Rialto Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

Workers’ compensation is supposed to provide benefits to help you protect your health and finances if you were involved in a workplace accident. But getting a fair settlement can be difficult when insurance companies try to underpay or deny claims.

A skilled attorney with CD Law can help you seek the compensation you need. Our Rialto workers’ compensation lawyer can fight for maximum benefits to help you get life back on track.

Who Is Covered by Workers’ Compensation?

If you sustained an injury on the job, you likely have workers’ compensation coverage.

California law requires employers to provide workers’ compensation insurance to employees. This requirement is mandatory for businesses with at least one worker, including seasonal and part-time employees.

Workers’ compensation is a type of no-fault insurance. You do not have to prove that someone else was responsible for your accident to receive a settlement. However, you will need to show that your injury is job-related. You may also need to prove that it prevents you from continuing to do your job while you recover.

Our Rialto legal team can guide you through the workers’ compensation claims process and help you gather and prepare the evidence needed to support your case.

What Workers’ Compensation Benefits Could You Recover?

Whether you received treatment at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center or another facility, workers’ compensation should cover your medical expenses. Coverage should include emergency services, hospitalizations, physical therapy, and other necessary treatments. Medical coverage typically lasts until you reach maximum medical improvement (MMI).

Workers’ compensation also provides disability benefits if you cannot work. You could receive up to two-thirds of your pre-injury weekly wage (subject to caps). Wage benefits usually last until you reach MMI and can go back to work. If you have a permanent injury or can never return to your job, your benefits may last longer.

If your loved one died from a work injury, their dependents could recover workers’ compensation death benefits for their medical expenses and lost income.

A workers’ compensation lawyer from our Rialto team can tell you more about your potential benefits. To remain eligible for a claim, make sure you report your work injury to your employer within 30 days.

Some Workplace Accidents Also Lead to Personal Injury Claims

In most cases, you cannot sue your employer if they have workers’ compensation coverage. However, you could sue a third-party (such as a property owner or subcontractor) if their careless or wrongful actions caused your workplace accident.

Our workers’ compensation attorneys can review your Rialto case and determine if you also have a personal injury claim. If you do, we can seek additional damages for your remaining lost wages and pain and suffering.

Just like filing a workers’ compensation claim, there is a limited time to file a personal injury claim. Our law firm can help you get started on a personal injury claim right away.
