Bakersfield Workers' Compensation Lawyer
If you were injured in a
workplace accident or sustained any physical injury that occurred as a result of the duties related to your job, you may have grounds for a
workers' compensation claim. By law, all California employers are required to provide their employees with workers' compensation benefits for on-the-job accidents and injuries, regardless of who was at fault. These benefits may include permanent or temporary disability benefits, medical benefits, supplemental job displacement benefits, and possibly more. In return, injured workers are prevented from suing their employers for injuries that occur at work or during the performance of one's job.
Although you should receive workers' compensation benefits under law, it is often still advisable to involve an attorney. A Bakersfield workers' compensation attorney can help ensure that your claim is properly valued and addressed in a timely fashion by your employer and their insurance company, which will likely handle the payment of your claim. Most workers' compensation claims settle out of court, but being willing to go to civil court when necessary forces your employer and the workers' compensation insurance company take your case seriously.
