Workers’ Compensation

Every employee is at risk for a work-related injury, regardless of their occupation.  Work-related injuries can often be traumatic and potentially lead to a significant interference in one’s life.  Such injuries may be:

• Sudden, such as falling off a scaffold, or
• Long term, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or back pain as a result of heavy lifting, or
• Caused by unsafe working conditions

Workers’ compensation insurance carriers are legally obligated to provide certain benefits to workers who suffer an injury.  Such benefits include

• Medical treatment
• Temporary/permanent disability payments
• Lump-sum payment

Legitimate workers’ compensation claims may sometimes be denied by insurance companies, who may either deny that you have been injured or claim that your case does not qualify for workers’ compensation benefits because your injury is not severe enough.  Without representation, you will be at a disadvantage before the California Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board, and may not be able to receive essential benefits, such as medical coverage and financial support. 

If you or a loved one has suffered a work-related injury,  you want to be represented by a qualified and experienced attorney who can guide you through the labyrinth of Workers’ compensation claim process.  This is especially critical now because all the recent changes in the law make it much more difficult to receive the benefits that you truly deserve.  Since 1993, the Law Offices of Haleh Shekarchian has handled thousands of cases in the areas of California Workers Compensation law.   We assure that our clients receive the maximum benefits they are entitled to by aggressively pursuing the insurance companies.
