In just one year, more than 300 fatalities occurred in California due to
a work-related event. This does not take into account the hundreds of

spending the majority of their time on the job, it's no wonder that
injuries on the job are so common.
If you're suffering as a result of a work-related injury, it is time

life difficult, but you've come to the right place. As a nationally
recognized firm, The Law Offices of Todd J. Stearn, P.C. is more than
qualified to help you recover your deserved compensation. An
Oakland County personal injury attorney from our team is prepared to assess your case from the moment you call.
Am I entitled to workers' compensation?
One of the first questions people ask after getting injured on the job
is – how does workers' compensation affect me? California employers
are required to carry workers' compensation and this can work in your
favor. It is, however, a complex process that may take months to resolve.
After receiving medical care and reporting the incident to your employer,
it is time to file your claim. If your employer approves your claim, workers'
compensation benefits will likely kick in right away to compensate your losses.
The benefits you may receive include:
- Medical care
- Temporary disability benefits
- Permanent disability benefits
- Supplemental job displacement benefits
- Death benefits
Unfortunately, employers are allowed to deny your claim. An injury that
is not covered by workers' compensation may result in the denial of
a claim, but you can challenge the decision.
Retain our award-winning Oakland personal injury attorney!
Whether your claim has been denied or you haven't yet filed, it is
imperative to act quickly. The state imposes certain deadlines on work
injury claims and this can prevent you from getting compensated for your
suffering.
