STEPS TO TAKE AFTER YOUR ACCIDENT
First and foremost you need to seek medical
attention for your injuries. Emergencies that
require a hospital visit will be reimbursed by
the employer. The employer may provide the name
and information of a doctor or emergency room
where to get treatment. When at the medical
facility inform the staff that this is a workers
comp case. Some employees lose benefits by not
informing the doctor who has to take additional
steps in a workers comp claim.

FILING A WORKERS COMP CLAIM
California workers comp claims have two major
steps involved. The first step is to report the
injury sustained to your employer. They will then
give you a workers comp claim form to send to
the employers insurance carrier. The next step
is to contact a Los Angeles workers compensation
attorney who will complete the workers comp
application through the court. These need to be
done to get all eligible benefits. Within 14 days
of filing a claim, the insurance company will be
contacting you denying your claim, stating it is
under investigation or issuing temporary
disability payments.

MISTAKES TO AVOID WHEN FILING A CLAIM
There are a few common mistakes people make when
filing a claim that costs them thousands in lost
benefits. The first mistake is not reporting the
incident, to begin with, or improperly reporting
it. The employer of the insurance company will
deny the claim stating the incident was not
properly reported. The most important mistake
people make is failing to hire an experienced
lawyer.

HOW A LOS ANGELES ATTORNEY CAN HELP
A Los Angeles workers compensation attorney can
file a claim form and application or review a
filed claim and file a new application. It is
important to keep in mind that filing a claim and
filing an application is very different.
Attorneys can identify potential problems with
your claim like deadline issues or pre-existing
conditions. If you failed to contact an attorney
prior to filing a claim and it was denied it can
be looked over
