Frequently Asked Questions

Can I recover workers compensation if I was partially at fault for my injury?

In California, workers compensation covers most job-related injuries regardless of fault. Even if you made a mistake, you're generally entitled to benefits. However, you may lose benefits if you were willfully disobeying safety rules or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Rocha & Schmidt can evaluate your specific circumstances.

What is permanent disability in workers compensation?

Permanent disability refers to lasting impairment from a workplace injury that affects your ability to work. You may receive permanent disability benefits based on the extent of your impairment. A permanent disability rating determines your compensation amount. Your attorney helps ensure you receive an appropriate rating.

What happens if my workers compensation claim is denied?

You have the right to appeal a denial. Rocha & Schmidt can gather medical evidence, identify procedural errors, and represent you in the appeals process. Many claims initially denied are successfully overturned on appeal with proper legal advocacy.
