There Is No Cost to Assess Your Case... It's FREE
Work injury cases can be complicated, and many people don’t realize they may be entitled to a lump-sum settlement even if they’re already receiving monthly benefits from the insurance company. Anthony Choe will carefully review every part of your claim to make sure you’re receiving all the compensation you’re entitled to.
Insurance companies work hard to limit what they pay out, and they often hope injured workers won’t seek legal help. But while they rely on their own legal teams, you deserve someone standing up for your rights as well.

Common Questions Injured Workers Ask
What should I do after being injured on the job?
Begin by reporting your injury to your supervisor and seeking medical care. Taking these important first steps can help ensure your needs are met.
What if my claim is denied? Can I appeal?
Many workers’ compensation claims are denied. Appeals are simply part of the standard process for many injured workers.
What if I cannot perform my job anymore?
The question of whether or not a worker can continue to do his or her job is always central to workers’ compensation claims.
What if someone died outside of work from something that happened at work?
A workers’ compensation claim can be filed for loss of life as long as the circumstances that caused the death happened at work such as exposure to harmful fumes or some other hazardous situation.
What benefits can I gain from my workers’ compensation claim?
Workers’ compensation benefits cover the following:
- Medical costs
- Temporary or permanent disability benefits
- Vocational training if you cannot return to your previous role
- Partial wage replacement
- Funeral costs in the event of a worker’s death
If I was partially at fault for my workplace injury, can I still file for workers’ compensation benefits?
Yes, workers’ compensation benefits are available regardless of fault. However, you are not eligible for benefits if you were intoxicated at the time of your injury or if you intentionally harmed yourself.
How long do I have to file a workers’ compensation claim in California?
You have one year from the date of your injury or onset of your illness to file a workers’ compensation claim. We recommend filing your claim as soon as possible so necessary evidence is still available. Waiting to file your claim can make your case much more difficult to prove.
Can my employer fire me for filing a workers’ compensation claim?
No. Your employer cannot fire you or otherwise retaliate against you for filing a workers’ compensation claim. If they do, we can help you file an employment law claim against your employer.
What should I do if my workers’ compensation claim is denied?
It is not unusual for an initial workers’ compensation claim to be denied. You can appeal your denied claim with the help of an experienced workers’ compensation attorney.
Initially, your claim was only assessed and denied by the insurance company. With an appeal, a workers’ compensation judge will evaluate your situation and determine whether you are eligible for benefits.
Can workers’ compensation benefits cover a preexisting injury?
If a work-related activity aggravated a preexisting injury or illness, you can claim workers’ compensation benefits. California treats the aggravation as a new injury.
These types of claims can be trickier to prove and may require medical evaluation in addition to legal help from a skilled workers’ compensation attorney.
Will workers’ compensation benefits cover my entire paycheck?
In California, workers’ compensation benefits cover up to two-thirds of your pre-tax paycheck. The state also caps the maximum amount that you can collect. The limit is adjusted each year for inflation. You cannot go above the maximum set cap, regardless of your standard paycheck amount.
Can I sue my employer in addition to filing for workers’ compensation benefits?
No. If you accept workers’ compensation benefits, you lose your ability to file a lawsuit against your employer. We can evaluate your situation and advise which route you should take.
