Injured at Work?
Get the Benefits & Justice You Deserve
If you’ve been hurt on the job in Irvine, you may be entitled to medical care, lost wages, and a cash settlement — but the system won’t make it easy. Employers and insurance companies routinely delay, deny, and underpay valid workers’ comp claims.
At Employees First Labor Law, we represent injured workers across Irvine and Orange County who’ve been pushed aside by the system. We fight to make sure our clients receive every dollar — and every treatment — the law provides.
Whether your injury happened at a corporate campus in the Spectrum, a retail store in The District, or a healthcare facility near UCI, we’re here to protect you.

We know the local insurance carriers, medical groups, and QME/AME evaluators — and we know how to build winning cases in this jurisdiction. We’ve handled cases against major self-insured employers, public agencies, and private companies across the region — and we know how to pressure them to settle on your terms.
