Answers to common workers’ compensation questions
When should I contact a workers’ compensation attorney?
Consider speaking with an attorney when a work injury causes missed time, significant medical treatment, permanent limitations, a denied claim, delayed benefits or a dispute about whether the injury is work related.
What benefits may be available after a California work injury?
Depending on the facts, benefits may include authorized medical treatment, temporary disability payments, permanent disability compensation, supplemental job displacement benefits and death benefits for eligible dependents.
Can I bring a claim if my injury developed over time?
Potentially. Repetitive lifting, typing, tool use, standing and other repeated job duties may cause a cumulative trauma injury. Medical evidence and the work history are important.
Can Montoya Law help with a denied workers’ compensation claim?
Yes. A denial does not necessarily end a claim. We review the denial, medical evidence, reporting history and deadlines, then explain the available options.
How much does a workers’ compensation consultation cost?
Montoya Law offers a free initial case evaluation in English or Spanish. There are no upfront attorney fees.
