7 workers' compensation attorneys serve Sacramento. The system is no-fault — you do not have to prove your employer did anything wrong — but disputes over whether an injury is work-related, which treatment is authorised and what impairment rating you receive are constant.
Report the injury to your employer in writing immediately; late notice is the most common reason claims are denied. Fees in comp cases are set by statute and capped, so representation rarely costs you out of pocket.
Ask about a possible third-party claim: if a contractor, driver or equipment maker caused the injury, that separate case can be worth far more than comp benefits.
