Protecting Your Rights In Workplace Accident Cases

Workplace injuries can occur in any environment, but certain industries - such as manufacturing, construction, and maritime work - pose higher risks. Common workplace accident cases we handle include:

Construction Accidents: Falls from heights, scaffolding collapses, and machinery malfunctions.
Manufacturing & Industrial Accidents: Injuries from defective machinery, electrocution, or toxic exposure.
Toxic and Hazardous Material Exposure: Lead poisoning, asbestos exposure, and other chemical-related injuries.
Oil Field Accidents: Burns, explosions, and hazardous material exposure.
Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI): Chronic injuries caused by repetitive motion in the workplace.

We are committed to holding negligent parties accountable, whether it's an employer, equipment manufacturer, or third-party contractor.

Wage & Hour Law Violations

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.

Maritime & Federal Workplace Injury Laws

Frequently Asked Questions About Workplace Injuries Cases

What should I do if I get injured at work?

If you're injured at work, you should first report the injury to your employer as soon as possible. Seek medical attention immediately, even for minor injuries, and follow any protocols set by your workplace. Be sure to document the incident, take photos if applicable, and record all medical treatment. Last but not least, contact KAASS Law to ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.

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. These benefits can cover medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. Even if the injury was your fault, workers' compensation typically covers the costs, though there may be exceptions depending on the circumstances.

How long do I have to file a workers' compensation claim?

In California, you must report your 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 process can be complicated, and missing deadlines can affect your case. Consulting with our attorneys ensures that you don't miss any crucial timelines and that your claim is handled correctly from start to finish.

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. If you are fired or face any form of retaliation after reporting a workplace injury or filing a claim, you may have grounds for a wrongful termination lawsuit. Our attorneys at KAASS Law can help protect your rights, hold your employer accountable, and guide you through the legal steps to ensure you receive the compensation and protection you deserve.
