At Arash Law, we focus on advocating for our clients to pursue adequate recompense for their injuries and losses. Our goal is for our clients to start rebuilding their lives after these life-altering events and identify those who may be potentially responsible.

Arash Law Advocates For Workplace Accident Victims
If you have been injured in a workplace accident, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries and losses. Injured workers can qualify for workers’ compensation, regardless of who is at fault. In some cases, you may be able to bring a personal injury claim after a work-related injury as well, but the claim will typically need to be against a party apart from your employer. Some examples of work-related accidents that often allow injured workers to file personal injury claims include those caused by defective work equipment or those involving the negligence of an independent contractor or a third party (e.g., maintenance company, equipment manufacturer, or security contractor).
Arash Law Can Protect Your Right To Workers’ Compensation
Workers’ compensation rights are established by state law. Every state has different laws and requirements, so it is important to work with an attorney who has experience with California workers’ compensation claims. Workers’ compensation provides benefits to most employees who are injured while performing their job duties, regardless of who is at fault. But there are other requirements. For example, you should see a doctor promptly after your injury and obtain appropriate documentation of all your treatment. You must document your lost wages and submit that claim within the required timeframe. You might also have additional claims that can supplement your workers’ compensation; this is why consulting a personal injury lawyer about your workers’ compensation rights is important.
