Filing a Third-Party Claim

If your injury was caused by the negligent or reckless actions of a third party, in addition to filing a workers' compensation claim, you may also have a third-party claim. It's important to note that the third party doesn't have to be directly involved in the accident. For instance, you may have a third-party claim against an equipment or product manufacturer, property owner, subcontractor, or maintenance provider.

At Fiore Legal, we are committed to helping you explore all possible avenues of compensation and ensuring you receive the maximum compensation you deserve. With our skilled workers' compensation and personal injury attorneys on your side, you can pursue a successful personal injury claim against a third party apart from a workers' comp claim.

Time Limit for Filing a Workers' Compensation Lawsuit

Awareness of the tight deadlines associated with workers' compensation claims is essential. If you fail to report your injuries to your supervisor or employer within 30 days, you may risk losing your right to compensation. Additionally, your employer must report the situation to the relevant insurance carrier within ten days. California's statute of limitations for filing a workers' compensation claim is one year from the accident date. At Fiore Legal, we understand the importance of timely and accurate reporting and will work with you to meet all necessary deadlines.

Reimbursement of Salary

Workers' compensation benefits don't cover your entire salary. Instead, you may be eligible to receive up to two-thirds of your gross weekly earnings as reimbursement for lost wages.

California limits the amount of money a recipient can receive weekly. In 2023, the state average weekly wage (SAWW) is $1,651.00.

Additionally, workers' compensation benefits are not indefinite. The maximum duration of benefits is 104 weeks within five years, starting from the date of your injury. However, it's worth noting that serious injuries may qualify for up to 240 weeks of benefits. In cases where the damage has resulted in permanent disability, you may be eligible for benefits for life. At Fiore Legal, we will work tirelessly to ensure that you receive the benefits you are entitled to for as long as you are eligible.
