Our workplace injury attorneys are committed to holding negligent parties accountable, whether it is an employer, equipment manufacturer, or third-party contractor.

In addition to workplace accidents, employees may face wage-related disputes that violate their rights. Common issues include:
- Unpaid Wages: Ensuring employees are compensated for all hours worked.
- Overtime Violations: Fighting for proper payment of overtime hours.
- Wage Theft: Addressing employers who unlawfully withhold earnings.

Frequently Asked Questions About Workplace Injuries Cases
What should I do if I get injured at work?
If you are injured at work, you should first report the workplace injury to your employer as soon as possible. Seek medical attention immediately, even for minor injuries, and follow any workers’ compensation protocols set by your workplace. Be sure to document the incident, take photos or videos if applicable, and record all medical treatments and doctor visits. Last but not least, contact KAASS LAW workplace injury attorneys to seek the recovery you may be owed, and to help you file or appeal your workers’ compensation claim and recover the benefits you deserve after an on-the-job injury.
Am I entitled to workers' compensation for a workplace injury?
In most cases, if you are injured while performing your job duties, you are entitled to workers' compensation benefits under California’s law. These benefits can cover medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. Even if the work injury was partially your fault, workers' compensation insurance typically covers the costs, though there may be exceptions depending on the circumstances of the accident.
If you are unsure about your eligibility or have a claim denied, contact an experienced California workplace injury attorney at KAASS LAW to help protect your employee rights and seek to recover the compensation you deserve.
How long do I have to file a workers' compensation claim?
In California, you must report your workplace injury to your employer within 30 days of the incident, and you typically have one year from the date of injury to file a workers' compensation claim. However, the workers’ compensation process can be complicated, and missing important filing deadlines can seriously affect your ability to receive benefits. Consulting with our experienced workplace injury attorneys at KAASS LAW prioritize tracking your deadlines to assist in filing your claim on time, all required forms and documentation are properly filed, and that your claim is handled correctly from start to finish to protect your employee rights.
Can I be fired for filing a workers' compensation claim?
No, it is illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee for filing a workers' compensation claim or reporting a workplace injury. If you are fired, demoted or harassed after defending your rights, you may have grounds for a wrongful termination or workplace retaliation lawsuit. Our workplace injury attorneys at KAASS LAW can help protect your employee rights, hold your employer accountable, and guide you through the legal process to seek the recovery you may be entitled to after a work injury claim.
