Need a Workers' Comp Lawyer?

Although the workers’ compensation system is similar in most states, there are differences in terms of timelines, the types of benefits an injured employee is eligible for, and other factors. In Lakeside CA, almost all employers are obliged to carry workers’ compensation insurance (there are very few exceptions). Employees who are injured must notify their employer within 30 days of the incident and have one year to file a claim. When an employee reports a workplace injury, their employer is required to send claim forms within one business day. While the claim is pending, any medical expenses up to $10,000 are paid. In California, claims that are not explicitly rejected within 90 days after filing are considered accepted. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault insurance system. This is not the same as a personal injury claim, in which a party is held responsible for the injuries. Employers and other parties cannot be held accountable for your work injury damages in Lakeside CA, even if they played a part in creating your injuries.

Our Attorney

Lakeside CA Personal Injury Attorney

Lakeside CA Workplace injuries are sometimes caused in part by an employee’s own irresponsibility. This can range from mild carelessness to serious negligence, such as when an employee is under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. In most cases, even if an employee’s carelessness was minor, they can still collect workers’ compensation benefits. Serious negligence, on the other hand, can prevent a person from collecting workers’ compensation benefits. Workers’ compensation payouts pay for financial losses incurred as a result of a workplace injury. Your claim will primarily cover your medical bills as well as the wages you lost while healing from your injury. You may also be eligible for benefits to help pay for things like physical therapy or transportation to medical appointments. You will need to return the forms to your employer, who will forward them to their workers’ compensation insurance company. Your employer should supply you with claim forms when you report your injuries. You will be asked to fill out these forms with information about yourself and your injury.

Workers' Comp Law firm

Lakeside CA Workers' Compensation Attorney

You may recognize right away that you need a Lakeside CA workers’ compensation attorney to handle your work injury claim after being hurt at work. You probably realized that numerous lawyers offer workers’ compensation representation when you started looking online or watching a TV commercial. You may have also noted that the majority of them represent clients in a variety of areas of law, not only workers’ compensation.

When a law firm covers a variety of practice areas in addition to workers’ compensation, its emphasis can become diluted. As a result, your case may not receive the full attention, knowledge, and concentration it requires. When a law firm takes on clients for matters that aren’t related to workers’ compensation, they may lack the in-depth information, significant experience, and expertise required to win a claim successfully.

When a loved one dies as a result of unsafe working circumstances in Lakeside CA, you may be entitled to monetary compensation for your loss, which may include lifelong loss of income, loss of companionship, and funeral and burial costs. Though death benefits for a loved one’s tragic job accident have a maximum cap, exceptions may be allowed if the compensation expires before a dependent child reaches adulthood.

Many people try to go through the workers’ compensation process on their own first in order to save money or speed up their payments. The trouble is that the system is riddled with red tape, mountains of paperwork, processes, and severe deadlines – if you overlook something, your claim may be refused, and you’ll have to go through a lengthy appeals process only to have it denied again.

This was my first experience with the legal system. It is quite intimidating when you do not know what you are up against. Mr. Patrick was very professional and explained the entire process in a way that was easily understood. He was always prompt, direct, and courteous. Whenever I had any questions, he returned my phone calls, texts, and emails very quickly, even on weekends. Mr. Patrick has my highest recommendation. If you are looking for an attorney who is going to take care of business, look no further than Mr. Patrick!

I recommend this place and especially attorney Mr. Patrick. This guy is awesome. I had a car accident last year, and the insurance company of the person at fault wanted to cut me a check for a very low amount. I did some research and found 2H Law Firm. Mr. Patrick was my attorney from the start. He explained everything clearly. He supported and updated me through the whole ordeal. I can't say enough good things about Mr. Patrick. I am very happy about the outcome of my case and the work that Mr. Patrick has done on my behalf.

Mr. Patrick just concluded a personal injury case for me. He was able to get me a great settlement. He was kind and caring, always looking out for what was needed. He was good at letting me know what to expect through every stage and was upfront about all possible outcomes the first time we met. He was open to reviews and input from everyone involved in my case. Although he made several recommendations, he always consulted me before decisions were made. He was quick to answer all questions.

Patrick handled my case very well, we received more that expected in the settlement and I really had very little to do. A few trip to the doctors office and I was done. I would definitely recommend Patrick to anyone pursuing a workers’ compensation or personal injury claim.
