Workers Compensation
Your Health and Your Rights Are Our Priority
The recent work of Perona, Langer, Beck, Serbin and Mendoza has dramatically increased your rights under California workers compensation law. On April 21, 2008, our workers compensation attorneys successfully argued that injured workers can treat with and be examined by a physician of their choosing - a much needed victory against the restrictive new California workers compensation law.

You have the right to a safe and healthy workplace. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury on the job, make sure you know what kind of benefits you might receive under workers compensation insurance coverage. Your employer is required to carry workers compensation insurance coverage and should provide you with a workers compensation claim to complete and return. Basic workers compensation (also known as work comp, workman's comp, worker's comp, and workmen's compensation) benefits usually include...
- Medical treatment
- Temporary disability payments
- Permanent disability payments
- Lump sum payment options
In some instances, legitimate work comp claims may be denied by aggressive compensation insurance companies. An insurer can claim you have not been injured, or that the injury you have suffered is not serious enough to qualify for workers compensation benefits. In this situation, you may unfairly lose critical benefits, such as medical care coverage, financial assistance, and lump-sum payments.
If you or a loved one feels that your legitimate workers compensation claim has been denied or if your employer or the insurance company is simply giving you the run around, give us a call. The workman's comp attorneys with Perona, Langer, Beck, Serbin and Mendoza have extensive experience in assuring clients have received what they are entitled to under workers compensation law. If you live in the California or Arizona area, please email us or contact us at (800) 435-7542 for a free consultation.
