Pasadena Workers Compensation Attorney

When you go to work every day, you do so under the assumption that you will be taken care of in the event you are injured on the job. However, there are times when an employer or insurer delays or denies a claim. At the Law Offices of Kropach & Kropach, we are ready to investigate your workplace injury in order to secure the compensation you deserve. Our Pasadena workers compensation attorneys have the resources and experience necessary to go up against anyone who tries to deny your rightful workplace injury coverage.

What Are The Most Common Workplace Injuries And Illnesses?

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there are around three million workplace injuries and illnesses each year in this country. While not all of these are considered serious, there are many injuries that workers can sustain that will significantly impact their daily lives and ability to work. Out of the nearly 500,000 injuries that California workers sustained during the latest reporting year, many of them suffered from the following:

• Severe lacerations or amputations
• Neck and back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries
• Sprains and strains
• Broken or dislocated bones

However, there are many workplace injuries and illnesses that happened over longer periods of time due to exposure and repetitive stress. We regularly help clients who have:

• Hearing and vision loss
• Respiratory illnesses or other chronic workplace illnesses
• Certain types of cancer caused by exposure
• Repetitive stress injuries
• Mental health injuries

Why Would An Attorney Be Necessary?

Unfortunately, there are times when injured workers do not receive the compensation they are entitled to after a workplace injury. A workers compensation attorney may be necessary if:

• Your workers comp claim is denied
• Your disability rating is disputed
• You had a pre-existing condition that was aggravated by the work injury
• You are having trouble getting medical treatment
• Your ability to work has been affected
• You are required to attend a workers compensation hearing

In these cases, most injured workers do not have the resources or experience necessary to take on their employer for the insurance carrier. An attorney will act as your advocate, someone to equalize the playing field.
