Workers' Compensation Claims Process in Fresno & Visalia

Want To File A Worker's Comp Claim?

Have you suffered illness or injury resulting from a work-related circumstance? If so, you can file for workers' compensation benefits, which may cover all of the following damages:

  • Medical care
  • Rehabilitation
  • Wage replacement

In order to recover benefits, you will need to file a claim with the assistance of our Fresno workers' compensation attorney. The state of California has a one-year statute of limitation for filing a workers' compensation claim. For that reason, you should take immediate action and discuss your case during a free case evaluation with the Law Offices of Bryan K. Leiser.

What to Do After Suffering an Injury

  • Your first step after sustaining an injury is to notify a supervisor or manager of your condition.
  • After notification has been given to the employer, you should submit a report regarding the injury to California's workers' compensation board.

In some cases, the physician will discover that the injury or illness has been sustained as the result of work. The doctor will then ask you to fill out a claim for workers' compensation. No matter which situation most closely resembles your own, you will need to take an instant action to ensure that all documents are filed on time.

What is the Timeframe for Reporting a Work Injury?

In California, you must report your work injury to your employer within 30 days. If you do not do it within the timeframe, you may be denied workers' compensation benefits.

The workers' compensation system can either accept or reject your claim for benefits. If your claim has been rejected, you can appeal with the state workers' compensation board. In many cases, neither your employer nor your insurance carrier will dispute the claim and it will be approved. In order to ensure that your workers' compensation process proceeds smoothly, you must have adequate documentation and representation.
