If you’ve been hurt while working, or through work associated with your job, you have the right to file a workers compensation insurance claim (Work Comp). California law demands that every employer must carry workers compensation insurance and employers who do not can be charged with a criminal offense.

Workers’ Comp began as a compromise between employers and employees. Workers’ Compensation today guarantees medical bills, cash benefits, lost income while you are declared Temporarily Totally Disabled (TTD) by your doctor, and if left with a permanent impairment you will receive compensation based upon the percentage of permanent disability you have suffered.  An injured employee can file a workers’ compensation claim irrespective of what caused an accident; unlike in personal injury cases, often employees can file claims even if they were negligent in causing their work injuries.

When an employee’s damages are minor, the workers’ compensation system works well. However, when notable injuries are involved that demand surgery or may stop a worker from returning to their job for an extended period, there may be monetary incentives for employers & insurance carriers to find methods to decrease, delay, or deny valid claims for the sake of their bottom line. Under such cases, it’s best for injured employees to consult a dedicated Best Workers Comp Lawyer in Moreno Valley about their situation and find what they can do to preserve their rights and their financial stability throughout the recovery process. 

Under the law, the fees a workers compensation attorney may charge are set by statute. Workers comp attorneys in California are entitled to only a tiny portion in attorney fees (about 15%), which are generally only paid on the amount of permanent disability and value of future medical if the claim is settled in fulll by compromise and release..
