Workplace Injury Lawyer in Agoura Hills - Get Compensation Now

Injured at Work? Discover Your Rights

Did you know that if you have suffered an injury in the workplace, there may be other sources of compensation available to you besides workers’ compensation benefits? Workers may be eligible to file a claim against their employer if an unsafe working condition caused the accident, or even a third-party claim if an unsafe product caused their injuries.

If you have suffered an injury in the workplace, contact a Los Angeles work injury lawyer at Effres & Effres so we can discuss the options and compensation available to you, apart from workers’ compensation benefits. We offer our services for residents throughout Southern California, including Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Ventura, and all surrounding counties.

Understanding Compensation After a Workplace Injury

You are eligible for workers’ compensation regardless of whose fault the accident was. However, most individuals don’t know that workers’ compensation benefits may not be the only source of benefits available when an accident occurs at work. In some cases in which the accident was caused by the negligence of another party, the third party can also be held liable.

Examples of Third-Party Claims:

  • If a defective product such as a defective tool injured you, you can name the manufacturer of the equipment or tools in a third party claim.
  • If you were injured in a slip and fall accident on a slippery floor that was not cleaned properly by a cleaning and servicing company, you could name the cleaning company in a third-party claim.
  • If you were in an accident caused by defective scaffolding, you may be able to name the contractor as liable for erecting the scaffolding.

Third-party claims are not possible in every situation. These claims must be identified on a case-by-case basis.

Protect Your Rights After a Workplace Accident

If you have been injured in a workplace accident and want to know whether there are other sources of compensation available to you besides workers’ compensation benefits, contact our office to schedule a consultation with a Los Angeles work injury lawyer at Effres & Effres.

We can work with your workers’ compensation lawyer to maximize your overall recovery; and if you do not have a workers’ compensation lawyer, we can refer you to a trusted colleague to evaluate the workers’ compensation claim as well.

  • "Your sincerity and concern of my well-being was above and beyond."
    Dear Steven Effres, I just wanted to thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work in settling my personal injury case. I could not ask for more from you and your staff. Your sincerity and concern of my well-being was above and beyond anything I could have wished for. I’m currently in the process of getting my real estate license, and making a couple of real estate investments. Thank you for giving me the freedom to start a new life for myself and children. I could not have done it without you. Sincerely yours

  • "Justice was done."
    Dear Mr. Effres, I was the juror that took your card and assured you I’d call, as time is such a premium in our lives, dropping you a line is much easier. Thank you for the offer of our suggestions and/or comments. What impressed me the most and what seemed the be a determining factor was the diligence in which you presented the evidence, your depth of conviction for Maria’s case was deeply felt. Your calmness in dealing with the judge with the study in the strength of the human character! The only suggestion I would make (and this is coming from a color consultant point of view) would be to wear dark suits, white shirt and a striking tie (LOVE THE SCALE OF JUSTICE TIE), other than that – change nothing. Please pass on my best wishes to Maria even though the money could not begin to suffice for her injury the quality of her life may be enhanced, they are a beautiful family and were represented by a compassionate, thorough, competent lawyer. Justice was done. God bless you. by K. R.

  • "Thanks to you, you made a bad topsy-turvy affair a very easy ordeal."
    Dear Mr. Effres, We just once again wanted to thank you so very much, for your fine (I should say “great”) handling of Anne’s case. We have never had to “go to court,” or sue anyone in the past and really had no idea where to start with any of the details. Thanks to you, you made a bad topsy-turvy affair a very easy ordeal on our behalf. And my husband and I really appreciate the time and effort you gave the case. I hope we never have to do anything like this again, but should something like this happen you can be sure of hearing from us again – Thank you very, very much. With warmest regards
    - F & D
