Fullerton Work Comp Lawyer
Helping You Obtain Workers' Compensation Recovery
You may be entitled to monetary benefits if injured on the job. Certain work related injuries are covered under workers' compensation laws. The Anaheim, California, law firm of Mitchell A. Shapiro, Inc. will examine your case. Workers' compensation eligibility is limited to injuries caused in the course and scope of your employment.
We represent clients seeking compensation for their medical bills and lost wages in Riverside and Orange Counties. If injured at work, you may be entitled to the following benefits.
- Temporary and Permanent Disability
- Medical Treatment
- Vocational Rehabilitation or Voucher
You may be entitled to a qualified medical examiner's appointment. You need to consult a PTP physician who can offer a credible diagnosis. We have more than 30 years of experience dealing with doctors in workers' compensation cases. You can either stipulate to an agreed medical examiner (AME) or if stipulation is not available then a Qualified Medical Examiner (QME) may be requested. An AME doctor's report is paramount to the determination of your injury and rating.
- Lump Sum Settlement: Your award can be in the form of a lump sum settlement. This is accomplished by signing a compromise release agreement.
- Stipulated Award: If you are able to return to work, you cannot receive a lump sum payment. If you are able to return to work you will still be entitled to a stipulated award once the rater has rated your case. Before receiving a stipulated award, we must prove that you are permanent and stationary.
At Mitchell A. Shapiro, Inc., we are out to get you all of the appropriate benefits that you are entitled to. Your injuries must be permanent and stationary before you are entitled to permanent disability benefits. Until then you are entitled only to temporary disability benefits if you qualify.
Workers' compensation laws in California have changed. You may have a more difficult time obtaining benefits than before. We have stayed abreast of current changes in the law, and can advise you about them.
You have a limited period to file a workers' compensation claim. Call or fill out the contact us form to setup a free initial consultation with a lawyer at Mitchell A. Shapiro, Inc.
