Workplace Injury

In 2007, more than half a million workers were injured on the job in California, according to the California Department of Industrial Relations.  If you are one of the unfortunate victims, your injury may be covered by workers compensation insurance paid for by your employer. But there may be limitations to your workers compensation that prevent you from receiving the medical care and financial compensation you deserve.

Each case is different. In some instances, you may be able to bring a claim against a third party for the injuries you've suffered. But to fully understand your options, you need to talk with an experienced workplace injury attorney.

Some industries in California are more prone to on-the-job injury than others, including construction, manufacturing, warehousing, transportation and utilities. Injuries occur in less dangerous occupations as well. Workplace injury can also take the form of disease that is contracted on the job. And in some cases, violence among co-workers can constitute a workplace injury.

Talking to an attorney after being hurt at work doesn’t mean you are trying to take advantage of your injury or “milk the system.” It doesn’t even mean you dislike your job. The fact is that you are entitled to this coverage—in fact, you've been working for it.

Remember, a workplace injury can threaten your financial future. Your ability to earn and income and provide for yourself and your family may be jeopardized. Before you decide to “make do” or “get by” with what you are offered by your employer's lawyers, you need to contact an attorney who represents you to understand you legal options.  Contact the Sacramento California workplace injury attorneys. Call the Arnold Law Firm today at 916-924-3100.

Some workplace injuries end in death. In 2005, 453 workers lost their lives on the job in California, according to the California Department of Industrial Relations. If a loved one has died as the result of workplace injury, it is essential that you talk to an attorney before accepting a settlement from an insurance company. A workplace death often leaves family members or other survivors with immediate expenses. Medical bills and loss of income can be overwhelming. But an insurance company is likely to offer you a settlement that is in their best interest – not yours.

If you have been hurt on the job, you deserve to know your legal rights and you deserve to receive all the compensation you are owed. Contact the Sacramento California workplace injury attorneys of Arnold Law Firm today at 916-924-3100.
