Workers' Compensation
While workers' compensation may be the exclusive recourse for obtaining compensation when injured on the job, your claim costs your employer and its insurance carrier money. It is in the financial interests of the claims adjuster to value your claim as low as it can, or if possible, to deny it altogether.
At Tomassian, Pimentel & Shapazian, our attorneys work to make sure you get the time off and medical care you need to fully recover from your work-related injury. We represent you through the entire claims process, including before the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. We handle:
- Toxic torts - exposure to chemicals and other occupational health dangers
- Medical evaluations - helping clients get treatment outside of the medical providers network when necessary
- Disability rating - temporary total disability (TTD), permanent disability rating
We also represent people who have been terminated or otherwise unlawfully retaliated against for filing a workers' compensation claim. For more information on our workplace discrimination and retaliation practice, see our employment law page.
