Question 1

Does it cost anything to get a case review?

Accepted Answer

No. The initial case review is 100% free with no obligation. If a partnering attorney takes your case, they work on a contingency basis — meaning you pay nothing unless you receive compensation.

Question 2

Who qualifies for workers' compensation in California?

Accepted Answer

You may qualify if you were injured while on the job or during work hours, the injury happened in California within the last 5 years, and you have not already settled or dropped a claim for that injury.

Question 3

What does workers' compensation cover?

Accepted Answer

Workers' comp can cover medical bills, lost wages, ongoing treatment, disability benefits, and more — depending on the nature and severity of your injury.

Question 4

What if my employer says it wasn't their fault?

Accepted Answer

California workers' compensation is generally a "no-fault" system — you don't have to prove your employer did anything wrong to be eligible. You only need to show the injury happened in the course of your work.

Question 5

What if I'm worried about losing my job for filing?

Accepted Answer

It is illegal in California for an employer to retaliate against you for filing a workers' compensation claim. A specialist can explain your protections.

Question 6

How long do I have to file?

Accepted Answer

California has strict deadlines for workers' comp claims. Since the accident must have happened within the last 5 years to qualify here, the sooner you check your eligibility, the better.

Question 7

Is my information confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Everything you share is kept strictly confidential and is only used to review your potential claim.

Question 8

What happens after I submit my information?

Accepted Answer

After you complete the quick quiz, a representative will review your details and reach out to discuss your situation and next steps. Intake is available 24/7.

Question 9

Do I need documents or proof to get started?

Accepted Answer

No. You don't need paperwork to complete this review. If your claim moves forward, the team will guide you on what's needed.
