An experienced workers' compensation attorney in California.

What is workers' compensation?

California workers' compensation benefits are designed to provide you with the medical treatment you need to recover from illnesses or injuries due to workplace accidents. Benefits are available to partially replace the wages you lose while you are recovering and to help you return to work. Workers' compensation does not include damages for pain and suffering or punitive damages.

The system exists as a historic compromise between workers and employers — workers get treatment promptly rather than waiting through civil litigation, and employers avoid that litigation. The tradeoff only works when you have someone in your corner who knows the law.

Common work accidents and injuries we handle.

I handle workers' compensation cases that involve a variety of common work-injury situations:

• Auto accidents & highway incidents
• Construction injuries & falls from scaffolding
• Slip-and-falls
• Workplace violence
• Factory accidents (being caught in or compressed by machinery)
• Repetitive motion and stress injuries
• Overexertion & being struck by an object
• Explosions and electrical or wiring burns
• Injuries due to faulty machine guards

My team and I have helped workers with back injuries, neck injuries, broken bones, muscle tears, strains and sprains, carpal tunnel, burns, amputations, PTSD, and fatal work injuries.

Putting clients first — always.

I make it my mission to put you, the client, at the forefront of everything I do. My team and I will explain the process in clear terms, ensuring you're never left in the dark. We strive to make sure you feel heard, supported, and confident that your case is in capable hands.

Representing workers from all walks of life.

Every worker deserves compensation and medical coverage for work-related injuries, no matter their field. I stand up for:

• Construction workers
• Warehouse staff
• Office workers
• Drivers, truckers, and delivery personnel
• Disneyland employees
• Health care providers, including nurses and doctors

Pursuing lifetime benefits for disabled workers.

My commitment to you extends beyond just filing claims. I also tackle more complex issues, like claims under the California Subsequent Injury Benefits Trust Fund (SIBTF). This fund is designed to provide lifelong benefits for disabled workers who already had a disability or impairment before suffering a work-related injury. Not all lawyers delve into this niche area — it's a big part of my practice.

If you had a disability or injury before this one, tell me early. Under a California law effective July 13, 2026, the medical evidence needed for a SIBTF claim generally has to be gathered during your workers' comp case — not in a separate evaluation afterward. Raising it now, while your case is open, protects your right to those lifetime benefits. Learn more about SIBTF claims.

Pay nothing out of pocket for high-caliber representation.

I handle all workers' compensation cases in accordance with California law. You don't pay out of pocket for my services, and I'm not paid until your claim is resolved and my fees are approved by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. Attorney's fees normally range from 9% to 15% of your total benefits.
