Family Member or Spouse Hurt on the Job?

Southern California Hurt Spouse Workers Compensation Attorneys

Is Your Partner’s Work Injury or Illness Impacting You and Your Family?


Life can be challenging enough when a loved one brings work, or the effects of it, home. But when a loved one is injured or sick on the job, that strain sticks around every minute they’re off the clock.

When a family member or spouse is hurt on the job, there’s no time to waste. Every day that passes is another day of growing financial uncertainty. Workers’ compensation is a right, but companies can often make employees feel intimidated and overwhelmed by seeking it.

• Slip and falls
• One-time serious illnesses
• Debilitating recurring illnesses
• Cumulative trauma injuries
• Permanent disability
• Temporary disability
• Burns


No company is too big to be held accountable. Your loved one has rights that must be protected. Our team of family and spouse workers' comp attorneys will secure the compensation your family deserves. You can focus on your loved one’s recovery. Their injury is our fight.

FAQs About Workers Comp When Your Partner’s Hurt on the Job

If your partner was hurt on the job and you are now facing the daunting and complex prospect of navigating the Southern California workers’ compensation process, it is normal to have more questions. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we get from spouses like you.

My husband was hurt at work by their supervisor. What are my options?

When a loved one is hurt on the job, it’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and frustrated, especially if you feel the company is ignoring your concerns. The most important first step is to immediately file a workers' compensation claim. In California, this claim is handled by the state's Division of Workers’ Compensation.

While it is possible for a family member to file on behalf of an injured loved one, the process is complex and often requires navigating significant red tape, especially with a large company. You may encounter a lack of cooperation from the employer, claim denials from the insurance company, or inadequate settlement offers.

The best way to ensure the claim is handled correctly is to hire a workers' compensation attorney. An attorney who specializes in these cases can help with the paperwork, fight on your behalf, and work to secure the medical treatment and financial compensation your family is entitled to.
