Personal Injury |
WORKER COMPENSATION Worker compensation is a very specialized area of law in California. If you are injured and on the job and your injuries are in any way "job related" (including your coming from and going to work), then in all likelihood you are covered under the California Worker Compensation Statutes. These statutes generally prevent you from suing your employer for your personal injuries and limit the amount of compensation which you can receive, including replacement for your lost pay while injured or recuperating. The up side to this is that you enjoy tax free disability income, the attorney fees are much less, and the process for reimbursement is much quicker. Further, there is a court supervised process to ensure that you are rehabilitated or retrained so as to return to being a productive employee. Worker Compensation is a very specialized area of law and it is recommended that you turn to either your local county bar association Lawyer Referral Service (Sacramento LRS at (916) 444-2333 ) or the phone directory under Attorneys: Worker Compensation for representation in this area. © 2003 Law Offices of Kevin M.
