Workplace accidents can bring about severe financial stress

On Behalf of Leviton Diaz & Ginocchio, Inc | Sep 11, 2014 |

California workers in the construction and industrial industries, along with those who work in factories, typically face dangerous working conditions every day. Whether they work with hazardous and toxic materials, heavy machinery or mechanized equipment, the likelihood of workplace accidents is real at all times. In addition, demanding tasks and constant heavy-lifting can also result in injuries that may have long-term adverse effects.

Workplace accidents often cause workers to be absent from work for extended periods, leaving them without income and stressing about their ability to put bread on the tables of their families. Although most workers in California are entitled to benefits from the workers’ compensation insurance fund, the claiming process could be intimidating and even confusing at times. A comprehensive knowledge of the workers’ compensation rules, regulations and procedures, along with its limitations, may be required to ensure full and fair compensation.

Having a legal team on your side with many years of accumulated experience in obtaining compensation for workers in all industries may be an asset. They will afford you the opportunity to recover from your injuries and build up your strength to enable you to go back to work. In cases where workers lost their lives in workplace accidents, your legal representative will allow the family to grieve the loss of their loved one while they pursue compensation for the surviving spouse and dependent relatives.

Regardless of the severity of the injuries suffered in California workplace accidents, victims should seek medical treatment immediately after the incident. The next step would be to inform your employer of your injuries, and then you may choose to visit our workers’ compensation website. If your physical or emotional condition is holding you back from taking action, our experienced team will do all that is necessary to ensure maximum compensation.
