Workers' Compensation Claims Process in Fresno & Visalia
Want To File A Worker's Comp Claim?
Have you suffered illness or injury resulting from a work-related circumstance?
If so, you can file for workers' compensation benefits, which may
cover all of the following damages:
- Medical care
- Rehabilitation
- Wage replacement
In order to recover benefits, you will need to file a claim with the assistance
of our Fresno workers' compensation attorney. The state of California
has a one-year statute of limitation for filing a workers' compensation
claim. For that reason, you should take immediate action and discuss your
case during a free case evaluation with the
Law Offices of Bryan K. Leiser.
What to Do After Suffering an Injury
- Your first step after sustaining an injury is to notify a supervisor or
manager of your condition.
- After notification has been given to the employer, you should submit a
report regarding the injury to California's workers' compensation board.
In some cases, the physician will discover that the injury or illness has
been sustained as the result of work. The doctor will then ask you to
fill out a claim for workers' compensation. No matter which situation
most closely resembles your own, you will need to take instant action
to ensure that all documents are filed on time.

process proceeds smoothly, you must have adequate documentation and representation.
