What Our Clients Say
Los Angeles Workers Compensation Lawyers – Frequently Asked Questions
What if my employer doesn't have workers compensation insurance?
Can I choose my own doctor for treatment?
Yes. In a Los Angeles workers compensation claim, you can predesignate your personal physician before any injury occurs by notifying your employer in writing. Without predesignation, you must use a doctor from your employer’s Medical Provider Network for the first 30 days after your workplace injury, after which you may switch doctors.
Will I lose my job if I file a workers' compensation claim?
Is there a time limit to file a workers compensation claim in Los Angeles?
Yes. You first must report your workplace injury to your employer in Los Angeles within 30 days. The statute of limitations for filing a Los Angeles workers compensation claim is 1 year from the date of injury (or the last date of treatment provided by your employer).
What happens if my workers compensation claim is denied?
You have the right to appeal a denied workers compensation claim by filing an Application for Adjudication of Claim with the Workers Compensation Appeals Board. This initiates formal legal proceedings where a judge will review your workers compensation claim and make a determination.
Can I still get workers compensation if it was partially my fault?
