ENCINO WORKPLACE INJURY ATTORNEY
Have you suffered a workplace injury? Secure your deserved workers' compensation benefits.
Every worker has the right to a safe working environment, but unfortunately, this is not always the reality. In Southern California, numerous workers endure hazardous conditions or faulty equipment, resulting in potentially life-altering injuries. As an on-the-job injury lawyer, I am William J. Kropach. With over 50 years of experience, my legal team and I have successfully assisted many workers in obtaining the rightful workers' compensation benefits to cover medical bills, damages, and lost wages.
Even when no one is at fault, a work place injury can arise-- it can happen as a result of an accident that occurred, or it can be the result of wear-and-tear, a cumulation of stress on the body resulting in injuries like carpal tunnel, disc herniations, strains, sprains and tears, and loss or cartilage. In general, Workers' compensation insurance covers all workers who sustained an injury that is at least partially contributed by work activities. Thankfully, in general, it will not matter whether any particular person, through recklessness, negligence or intent, caused a work place injury.

Work-related injuries vary, ranging from stress-related conditions (like depression) to internal medicine injuries (like high blood pressure or heart attack) to orthopedic injuries (like spine and joint injuries). Many injuries, however, stem from the negligence of others, such as slips and falls or accidents involving heavy lifting. Occupational hazards extend to exposure to dangerous chemicals and germs, leading to illnesses or diseases. Professions like hairdressing, mechanics, and cleaning entail exposure to chemicals, while factory workers and catering professionals face risks of burns, electrical shocks, and lacerations. Healthcare workers may contract illnesses or sustain injuries like abrasions, incisions, or needle punctures.
