The Workers' Compensation System In Fresno County and The Surrounding California Regions

Attorney Gilbert Fisher has practiced workers' compensation law in California for over two decades. We understand the national, state-wide, and local laws that can affect your claim. Learn more about the workers' compensation system we can help guide you through...

No-Fault System

California has a no-fault system for workers' insurance compensation. This system protects both the employer and the employee. Employees cannot sue their employer for a personal injury, but injured employees do not need to prove that their employer was at fault in order to receive compensation for a work-related injury.

No Lawsuits

In most cases, injured workers cannot file a personal injury lawsuit against their employer because of California's no-fault system. If you're not sure what legal action to take, Mr. Fisher can review your case for free and recommend the legal direction that will yield the best results.

Timing Matters

When it comes to filing a workers' compensation claim, the sooner you act, the better. A workplace injury needs to be reported to your employer within 30 days. Once your employer is notified, they must give you your claim within one working day.

Steps for Injured Workers  And How Gilbert Fisher Can Help

Having a workers' compensation lawyer guide you through the proceedings can help ensure everything is carried out in a timely fashion.
Having a workers' compensation lawyer guide you through the proceedings can help ensure everything is carried out in a timely fashion.

Medical Evaluation

If you have sustained a work-related injury, it is important to see a doctor. However, the presence of a work-related injury may not be immediately obvious. Injuries may develop over time due to stress or repetitive strain. Seek medical attention as soon as you start to notice symptoms, even if you are unsure about the seriousness or cause of your condition. This is important not only to ensure proper treatment but also to acquire the proper documentation of injury to receive your workers' compensation benefits.

Know Your Rights

While there are some exceptions, most employees are eligible for workers' compensation benefits. Nevertheless, the law is complicated, and insurance companies and employers can find reasons to deny a claim even if the case seems black and white. It is important to know your rights, and seeking counsel from a workers' compensation lawyer can be extremely useful. Gilbert Fisher knows the intricacies of the law and will offer advice and assistance as to the best course of action. 

Claims and Legal Action

Employees must meet certain deadlines in order to pursue a workers' compensation claim. Navigating this process can be stressful, especially when you are already dealing with a serious injury. Having a workers' compensation lawyer guide you through the proceedings can help ensure everything is carried out in a timely fashion and appropriate legal action is taken to get you the benefits you deserve.

Legal Resources for Clients

Insurance & Workers' Compensation

California law requires every business to provide some form of workers' compensation insurance in the event that an employee is injured or becomes ill as a result of their work. While limits are set on how long workers' compensation benefits may last, every employee should expect to receive them in full.

Personal Injury & Workers' Compensation

Filing a workers' compensation claim normally prevents employees from pursuing a personal injury suit against an employer. However, if a claim overlaps with a workplace injury or wrongful death lawsuit against the employer, clients will need help from an attorney to navigate the resulting legal complexities.

Types of Work Injuries

We often think of work injuries as slip and fall accidents and other physical injuries. While these are some of the accidents covered by workers' compensation insurance, they aren't the only form of injury covered. Learn more about the types of work injuries that may entitle you to compensation. 

If you are unsure whether your injury warrants workers' compensation or a personal injury suit, contact the law offices of attorney Gilbert Fisher today. Mr. Fisher can look at your case and give you the best advice on how to proceed.
