Los Angeles Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

You Work Hard. You Shouldn’t Have to Fight Alone After an Workplace Injury

If you were hurt on the job in Los Angeles, you probably expected your employer’s insurance to cover your medical treatment and lost wages. Unfortunately, that process is not always simple. Delays, denials, and limited medical access can leave you struggling with more questions than support.

At Need Justice Now, APC, our workers’ compensation attorneys in Los Angeles help injured workers across industries and job types. Whether you were injured on a construction site, in a warehouse, while making deliveries, or working behind a desk, we are here to make sure you understand your rights and get the benefits you are entitled to under California law.

Call 888-998-4000 to speak with an attorney about your workers’ compensation claim.

What Workers’ Compensation Covers in California

California law requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. If you are injured while doing your job, the insurance company must cover:

• All necessary medical care related to your injury
• Temporary disability payments while you cannot work
• Permanent disability payments if your injury causes lasting limitations
• Supplemental job displacement benefits in some cases
• Death benefits for eligible family members when a worker is killed on the job

You are not required to prove that your employer did anything wrong. If you were injured at work or while performing job duties, you likely qualify.

We help you file your claim correctly, gather medical documentation, and respond if your benefits are delayed or denied.

Common Workplace Injuries We See

Not all injuries are dramatic or caused by heavy machinery. Many workers suffer from wear-and-tear over time, repeated strain, or falls that could happen in any work environment. We handle claims involving:

• Back and spinal injuries from lifting, falls, or long-term strain
• Traumatic brain injuries from falling objects or sudden impacts
• Broken bones, torn ligaments, and joint damage
• Burns and electric shock from job site hazards
• Occupational illness from toxic exposure
• Amputations and crush injuries on construction or industrial sites

If your injury resulted in long-term disability, we may also advise you on filing a catastrophic injury claim or exploring permanent disability classification.

How the Workers’ Compensation Process Works

After your injury, you must report it to your employer as soon as possible. You will be asked to fill out a claim form, and your employer should send it to their insurance company. From there, your benefits may begin. In reality, it is not always that smooth.

You may be told to see a specific doctor or have trouble getting a diagnosis approved. You might receive checks that are too low or not receive them at all. You could be forced back to work before you are ready.

That is where we come in. Our Los Angeles workers’ compensation lawyers step in to make sure your claim is handled properly, that your rights are protected, and that you get the care and income support you need.

When a Third-Party May Be Involved

In some cases, your injury was caused not by your employer, but by someone else. That is called a third-party claim, and it may allow you to recover damages in addition to your workers’ compensation benefits.

For example:

• A delivery driver injured in a car accident caused by another motorist
• A construction worker injured by a subcontractor’s negligence
• A warehouse worker hurt by defective equipment

In these situations, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit alongside your workers’ comp claim. We will help you evaluate your options and take action if a third party was involved.

What If Your Claim Is Denied?

Claim denials are common, especially if the insurance company claims your injury is not work-related or says you waited too long to report it. You have the right to challenge that denial, but the process is time-sensitive and complex.

We handle the appeal process, request a hearing if necessary, and present medical evidence and testimony on your behalf. The sooner you involve a lawyer, the better your chances of avoiding unnecessary delays or procedural mistakes.

Why Your Choice of Lawyer Matters

Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, but that does not mean the process is fair. Insurance companies may push back, delay treatment, or offer partial benefits. If you are facing surgery, missing months of work, or living with long-term pain, you should not be left to deal with this on your own.

At Need Justice Now, APC, we work with doctors, specialists, and vocational experts to make sure your case is properly documented and your benefits reflect what you are going through.
