Injured at Work in Los Angeles?
Get the Treatment and Compensation You Deserve
If you were hurt on the job — whether in the fields, a warehouse, hospital, or office — California law guarantees your right to medical care, wage replacement, and compensation. But too often, insurance companies delay, deny, or underpay.
At Employees First Labor Law, we fight for Fresno workers who were injured and left to suffer. We’ve recovered millions of dollars for employees across California — and we don’t get paid unless we win your case.
What Does a Workers’ Comp Lawyer in Los Angeles Do?
California law requires your employer to carry workers’ compensation insurance to cover your injuries — but that doesn’t mean they’ll treat you fairly. Employers and their insurance companies often look for excuses to deny or delay care, stop benefits, or push you into settling for far less than you deserve. That’s where we come in. At Employees First Labor Law, we:
File your workers’ com claim and protect your rights from Day One
Fight back against denied or delayed claims
Demand that your medical care be approved & paid for
Ensure you’re receiving the full Temporary Disability (TD) benefits you’re owed
Challenge bad QME or AME reports that undervalue your injury
Negotiate fair lump-sum settlements (Compromise & Release)
Take your case to trial before the WCAB if necessary
We Protect you against retaliation
We also pursue Serious & Willful Misconduct claims and retaliation claims when your employer punishes you for getting hurt or filing a claim.

️Don’t Let the Insurance Company Delay or Deny You
In many cases, you have just 1 year from the date of your injury to file a claim. Waiting too long can cost you your case — even if it’s strong. Let us file, fight, and win while you focus on healing.
