The firm attorneys assist injured workers through every step of the claims process before the Workers Compensation Appeals Board, securing benefits including:

• Temporary disability payments providing wage replacement while unable to return to work.

Third-Party Worksite Liability and Construction Accidents

The firm investigates construction site injuries, defective machinery incidents, and toxic exposures to pursue third-party civil lawsuits. By pursuing third-party personal injury claims, clients can recover compensation for pain, suffering, and full lost earnings that workers compensation alone cannot provide.
