Los Angeles Workers Compensation Lawyers – Frequently Asked Questions
What if my employer doesn't have workers compensation insurance?
In Los Angeles, employers operating without workers compensation insurance face criminal charges and substantial fines. You can still pursue compensation through the state’s Uninsured Employers Benefits Trust Fund (UEBTF) or file a Los Angeles civil lawsuit against your employer. Contact Braff Law Firm’s powerful Los Angeles workers compensation lawyers as soon as possible if you discover your employer is uninsured.
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?
What happens if my workers compensation claim is denied?
Can I still get workers compensation if the accident was partially my fault?
