What if I am being pressured not to file a Workers Compensation Claim?

If you are injured at work and then pressured to not file a workers compensation claim, you setting yourself up for disaster. By not filing a workers compensation claim you are seriously jeopardizing your risk of receiving California workers compensation benefits.

We strongly urge you not to submit to the pressure to not file a workers compensation injury. By waiting, you are playing into the insurance company's hand. They will use your delay to deny your claim. Invariably the insurance company will contend that you were injured off the job and now you are falsely claiming your injury occurred at work.

If you are being pressured to not file a workers compensation claim, you are - in effect - putting your employer's interests over your own. Employers have a variety of reasons for wanting you NOT to timely report your work injury. Some employers give bonuses or awards for an "injury free" workplace. Then the supervisors pressure workers to "hold off and not report a work injury." Happens all the time.

Here is the deal. When you are being pressured to hold off and not report a work injury, ask the person that is pressuring you if they will sign a statement saying that you reported the work injury, but they wanted you to "hold off" on filing a claim. Don't count on them signing such a statement.

Under California law, you gain generous protections of the law AFTER you file a claim (called a DWC-1). For example, If you are fired before filing the claim (which happens a lot more than you might think); then you may be barred from bringing your claim. If you have already filed your claim, then the law protects you. Here are more rights gain once you file the DWC-1.


Let Us Handle Everything. We Have the Knowledge and Resources You Need

If you are being discriminated at work because you were injured, talk to an experienced California workers compensation attorney first. Workplace discrimination claims often involve in-depth investigation. Informing your employer of your intent to file a discrimination claim after your injury sometimes results in management destroying or withholding important records. When you hire us, we handle everything discretely and professionally. While you and your family concentrate on your medical recovery, we will concentrate on ending the discrimination and getting you compensation for your work injury.


Don't Wait, Act Now!

If your employer has pressured you in to not filing a workers' compensation claim or if your California workers' compensation insurance carrier has told you that you do not qualify for California workers' compensation benefits contact us.

Do not rely on the California workers' compensation insurance adjuster or your employer to give you proper legal advice as it relates to your California workers' compensation benefits. Workers' compensation in California is a multi-million dollar industry and your employer's interests as well as the California workers' compensation insurance company's interests are not likely to be what is best for you, an California injured worker.


There are short and critical deadlines for you to obtain California workers' compensation benefits and if you do not pursue your benefits within the deadlines you may to be forever barred from obtaining benefits. California workers' compensation can provide for lifetime benefits if properly pursued. Don't wait, act now!
