San Diego Work Injury Attorneys

Workers’ Comp is Just the Beginning

As you may know, work injury cases are often more complex than just having an injury happen while on the job. For many reasons, you may have additional legal rights for compensation than you think. It is vital that you maximize your work injury case’s scope. You have come to the right place. The law office of DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo has been practicing work injury law for over 30 years. It is possible for you to be awarded more financial compensation than just what the workers’ compensation claim calls for. We will explain everything in detail in how it relates to your case when you call us.

The 4 Things You Need

Comprehensive guidance and help toward immediate, objective, and competent medical care;
An injury law firm that has work injury attorneys who will conduct a quick and successful settlement or trial so you can receive your due compensation (monetary and otherwise), get better and move on;
An advocate who knows how to maximize the full and fair benefits you’re entitled to; and
A seasoned San Diego County California Work Injury Lawyer at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo to investigate your case for potential Third Party civil claims to help you maximize your claim.

Advantages to Including the 3rd Party

The San Diego County California Work Injury Lawyers at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo have made it their life’s mission to help people recover and win their injury cases. They have the resources and experience to maximize your case in a legal and complete way. They will do all they can do to make you whole once more.

That includes the fact that we explore every case in detail to look for additional possible responsible parties beyond just your employer or place of work. The additional responsible parties are known legally as Third Parties. When an injury or accident happens on the job or at the workplace there is still always the chance it has been caused by the negligence of someone (the Third Party) other than your employer. Due to that you could be entitled to receive compensation that goes above that provided under the California workers' compensation laws.

Our firms believe that it is fair for those who had a part in or caused your injury to be a part of your recovery. When a Third Party is involved in your work injury case, the San Diego County California Workers' Compensation attorneys will file both a worker's compensation claim and a civil legal cause of action against the additional Third Party who caused your injury or accident. To be clear: The Third Party could be a person or a company. A Third Party civil lawsuit and a workers’ compensation claim are separate injury claims that are distinct. These claims, although technically separate, are actually closely intertwined and need to be conducted carefully with one overall strategy guiding the two.

The 2 Cases Need to Be Synchronized

Our Work Injury attorneys are very adept and seasoned in carrying out this complex injury case scenario. We are ready to do it for your benefit. We have been representing injured clients who are eligible for both Third Party civil causes of action and Workers’ Compensation claims, simultaneously, since 1979.

The cases that need both a California Workers’ Compensation claim and a civil Third Party work injury claim are a delicate process. This is due to the fact that the claims are intertwined and they affect the other, positively and negatively, at each turn. A mistake, misstep, or mishandling in either case at any point during the legal process can decrease and limit your options and rights to compensation under both claims. Our firm, though, is confident in our ability to continue successfully winning these types of cases in both areas.

Our Unique Advantage

One element that often leads to mistakes in the handling of these types of work injury cases is that a client ends up working with two firms, one for each type of case. It is only natural that two different firms are not likely to act as synchronized or communicate as effectively as one firm. We at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo have attorneys who specialize in both sides housed in one firm. The joint expertise and experience of Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury law practices in the one firm keeps things running very smoothly.

The combined Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury expertise of our attorneys and staff provides both you and your attorney a full view of your case. Our firm offers the added value of being able to streamline both your Workers’ Compensation claim and Third Party civil work injury claim for your maximum potential recovery.

By handling both sides of the case in our one firm, this total view will allow us to avoid the monetary and nonmonetary limitations of just approaching your injury case from a Personal Injury or a Workers' Compensation angle. Our experienced San Diego County California Work Injury team of lawyers work as a team to create your legal strategy, supply medical expert witnesses for the case, collect all necessary documentation and evidence to support your claims, and negotiate and/or litigate for you. We will do all of this and more because we’re with you all the way.

We’ll Maximize the Recovery

The San Diego County California Work Injury lawyers will work hard daily to ensure you receive the maximum possible recovery. They know that the California Workers' Compensation Law provides for less compensation as compared to a third party claim. To illustrate this, here is an example showing that with only a workers' compensation claim you can only receive up to two thirds of the income that is lost. Now, compare that scenario to the scenario with the possibility of recovering 100% of your lost earnings through a civil Third Party personal injury lawsuit.

In addition, work injury victims are only allowed to receive pain and suffering damages when they are also filing a Third Party claim. Pain and suffering damages are not awarded for Workers’ Compensation claims. Our Work Injury attorneys will competently advocate for you to obtain your maximum compensation for your work injuries, lost income and catastrophic and serious harm.

You Heal As We Take Care of the Rest

We want to help guide you through this confusing and tough time. For our firm, though, this is not complicated as we handle work injury cases daily and we consider ourselves experts in the field. We know the goal of most clients: With as little stress as is possible, I want to heal from my injury and receive the fair and full compensation allowable for my injury.

DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo’s goal lines up very well with your goal as it is to take care of the often complex legal procedures to fulfill your goals of healing and receiving your proper settlement or verdict. We want to do this whether you have been the victim of a work injury, hand injury, eye injury, head injury, leg injury, ladder injury, arm injury, burn injury, amputation, foot injury, spinal cord injury, brain injury, or any other serious or catastrophic injury from a machine, saw, press or event at the office, construction site, factory or in a car accident, allow the San Diego County Work Injury Attorneys to help you and give you the confidence that you, your medical care and your legal compensation are in good hands.
