SAN JOSE & SALINAS WORKERS’ COMPENSATION ATTORNEY SERVICES
Trusted Workers' Compensation Counsel Proudly Representing San Jose & Salinas Since 1985
California employers must provide workers’ compensation benefits to employees who become injured or sick while performing work-related duties. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, which means you do not need to prove someone else caused your injury to receive benefits. This also means that you may receive compensation even if you were partially at fault in the incident leading to your injuries.
At Accident Recovery Legal Center, we help our clients file for workers’ compensation to recover the benefits to which they are entitled. We guide our clients through every stage of the claims process to ensure they obtain the full amount of benefits granted to them under California law. We encourage you to give us a call today to arrange a free consultation.
Construction Site Accidents
Jobs in the construction field carry several risks. Operating large machinery, completing tasks while raised several stories above the ground, and navigating busy construction sites put you at risk for injury. If you’ve suffered injuries due to a construction site accident, we are here to help you obtain the workers’ compensation benefits you need to support your recovery.
Agricultural Workers
The manual labor agricultural workers perform leaves them susceptible to work-related injuries. Just like employees in other industries, agricultural workers are eligible to receive workers’ compensation coverage through their employer if they suffer a work-related injury or illness.
Hospitality Workers
Those who work in the hospitality industry may develop repetitive stress injuries, experience chronic neck or back pain, suffer negative health outcomes from chemical exposure, or become injured in a slip-and-fall accident. We are ready to help you secure your workers’ compensation benefits from your employer so you can focus on your recovery.
Healthcare Professionals
Healthcare professionals prioritize the health and safety of others, yet they are susceptible to workplace injuries themselves. If you have sustained a work-related injury such as a stress fracture, exhaustion, repetitive stress injury, or an injury stemming from a slip-and-fall accident, we can help you obtain workers’ compensation benefits.
Office Workers
Many office workers develop repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) due to performing daily, repeated movements or tasks. If you suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic neck pain, tendonitis, herniated discs, or hearing loss, you may be entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits.
Equipment Injuries
If your job duties include operating heavy machinery, you may be at increased risk of sustaining a work-related injury. If operating specialized machinery in your workplace has led to an injury, you have the right to pursue workers’ compensation benefits. Call us today to get started.
COVID-19
Many essential workers, such as medical professionals, grocery store employees, people with manufacturing and delivery jobs, and those who play similarly critical roles continue to put themselves at risk of infection every day. If you have reason to believe that you contracted COVID-19 while on the job, you are entitled to pursue a workers’ compensation claim under California state law.
