To ensure your rights are not violated and to connect you with top medical professionals so you receive quality treatment and get your life back on track.
If you got hurt or sick at work in the state of California, you are legally entitled to compensation for your medical treatment and missed income. Your employer is mandated by state law to have workers’ compensation insurance to protect you from injury or illness. Let our Southern California team assist you in getting the medical treatment you deserve and the monetary compensation that you are owed for your injury or illness.
In the real world, the insurance company only cares about its own bottom line. And the workers’ compensation system is highly complex. Imagine your life before your work-related injury: No frustration over insurance paperwork, no anxiety over paying medical bills, no fear about missing income, no pain.
SoCal Workers Comp exists to make your life feel a little more fair during a difficult time. We are honest legal counselors and strong advocates for injured workers. We believe in a standard of care that treats you like family. We want you to recover your wellbeing and compensation that’s fair. We can help make that easier for you. We will work your case for no fee upfront.
We are paid on a contingency fee basis, which is a percentage of the final settlement or award for your case. That means we are just as motivated as you to win the most compensation possible.
