential ongoing monthly disability benefits.
Public Employee Disability Retirement Pensions
Public servants dedicate their careers to protecting and educating communities. When career-ending medical conditions occur, the firm represents teachers, police officers, firefighters, and corrections personnel in service-connected disability retirement claims under CalPERS, LACERA, OCERS, and CalSTRS. The legal team overcomes restrictive board evaluations and vigorously appeals wrongful pension denials to safeguard public employees' earned retirement security.
