TO WORKERS' COMPENSATION BENEFITS

The California Workers’ Compensation is a system designed to provide benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. It is a no-fault insurance program, meaning that injured workers can receive medical care and other benefits regardless of who was at fault for the injury.

Workers’ compensation exists to protect both employees and employers. For employees, it ensures access to medical treatment, wage replacement during recovery, and other necessary support following a workplace injury or illness -- providing a safety net for injured workers. For employers, it provides protection from lawsuits by offering a structured process for resolving claims.

At Kropach and Kropach, we understand that navigating the workers’ compensation system can feel overwhelming during such a challenging time. Whether you are dealing with mounting medical bills, lost wages, or uncertainty about your future, you deserve an advocate who will fight for your rights with compassion and determination.

For over 50 years, our Encino based workers’ compensation firm has been committed to helping injured workers throughout southern California secure compensation for their injuries. We believe that no one should have to face this journey alone—and we are here to guide you every step of the way.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

The g logo in a green circle.

“I needed big time help with my case as I tried to manage it myself without a good outcome. I tried to avoid hiring a lawyer, but boy was I glad I hired Mr. Kropach. I interviewed three lawyers before Bill, and he shined compared to them. The others just wanted to put me on a treadmill of other cookie cutter cases. Bill treated me with care and individuality, and he examined my case carefully. I was immediately impressed with his track record and his dedication to voluntary unpaid community services. This lawyer cares, and before I met Bill, I thought no lawyer would ever truly care about a client. It’s rare. Bill also got me a lifetime award through a special fund that I had never heard of and no other lawyer I interviewed suggested. Mr. Kropach knows his stuff and never gave me any bad advice. If you want honesty and care through a difficult time you need not look any farther.”

“I hired Mr. Kropach for my workers’ compensation claim about three years ago. I was suffering severe pain in my elbow as a result of my job. Mr. Kropach was superb in helping me settle this case. During the entire process, I was receiving medical treatment and he regularly met with me to discuss my case. During my deposition he was extremely supportive and explained to me the entire process which helped me become comfortable. I would highly recommend Mr. Kropach to anyone who needs assistance with a workers’ compensation claim.”

“I have known Bill for over 25 years. He is personable and very knowledgeable in the area of workers’ comp. My experience during this very stressful time has been excellent. His staff is courteous and efficient and always kept me up to date with my case. Their attention to detail has been exemplary, as a client would expect from his attorney. I recommend this attorney to anyone with a workers’ comp case.”

- Donna

“I have an 18-year-old workers’ compensation case. Mr. Kropach never gave up or settled for anything less. He kept fighting for my rights to win. He realized I was in the right and he never once asked me to just give up. I won my case 100 percent.”

- Edward

“I have been lucky to have William Kropach handle two different workers’ compensation cases in the last several years that exceeded all of my expectations. Not only was Mr. Kropach professional and courteous but he sincerely cared about my well being and made sure I received a settlement in proportion to my injuries. Before I hired an attorney I researched a certified workers’ compensation specialist in the area and Mr. Kropach’s name continually came up. I recommend his services to anyone who is seriously injured and in need of professional help.”
