Getting hurt on the job should be simple: you report the injury, get the care you need, and receive the benefits the law promises. That’s how the system was sold. The reality? Insurance companies often delay, deny, and dispute claims. Employers pressure you to return before you’re healed. Every form, every phone call, every deadline is designed to trip you up. That’s why you need an advocate who knows the system inside and out — someone who fights for your recovery instead of their bottom line.

At Pratt Law Corporation, we’ve spent decades helping injured workers navigate California’s complex workers’ compensation process, standing up to insurance companies when they try to minimize your recovery. What Is Workers’ Compensation? Workers’ compensation is a state-mandated insurance program that provides benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. In California, most employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance, which means you’re entitled to benefits regardless of who was at fault for your injury. These benefits can include medical treatment, temporary disability payments while you recover, permanent disability compensation if you can’t fully return to work, vocational rehabilitation, and more. However, getting the full benefits you deserve often requires experienced legal representation. Why Workers Choose Pratt Law Corporation We Specialize in Workers’ Compensation Unlike general practice firms, we focus exclusively on workers’ compensation and workplace injury cases. This specialization means we understand every aspect of California workers’ comp law and how to maximize your recovery. We Handle Everything When you hire us, you focus on healing—we handle the insurance companies, paperwork, doctors, and legal process. Our goal is to remove the stress and confusion so you can concentrate on getting better. No Upfront Costs We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay unless we win benefits for you. There’s never any money due upfront for our legal services. Decades of Combined Experience With over 65 years of combined experience, our attorneys have handled thousands of workers’ compensation cases throughout California. We know how insurance companies operate, and we know how to fight back when they deny, delay, or minimize your claim. Types of Workplace Injuries We Handle Workers’ compensation covers virtually any injury or illness that occurs as a result of your employment. We represent injured workers across all industries and injury types. Here are the most common cases we handle: Back and Spine Injuries Back injuries are among the most common workplace injuries in California, affecting workers across nearly every industry. Whether you’ve suffered a herniated disc from lifting heavy objects, spinal cord damage from a fall, or chronic back pain from repetitive strain, these injuries can be debilitating and may prevent you from returning to your previous job. Insurance companies often dispute the severity of back injuries or claim they’re pre-existing conditions. Our attorneys know how to document your injury properly, connect you with medical experts who understand workers’ compensation cases, and fight for the full benefits you deserve—including permanent disability compensation if you can’t return to full duty. Repetitive Motion Injuries Carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and other repetitive motion injuries develop over time rather than from a single incident. Workers who perform the same movements day after day—whether typing, assembly line work, scanning items, or operating machinery—are particularly vulnerable to these conditions. Because these injuries develop gradually, insurance companies often try to deny claims or argue the injury isn’t work-related. We help establish the connection between your job duties and your injury, ensuring you receive the medical treatment and compensation you need. These cases require specialized medical documentation, and we know exactly how to build a strong claim. Construction Accidents Construction sites are among the most dangerous work environments in California. Falls from heights, equipment accidents, electrocution, struck-by injuries, and caught-in/between hazards cause thousands of serious injuries every year. Construction workers face unique challenges because they often work for subcontractors or on sites with multiple employers. We cut through the confusion of construction injury cases. When multiple contractors, subcontractors, and employers are involved, insurance companies try to shift blame and minimize payouts. We identify all potentially liable parties, untangle complicated employment relationships, and fight to ensure you receive full benefits—no matter how many companies try to dodge responsibility. Our experience includes scaffolding collapses, crane accidents, trench collapses, and electrocution injuries. Slip, Trip, and Fall Injuries Workplace falls can result in fractures, head trauma, spinal injuries, and soft tissue damage. These accidents happen across all industries—from wet floors in restaurants to uneven surfaces on construction sites to cluttered walkways in warehouses. Insurance companies often try to blame the worker for not being careful, even when the employer failed to maintain safe conditions. We investigate the circumstances of your fall, gather evidence of unsafe conditions, and hold employers accountable for failing to provide a safe workplace. Even seemingly minor falls can result in serious, lasting injuries that deserve full compensation. Falling Object Injuries Workers struck by falling objects—whether tools, materials, merchandise, or equipment—can suffer catastrophic injuries including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, fractures, and soft tissue injuries. These accidents are particularly common in construction, warehousing, and retail environments. Employers have a legal obligation to secure materials, provide proper storage, and ensure overhead work is conducted safely. When they fail in these duties and you’re injured as a result, you’re entitled to full workers’ compensation benefits. We hold employers and insurance companies accountable for failing to prevent these preventable injuries. Machine Entanglement and Equipment Injuries Industrial accidents involving machinery can result in some of the most severe workplace injuries—crush injuries, amputations, lacerations, and traumatic injuries. Workers operating or working near machinery, including forklifts, manufacturing equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial tools face serious risks. These cases often involve questions about proper training, equipment maintenance, and safety protocols. We investigate whether proper safeguards were in place, whether you received adequate training, and whether equipment was properly maintained. In some cases, you may have claims beyond workers’ compensation if defective equipment contributed to your injury. Burn Injuries Workplace burns—whether from chemicals, electrical sources, explosions, or thermal contact—cause excruciating pain and often result in permanent scarring and disability. Workers in manufacturing, construction, food service, chemical processing, and many other industries face burn risks daily. Burn injuries frequently require extensive medical treatment including skin grafts, reconstructive surgery, and long-term rehabilitation. Insurance companies often try to minimize the permanent impact of burn injuries. We ensure your injuries are fully documented and that you receive compensation for a Workers’ Compensation FAQ | California Work Injury Questions Skip to main content Skip to footer About Services Service Areas Results FAQ Contact About Services Service Areas Results FAQ Contact Free Case Review Frequently Asked Questions Common questions about California workers' compensation claims. Getting Started Do I need a lawyer for my workers’ compensation case? While you’re not legally required to have an attorney, having experienced representation significantly improves your chances of receiving full benefits. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working to minimize payouts—you deserve someone fighting for your interests. Even if your claim seems straightforward now, complications often arise during settlement negotiations or when determining permanent disability ratings. An attorney ensures you’re positioned for maximum recovery from the start. When should I hire a workers’ compensation attorney? The sooner, the better. Early representation helps you avoid common mistakes that can hurt your case later. If your claim has been denied, your benefits have stopped unexpectedly, or you’re being pressured to settle quickly, you need an attorney immediately. Even if things seem to be going smoothly, consulting with an attorney ensures your rights are protected throughout the process. How much does a workers’ compensation attorney cost? Workers’ compensation attorneys work on contingency, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Attorney fees are capped at 15% of your recovery under California law, and you only pay if we win benefits for you. A skilled attorney typically recovers significantly more than the 15% fee costs, making legal representation a valuable investment in your case. Benefits and Payments What benefits am I entitled to under workers’ compensation? California workers’ compensation provides several types of benefits: medical treatment (all necessary care fully covered), temporary disability payments (typically two-thirds of your average weekly wages while you can’t work), permanent disability compensation (if you have lasting impairment), vocational rehabilitation (if you can’t return to your previous job), and mileage reimbursement for medical appointments. The specific benefits you receive depend on your injury and circumstances. When will I start receiving temporary disability payments? If a doctor determines you’re temporarily unable to work due to your work injury, you should begin receiving temporary disability payments within 14 days of the insurance company learning about your disability. These payments are calculated as two-thirds of your average weekly earnings, up to the state maximum. If payments are delayed or denied, an attorney can help expedite the process. Why did my temporary disability checks stop? Temporary disability payments typically stop when: your doctor releases you to return to work (whether you actually return or not), you’ve reached maximum medical improvement (permanent and stationary status), you return to modified work at your regular pay, or you’ve received the maximum 104 weeks of benefits. The insurance company must notify you in writing within 14 days explaining why payments stopped. If your checks stopped without explanation or you disagree with the reason, contact an attorney immediately. Can I receive other benefits if temporary disability stops but I still can’t work? Yes. If you’ve reached permanent and stationary status, the insurance company must begin advancing permanent disability payments within 14 days of your last temporary disability check. You may also be eligible for state disability benefits through EDD, and your case might be ready for settlement discussions. An attorney can evaluate all available options for continued support. Medical Treatment My employer hasn’t sent me to a doctor. What should I do? California law requires employers to provide medical treatment for work injuries. If your employer is ignoring your request for treatment, contact an attorney immediately. We can arrange for you to see an appropriate doctor at no cost to you and ensure your claim is properly filed. Can I choose my own doctor? After the first 30 days of treatment, you have the right to change to a doctor of your choice within the medical provider network (MPN) if your employer has one. If there’s no MPN, you can switch to any doctor you prefer. If you’re unhappy with your current doctor—especially if you feel they’re prioritizing the insurance company’s interests over your health—you have the right to change physicians. What if I’m being treated by a “company doctor”? Company doctors often prioritize getting you back to work quickly over your complete recovery. If you feel rushed, your concerns aren’t being heard, or your treatment isn’t adequate, you have the right to change doctors. An experienced attorney can connect you with medical professionals who will prioritize your health and accurately document your injuries. Claims Process Does my employer have to give me a claim form? Yes. Your employer must provide a workers’ compensation claim form (DWC-1) within one working day of learning about your injury. Both you and your employer complete portions of the form. Your employer must give you a copy within one working day after you file it. Keep this copy—it’s important documentation. The claims administrator (usually the insurance company) then has 90 days to accept or deny your claim. What happens if my claim is denied? A denied claim doesn’t mean you’re out of options. Many denied claims are successfully appealed. Common reasons for denial include disputes about whether the injury is work-related, missed filing deadlines, or lack of medical evidence. An attorney can investigate why your claim was denied, gather supporting evidence, and file an appeal on your behalf. Should I apply for state disability through EDD? If your workers’ compensation claim is denied or significantly delayed, you can apply for state disability benefits through the Employment Development Department (EDD) as temporary support. However, you cannot collect both EDD disability and workers’ compensation temporary disability simultaneously. If your workers’ comp benefits begin while receiving EDD payments, notify EDD immediately to stop those benefits. Working with Insurance Companies The insurance company is cooperating now. Do I still need a lawyer? Yes. Insurance adjusters work for the insurance company, not for you. While they may pay benefits initially, their goal is to minimize what the company pays you—especially during settlement negotiations. Early attorney representation ensures you’re seeing the right doctors, your injuries are properly documented, and you’re positioned for maximum recovery when it’s time to settle. Waiting until problems arise often means damage has already been done to your case. Will I get more money if I hire a lawyer? Statistically, represented workers receive significantly higher settlements than unrepresented workers, even after attorney fees. Skilled attorneys know how to document injuries properly, challenge low permanent disability ratings, negotiate effectively with insurance companies, and ensure all benefits are maximized. The 15% attorney fee is almost always far exceeded by the increased recovery a good attorney achieves. Changing Attorneys Can I switch lawyers if I’m dissatisfied with my current representation? Yes. You have the right to change attorneys at any time if you’re unsatisfied with your representation. The 15% attorney fee doesn’t increase—it’s simply split between your current attorney and any previous attorneys. Your case and your recovery are too important to continue with representation you don’t trust. Still Have Questions?

Searching on Yelp for a good lawyer I came across this firm. Best thing ever! I’m so happy I found them. Nick was very helpful first time I went in. Josh handled my case and was the BEST!!! I normally don’t write reviews but for them I HAD to. I would most definitely recommend them. Josh and Nick if you guys read this, THANK YOU so much for everything I’m truly grateful for the help and fighting for me and what was right. Will forever be grateful to you guys. Thank you!!” — Diana V. “They made the process easy and painless” “They are the best! I have never been through any kind of lawsuit before and they made this easy and as painless as possible.

Would recommend them to family and friends…Thanks so much guys!” — Aja T. “My case was a nightmare but became much easier once they took over” “Very professional. They took time to answer any questions when I would call. My workers comp case was a nightmare but became much easier to handle once they took over. I got a good settlement to end my case as well. I recommend Ainbinder and Pratt.” — Ray O. “I received more than I ever expected” “They did an outstanding job on my personal injury case, Dan and Josh were more than helpful and willing to answer my questions and to make sure I wasn’t stressed out. Dan especially helped me out with medical bills and I received more than I ever expected. To Dan and Josh, thank you!” — Deuce S. “This is the best law firm out there” “This firm is the only firm I would recommend to anyone. I am very pleased with what they have done for me and my family, especially Josh Harrer. I have been with them for almost a year and a half. They got me my checks for workers comp, authorizations for my treatment, and the doctor they refer you to is a professional. Everything is a process, it takes time. The firm has no control over the insurance company, but they put pressure on the insurance company to get things done. Long story short when my case was about to close Josh Harrer was there for us, he stood by our side made sure everything was in the best interest of me and my family. He gave me good advice, got us more than I had in mind, also he got me a voucher to go to school. Honestly, this is the best law firm out there, no scams and they don’t waste your time.” — AI R. “They lifted all the burden off my back” “Last year I was injured on the job and truthfully had no clue what to do or how I was going to do it. After searching around, I chose Ainbinder & Pratt to represent me for my case. Given my age, I had no clue how Workman’s Comp works nor did I ever think I would be placed in a position where I would be injured enough to need it. It was a scary experience but now that it is all said and done, I am so thankful I chose Ainbinder & Pratt for my case. The staff is very friendly and prompt. They explained the whole process to me step by step. Malia was very informative whenever I called. I had so many questions and she had an answer for all of them. They made sure I was seeing the right doctors to receive the help Workman’s Comp was denying me and basically lifted all the burden off my back so all I had to worry about was my recovery.” — Jennifer R. “They helped me get through a harrowing back injury” “The lawyers at Ainbinder and Pratt are second to none—they helped me get through a harrowing back injury and made sure that I received just compensation. They responded to any inquiries punctually and always gave me solid advice as I recovered from injury. Thanks for all your help!!” — Josh C. “Someone was always there to answer my questions” “I was very happy with the service I received. Someone was always there to answer my questions or get back to me the next day. I never had to travel to them—we handled everything through fax and computer. A friend recommended them to me and I would recommend them to others.” — Cindy B. “I absolutely love this firm” “I absolutely love this firm. I never actually met them in person, and that is what makes my opinion of them even higher. They took care of me through my on the job injury, torn shoulder, twice with the company. They were attentive, and didn’t push me into any decision without covering all the options out there for a financial recovery. They worked with the company I worked for, and everything ended peacefully and without problem. My settlement was more than fair, my shoulder got repaired, and would totally call upon them again! The firm I used up here in Oregon was the worst experience of my life. If you are ne Michael D.
