Leg Injury Claim at Workplace

How to file a leg/foot/knee/ankle injury at work compensation claim in Long Beach?

Leg, knee, ankle & foot injury issues can make it difficult to move around and complete work-related tasks. However, if they occur on the job, you are entitled to monetary compensation to cover medical expenses and lost wages. Also, repetitive heavy loading-induced arthritis is compensable. Many older workers suffer from knee arthritis as a result of heavy workloads and repetitive climbing. The Gaylord & Nantais law firm assists clients with knee, ankle, and foot injury workers’ compensation claims. Let us help you. If you are unsure of how to proceed or fear a hostile response from your employer, please contact our top workplace injury attorneys or get a free case evaluation.

People with a more severe ankle injury caused by extreme bruising or swelling and an inability to bear weight on foot without significant pain, or when there doesn’t seem to be an improvement over the first several days after the angle & foot injury, should seek medical attention.

Mild, low-grade ankle injury at work will usually heal in one to three weeks with proper rest and non-surgical care( such as applying ice). Moderate injuries may take between three and four weeks. Because of limited blood flow to the ankle’s ligaments, more severe angle & foot injuries may take three and six months to heal.

Usually, workplace ankle injuries such as broken ankles get caused by falls, high-impact sports, car accidents, or damages that place excessive force on the ankle. Treatment depends on the severity of the break. If it’s serious, you might need surgery to realign the bone. You might get a walking boot, cast, or splint if you have a minor ankle break.

Ankle & Foot Injury attorney| Gaylord & Nantais

Our workers’ compensation ankle injury lawyers work closely with our clients through every step of the process.

Workers who are injured will need medical treatment, and their employer’s workers’ compensation insurance got built with their health in mind. There are numerous advantages to Workers’ Compensation laws, such as :
  • Ability to focus on recovery
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Prevents lawsuits
  • Financial benefits
  • Disability benefits
  • Lifetime medical care

It’s practically impossible for someone to afford their living expenditures if they aren’t working. Further, medical care in America is costly. Workers’ compensation benefits will help you with the funds you require to keep up with your bills, including any necessary medical treatment, medicines, surgery, prosthetic limbs, and physical therapy.

Our attorneys at Gaylord & Nantais are among the top Long Beach workers’ compensation attorneys, having over 40+ years of expertise helping clients maximize the value associated with workers’ compensation claims. We assist our customers in efficiently navigating the workers’ compensation process. Our purpose is to serve our clients with the greatest effective legal services in a timely manner.

We represent our clients in a straightforward and proactive manner. For people who have worked in the state of California, our team of professional attorneys and staff specializes in asbestos, hearing loss, orthopedic injuries, lung disease, and other work-related diseases.

If you’re unsure how to proceed or are concerned that your employer will be obstructive, contact Longshore Injury Lawyer Gaylord & Nantais (562) 561-2669 or (213) 732-3436 immediately. We’ll walk you through the entire process and safeguard you against unjustified retaliation.

FAQs

Workers' Comp Law Firm

In almost every state, employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance to cover injuries sustained on the job. There is a good chance that you are eligible for workers’ compensation if you receive a regular paycheck from the company you work for, although there are exceptions. You can use our State Workers’ Compensation Resources to determine the eligibility requirements in your state.

In most cases, workers’ compensation provides both medical and disability benefits. Medical benefits cover the costs associated with diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating an injury sustained on the job. Disability benefits provide partial wage replacement (also known as “partial wage coverage”) while you are unable to work due to an injury. The amount you can recover will depend on a number of variables, including the severity of your injury. How long will you be unable to work, whether you can work in a different occupation, and how much money you made prior to your injury. Additionally, state disability benefit rates vary, and you must ensure that your employer’s insurance company does not terminate your medical benefits prematurely. If you stop receiving medical benefits before you are fully recovered, you may require legal assistance to ensure that you receive the full benefits to which you are entitled.

Yes. The workers’ compensation system is “no-fault.” This means that you are eligible to receive compensation even if you caused your own injury. There are exceptions (e.g., if you were intoxicated when you were injured, you may not be eligible for benefits), but the vast majority of work-related injuries are compensable regardless of how they occurred.

 Knee Injury Accident?

Yes. Workers’ compensation is “no-fault,” so your employer must pay regardless of whether it caused or contributed to your injury. Despite the fact that many work-related knee injuries are caused by safety violations and other forms of employer negligence, it is not necessary to prove negligence in order to receive workers’ compensation benefits.

Maybe. This question’s answer varies from state to state. In some states, you can see your own physician immediately. In some cases, you may be required to choose a doctor from a list of preferred or approved providers provided by your employer.

I wanted to take the time and thank Mr. Thomas for handling my workers' compensation case. He always communicated with me and always kept me in the loop on what was going on with my case. Even during the pandemic, he made me feel like my case was important. Thank you, Mr. Thomas, for your time and your hard work.

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Thomas on a claim and was very pleased with the outcome. He was very thorough in explaining everything needed to get the best chance at the desired results. Mr. Thomas showed a tremendous amount of dedication in making sure he provided a great client experience. He didn’t talk over my head, and he was patient with my questions. Mr. Thomas is super in touch and highly relatable to the everyday working American. He was a perfect fit for me and my family. We were pleased with the outcome on our injury case.

I was lucky enough to have Mr. Nantais as my lawyer. I had spoken to several other workers' compensation lawyers before meeting with Mr. Nantais. Unlike the other lawyers, I found Mr. Nantais very easy to talk with right from the start. He understood what had happened to me with my work situation and showed compassion for my plight. What really impressed me was how well Mr. Nantais represented me when dealing with the opposing counsel. He did an excellent job advocating for my needs, and I was very happy with the case's outcome.
