Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

California Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Helping Injured Workers

A workplace injury can affect your health, income, job, family, and future. If you were injured while working, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, including medical treatment, wage replacement, permanent disability benefits, and other benefits available under California law.

BHL Accident Lawyers represents injured workers in workers’ compensation cases. Our firm helps employees deal with denied claims, delayed medical care, unpaid disability benefits, low settlement offers, permanent disability disputes, return-to-work issues, and insurance companies that do not treat injured workers fairly.

A work injury claim can become stressful quickly. You may be sent to doctors selected by the insurance company, pressured to return to work before you are ready, told your injury is not work-related, or offered less than your claim is worth. BHL Accident Lawyers helps injured workers understand their rights, protect their benefits, and pursue the recovery available under the workers’ compensation system.

If you were injured at work, our firm can review your case and explain your options during a free consultation.

What Is Workers’ Compensation?

Workers’ compensation is a system that provides benefits to employees who are injured while performing their job duties. In many cases, an injured worker does not need to prove that the employer was negligent. The focus is usually whether the injury happened in the course of employment and whether the worker is entitled to benefits.

Workers’ compensation may cover injuries caused by sudden accidents, repetitive motion, cumulative trauma, occupational exposure, job-related driving, workplace falls, lifting injuries, machinery accidents, construction accidents, and other work-related causes.

Benefits may include medical treatment, temporary disability payments, permanent disability benefits, supplemental job displacement benefits, mileage reimbursement, and death benefits for surviving dependents in fatal workplace injury cases.

BHL Accident Lawyers helps injured workers navigate the claims process and fight for the benefits they are entitled to receive.

How Insurance Companies Fight Workers’ Compensation Claims

Workers’ compensation insurance companies may try to limit benefits in several ways.

They may:

  • Deny that the injury is work-related
  • Delay medical treatment
  • Send the worker to an unfavorable doctor
  • Stop temporary disability benefits early
  • Dispute permanent disability
  • Claim the worker can return to work
  • Blame the injury on a pre-existing condition
  • Refuse necessary treatment
  • Offer a low settlement
  • Minimize future medical care
  • Challenge cumulative trauma claims

BHL Accident Lawyers helps injured workers respond to these tactics and pursue the benefits they deserve.
