Let's face it, California workers' compensation claims are unbelievably frustrating for employers and insurance carriers. Not only do they disrupt your business flow and cause emotional distress, but they also raise your insurance premiums. Even worse, these claims can be expensive to litigate, and the claims are often disingenuously filed to get a quick cash settlement just to see your employee start a new job after they get their settlement money. When a business owner and their insurance carrier have a claim filed against them, it's personal. Our firm was founded to provide the most personal, attentive defense services in the industry. Our clients are our VIPs, and we work tirelessly to ensure you get the very best results for the best price with the least impact on your emotional well-being and business activities--we take this mission very personal.
