Workers' comp lawyers · Central Valley
We represent people hurt at work in warehouses, packing sheds, fields, kitchens, trucks and hospitals. Come to the office nearest your job, or talk with a lawyer by phone first.
No fee up front: our fee is a percentage of the benefits you receive, within the limit the law sets. Some case costs, such as copies of medical records or a doctor's report, may also be paid from your benefits; we tell you before we spend on any.

Each office has its own lawyer and staff, and each one runs a claim from the first call to the last check.

A back strained on the pallet jack, knees worn out on concrete, a fall from a ladder, a burn on the fryer line. A workers' comp claim can cover your medical care and part of your pay while you heal.

Clients
“I hurt my shoulder on the sorting line and kept working because I was afraid of losing the job. The Merced office explained, in Spanish, what I could ask for. The checks started while I was still in therapy.”
“After the crash, two insurance companies kept calling me. Leonel told me to stop answering and took both claims: the comp claim and the one against the other driver.”
“My claim was denied because I hadn't reported the injury that same day. Ofelia found the text I sent my lead that night, and the insurer accepted the claim.”
Sample testimonials. Every client's case is different, and how one claim ended doesn't predict another.
