Workplace Accident Lawyers

Were you injured on the job? Virtually all types of employees in various industries can be subject to workplace accidents and resulting injuries. If you’ve suffered an injury at work, you may be entitled to a cash settlement by filing a civil claim with La Justicia’s team of California workplace-accident attorneys. Contact La Justicia’s experienced workers’ injury lawyers at 833-522-1100 for a free and confidential consultation. Our team is available to answer your questions 24/7.

You may be wondering what to do after being injured at work and if you are entitled to compensation. You’ve probably been told by your boss that your injuries qualify for workers’ comp insurance, and that all you have to do to get the compensation you deserve is file a workers’ comp claim.

But workers’ compensation claims don’t cover things like pain and suffering, and if the accident was through no fault of your own, you may be able to file a separate third-party personal injury civil lawsuit with La Justicia’s team of proven attorneys.

Navigating the legal system after a workplace injury can be a stressful and often confusing process involving a number of complicated steps. But the personal injury and workplace-accident lawyers at La Justicia are here to simplify the process and help you recover the maximum financial compensation you deserve.

What Should I Do After a Workplace Accident Injury?

If you were injured at work anywhere in California, you’re probably suffering from physical pain, disability (short or long-term), medical costs, lost wages, as well as other damages – both economic and non-economic.Workers who are injured in California on job sites have the right to claim benefits, but a workers’ compensation case will never cover 100% of your actual damages/losses.

For example, a workers’ comp claim allows you to recover the full cost of your medical bills, but you are only eligible for a portion in your lost wages. Additionally, no damages for pain and discomfort will be offered in a work comp claim.

That’s why contacting the dedicated army of workplace injury attorneys at La Justicia is so important – we will evaluate your claim and provide guidance on whether it qualifies for workers’ compensation, personal injury, or both.

We represent injured California workers in every type of industry:

Construction
Farm and agriculture workers
Manufacturing
Oilfields
Mining
Landscaping
General maintenance workers
Food service employees
Transportation
Hospitality/hotel
Office workers

After a workplace injury, you should seek immediate medical treatment to document the severity of your condition. Rather than making any type of statement to your employer or their insurance provider, contact a La Justicia team member who will protect your right to maximum financial compensation at 833-522-1100 for a free and confidential consultation.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 5,333 workers in the United States died in 2019 as a direct result of workplace accidents. Nearly 2.8 million Americans were injured or became ill due to workplace injuries that same year.

Here in California, every year, hundreds of thousands of workers are injured on the job.According to statistics published by the California Department of Industry Relations, in a single California year, 466,000 non-fatal injuries occurred at work, with 78% of those occurring in private industry.

The following year in California, in addition the tens thousands of non-fatal workplace injuries being recorded, there were also 376 fatal job-related injuries confirmed. Although this represents an overall decline from previous years, the death of even one worker on the job is an unacceptable tragedy. When either an injury or death at a workplace happens, the team of aggressive and skilled attorneys at La Justicia is here to help.
