How We Can Help With Your Workers’ Comp Case

A Redding firm focused exclusively on workers’ compensation law.

Our adept attorney will help you establish a legal plan that accurately reflects your goals. Every workers’ compensation case presents different challenges. That’s why we make it a top priority to tailor our legal services to each individual we represent.

Medical Care:

The law entitles you to reasonable medical care to cure or relieve the effects of your work-related injury or illness. Strict time deadlines may limit your rights when the insurance company denies authorization for your medical care. Learn how an experienced workers’ compensation attorney can help.

Temporary Disability:

When your injury interferes with your ability to perform your job duties while recovering from a work-related injury or illness, the law provides for compensation called Temporary Disability (TD). Complex rules control your entitlement to this benefit. Let us help.

Permanent Disability:

An injury that leaves you with permanent disability entitles you to Permanent Disability (PD) benefits. The law provides various ways of calculating PD, called a rating. We will assist you in obtaining the highest rating possible.

Medical Evaluations:

A qualified medical evaluator (QME) is a physician who evaluates you when issues arise about what benefits you should receive. Success in this essential step in the claims process requires the oversight of an attorney.

Help Getting Back to Work:

If an injury or illness prevents you from continuing your current job, you will need help returning to work. That requires knowing your rights. Let us help you author a new chapter in your life.

Denied Claims:

When the insurance company denies your claim, you may need to prove that workers’ compensation should cover your injury. You have a right to challenge the denial but deadlines exist. Let my office help you appeal the denial of your rights to compensation.

Other Complex Claims:

If you have preexisting disabling health conditions, your injury may entitle you to benefits from the Subsequent Benefit Trust Fund for the combined effects of your disabilities. Let us help you navigate these complicated claims to ensure you obtain all workers’ compensation benefits available.
