You are entitled to notify your employer in advance of any injury as to the name of the workers' compensation doctor you would select in the event of any injury occurring at work. Otherwise your employer may have the right to send you for treatment to a doctor of their choice. Even then, you may have the right to request a change of physician. Once you consult an attorney you have more options so you should not attempt to handle your case yourself as you may lose valuable rights. If you suffer an injury at the workplace, you should report it as soon as it occurs and then seek the advice of attorneys such as ourselves. Again YOU MAY LOSE VALUABLE RIGHTS BY ATTEMPTING TO HANDLE YOUR WORK-RELATED INJURY CASE ON YOUR OWN! The secret is to seek an attorney as soon as you can for appropriate advice.

Did you know that an accident occurring when going to and from the doctor's office can be compensable as a "Comp" case? If you are receiving treatment related to your "Comp" case and you are involved in an accident while traveling to or from treatment facilities you may be able to collect benefits for a disability caused by the accident in addition to other damages.

Internal injuries related to heart, internal or stroke may be related to work stress and environmental conditions. Cases regarding workers dying on the job from their occupation or as a result of stress on the job may result in compensation being paid to family or the dependents of the worker.

It is not possible to detail all of the circumstances that lead to benefits for workers. Hence we invite you to call ( 661 254-7064), e-mail, or fill out our contact form to inquire about your injuries and compensation cases. If we decide to accept a case from you, we will discuss the matter in more detail and will put our agreement to represent you in writing. Remember, we cannot represent you unless we arrive at a written agreement; you need have no worry about communicating with us to see if you have a case we can take.
