Aggressive Representation For Workers’ Compensation Claims
In California, workers who are injured on the job are entitled to seek workers’ compensation benefits for medical care, time away from work and other considerations. However, employers and their insurance companies can prioritize their own interests over their obligations to injured workers, leaving employees to navigate a complex and intimidating system alone.
At Mitchell & Powell, A Professional Law Corporation, our seasoned attorneys fight for the rights of injured workers and ensure they seek the benefits they deserve. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, designed to provide financial support to employees who suffer injuries or become ill as a result of their job.
The process of filing a claim and receiving benefits can be lengthy, as employers may dispute the validity of a claim, argue that an injury is not work-related or attempt to minimize the extent of an employee’s injuries. Our attorneys, both certified by The State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization as workers’ compensation specialists, have over 60 years of combined experience navigating this complex system and advocating for the rights of injured workers in Visalia and across the state.
