OUR FEATURED SERVICES
Workers’ Compensation
California employees work hard every day. Unfortunately, there are times when employees are injured or die on the job. In addition, workplace accidents, repetitive behaviors, unsafe conditions, and more, can cause employees to suffer an injury that prevents them from doing their job. California workers’ compensation is a type of benefits system that can provide medical care to injured employees. The system also provides wage replacement when an employee is unable to work or unable to perform the same level of duties as before the accident. These benefits are available to workers regardless of fault. Furthermore, if an employee dies as a result of the workplace injury, surviving family members may be eligible to receive benefits.It is unlawful for employers in California to terminate an employee because they have filed a workers’ compensation claim. If you have suffered a serious workplace or work-related injury, our firm can make a difference in helping obtain the benefits to which you are entitled. Do not be intimidated and do not neglect to file a claim for the workers’ compensation benefits to which you are entitled, under state law.
If you are unsure whether or not you are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, the legal team at the Meliora Law Firm is here to help you. We will thoroughly and diligently review your claim and help you decide how to proceed with your case.
