If you have been injured while working for your employer, Bowman & Associates will fight for you to obtain the full range of workers’ compensation benefits owed to you. Workplace injuries can include on-the-job injuries due to a specific event like a slip and fall as well as injuries that occur over time due to repetitive physical activities, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and back and leg problems. Workplace injuries can also include work-related illnesses such as hypertension, heart disease, breathing problems, or conditions related to exposure to toxic chemicals or fumes. Bowman & Associates will represent your rights and needs however your workplace injury came about.
California law requires employers to carry Workers’ Compensation insurance, unless they are specifically qualified to insure themselves. The insurance carried by the vast majority of employers may cover medical expenses, lost wages during disability from your injury, and compensation for your temporary or permanent disability. As most people know, seeking adequate coverage from an insurance company is rarely a simple or easy process. Determining what benefits and compensation you are entitled to can give rise to complex issues which may lead to disputes between you, your employer and your employer’s insurer. To navigate this process, you will need a tireless advocate for your rights to make sure you receive appropriate compensation and medical care for your injuries.
Workplace issues can also involve a third party if someone other than your employer was partially or completely responsible for causing your injury. Bowman & Associates has a great deal of experience in personal injury actions. Combining this experience with our Workers’ Compensation practice, we will ensure that whatever the circumstances, you are properly compensated and cared for your work-related injuries.
