If your workers’ compensation claim is denied in California, it’s important to act quickly. You have the right to appeal the decision. The first step is to request a hearing before the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB). At Laguna Law Firm, we can help you gather additional evidence, prepare your case, and represent you during the appeals process to increase your chances of a successful outcome.

In California, workers’ compensation lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. The standard fee is a percentage of the benefits or settlement you receive, usually. At Laguna Law Firm, we operate on a contingency fee basis, ensuring that our interests are aligned with yours—we only get paid when you do.

In California, you must report your work-related injury to your employer within 30 days to avoid losing your right to benefits. Additionally, you have one year from the date of the injury to file a workers’ compensation claim with the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB). Missing these deadlines can result in your claim being denied. Laguna Law Firm can help you navigate these deadlines and ensure your claim is filed on time.

Under California law, it is illegal for an employer to fire, threaten, or discriminate against an employee for Filing a workers’ compensation claim. If you believe you have been retaliated against for filing a claim, you may be entitled to additional compensation. Laguna Law Firm can help protect your rights and pursue a claim against your employer if they have violated California’s anti-retaliation laws.

Workers’ compensation in California is a no-fault system, meaning that employees are entitled to benefits regardless of who was at fault for the injury.
