Compensation for Injured Workers in the Inland Empire

Anyone who has been injured on the job can seek damages by filing a workers’ compensation claim. Typically, workers’ compensation benefits include medical care, rehabilitation expenses, and disability coverage to compensate the worker for lost wages.

Dependent family members of workers who are killed on the job might be entitled to death benefits through workers’ compensation. It is always advised to seek appropriate legal help when dealing with complex workers’ comp situations.

Obtaining legal representation from a personal injury lawyer in San Bernardino can save you financially when dealing with fighting against insurance companies and large or small businesses and corporations.

However, in California, workers’ compensation benefits are woefully inadequate. Learn more about California Workers’ Compensation laws at www.dir.ca.gov/dwc/.

Although workers’ compensation can provide monetary and medical benefits to injured workers, temporary and permanent disability payments are usually quite low and do not compensate the worker for losses such as pain and suffering.

Workers’ compensation also does not provide punitive damages to penalize employers for poor safety controls or hazardous conditions in the workplace.

In some cases, in addition to workers’ compensation, injured workers or families of deceased workers can file what is known as a “third-party claim” against a party other than the employer who may have caused or contributed to the injury or illness.

Here are some examples of situations in which you may be able to file such a third-party claim:

  • If you were injured on the job by negligence on the part of a general contractor or sub-contractor, you could file a claim against those parties.
  • If you became ill as the result of exposure to a toxic substance, you may be able to bring a toxic tort lawsuit against the manufacturer of that substance.
  • If a defective product injured you, you may be able to file a product liability lawsuit against the product manufacturer.
  • If you suffered an injury at work due to a dangerous condition on the property, then the property or building owner can be held liable.
  • If negligence on the part of a utility company caused a fire, explosion, or electrocution, that party can also be held liable.

Bisnar Chase Google Review

I had an attorney for my truck accident who wanted almost 60% of what my case was worth. Worse than that, he was willing to settle for $5,000.00 with the insurance company even though I was still treating for whiplash and back pain. I contacted Bisnar Chase Personal Injury Attorneys because a friend recommended them. My case was handled exceptionally well! I was being kept notified throughout the whole process and only when I was comfortable with the settlement figure, did my attorney Gavin Long, accept it. I felt like we were working together and I felt listened to. I would refer Bisnar Chase to anyone who wants quality over quantity!

Bisnar Chase Review - Natalie

I’m so impressed with this law firm. I lost my mother because of a seat defect when she was rear-ended in an auto accident and Bisnar Chase stepped up and took our case. The staff is wonderful and Brian Chase took his time explaining everything via phone with me. I’m honored to have the best of the best working on our family’s behalf, trying to get justice for my Mom, because of a negligent car company still manufacturing faulty seats. I look forward to working with this firm and am hopeful for a positive outcome. Thank you so much, Brian Chase. I know you will work your hardest on this case. God Bless you.

Bisnar Chase Google Review - Lena

I wasn’t sure if I needed a personal injury attorney because I’d never been in a car accident before. I assumed I’d just go straight through the other driver’s insurance but that quickly became a nightmare. I spent months fighting over the simplest of issues about my case, which was 100% the other driver’s fault. I hired Bisnar Chase to see if they could just take it over for me. I was really impressed with how much they communicated everything to me! I suddenly started getting calls from the insurance company, imagine that. My final settlement was 6 times what I asked for to begin with. Everyone I dealt with was really involved in what was best for me, not the insurance.
