Fresno Work Injury Attorneys
Go Beyond Just Workers’ Comp
Many injured people have additional rights for compensation than just what worker’s comp allots. If you have been injured at work, you have come to the right law firm. The law office of DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo have successfully conducted work injury cases for over three decades. Feel free to read this page to learn more about Work Injury cases or just contact us right now to schedule your free initial consultation.
Four Things the Clients Needs
- Honest and full guidance toward immediate and competent medical care;
- A complete law firm that will help you receive your due compensation (monetary and otherwise) to get better and be able to move on with your life;
- An advocate who knows your rights and how to maximize the fair benefits you’re entitled to; and
- An experienced Fresno California Work Injury Lawyer at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo who will examine your case for the possibility of Third Party civil claims.
- Workers' compensation claims only allow a person to receive up to two thirds of their lost income. Third Party personal injury lawsuits have the added benefit of the possibility of recovering 100% of your lost wages.
- The victims are only allowed to receive pain and suffering damages when filing a Third Party claim. Damages for pain and suffering are not awarded for Workers’ Compensation claims.
Why Add the Third Party claim?
The Fresno California Work Injury Lawyers at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo want to be there for their clients in every way possible. This includes helping them recover from their work injuries and win their cases. We investigate every claim in detail to look for additional possible responsible parties beyond just that of your place of work. (The additional responsible parties are legally known as Third Parties). When an accident or injury happens on the job there is definitely the chance that it was caused by more than just the negligence your employer.
When a Third Party is found to be involved in your work injury case, our attorneys will file both a worker's compensation claim and a civil legal cause of action against the additional Third Party. They could be a person, a group of people or a company. A workers’ compensation claim and a Third Party civil lawsuit are separate injury claims that are distinct. These two claims for the same injury, although separate, are closely related and intertwined and need to be strategized for and carried out in a coordinated matter.
Synchronizing the Two Cases
Our lawyers and staff are very seasoned at working on these delicate double case scenarios. We are ready to start the process for you. We have been helping clients whose cases are eligible for both Third Party civil causes of action and Workers’ Compensation claims, simultaneously, since the late 1970s throughout Fresno and California.
Our experience and knowledge is valuable because the two claims and their cases do affect the other, positively and negatively. A mistake in one case at any point during the process can limit your overall rights to compensation in total for both claims. Our firm, though, is very confident that we will continue to successfully win these cases.
The Firm’s Unique Advantage
Our work injury attorneys have specialized in both Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury law. You will only need to work with our one firm instead of having to get a law firm to represent you and your injury for both types of cases. This is a big advantage as our lawyers are used to working with each other and on these types of cases. By handling both claims in the one firm, we get a total view of the injury case that will allow us to avoid the limitations of just having your case to litigation as a Personal Injury case or a Workers' Compensation case. Our seasoned Fresno California Work Injury team of attorneys will work jointly to create the strategy for your cases, interview and arrange for medical expert witnesses for the case, collect all the necessary evidence to support your injury claims, and litigate on your behalf. Sit back and relax as we’re with you all the way.
We Maximize the Total Recovery
We promise to work hard to ensure you get the full recovery that is due to you. We know the system and the laws and we’ll make sure you are taken care of. We know that the California Workers' Compensation Law provides for less compensation than a Third Party claim. Here are two differences with how the two cases differ.
The attorneys of DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo will educate you and advocate for you so you are taken care of for your work injuries, medical expenses, lost income and catastrophic and serious harm.
