Long Beach Work Injury Attorneys
Beyond Just Workers’ Comp
In many work injury cases, you have more legal rights for compensation under the law than you may think. If you or a loved one is the victim of a work injury, it is vital that you maximize your case’s range. It is possible to be awarded more financial compensation than just what the workers’ compensation claim limits you to. That is because you will be working with one of the most experienced and successful work injury firms in Long Beach California.
You Need Four Things
- Comprehensive guidance toward immediate, objective, and competent medical treatment;
- A firm that specializes in work injury to make this a quick and successful experience so you can heal and move on;
- An advocate that works daily to maximize the compensation you’re due; and
- A seasoned Long Beach California Work Injury Lawyer at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo to scrutinize your case for potential Third Party civil claims to maximize the scope of your case and your recovery.
Advantages to Adding the 3rd Party
The Long Beach California Work Injury Attorneys at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo have been helping people for over thirty years. We put together a great team of experts to help win your case and get back on the road to recovery. We’re with you all the way.
That includes delving into the fine details of your case to investigate other responsible parties in addition to your employer. The additional responsible parties are known in the legal world as Third-Parties. When a job injury or accident that happens at the workplace has been caused by the negligence of a third party, you may legally be able to receive compensation beyond that awarded by the California workers' compensation rules and laws.
Our firm believes that those who caused, or helped to cause, your injury should be a part of your recovery and/or settlement. When a Third Party is involved in your work injury case, the Long Beach California Workers' Compensation attorneys at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo will work on your behalf by filing both a worker's compensation claim and a civil legal cause of action against the additional Third Party (company or person) who caused your accident or injury. It will be discussed later how having the same firm handle both cases is very important to the strategy of your case. A Third Party civil lawsuit and a workers’ compensation claim are two separate and distinct injury claims. These claims, although separate, are closely intertwined and need to be worked on, researched and strategized together.
Unison Is Key
The Work Injury Lawyers in our firm are very accustomed to handling these complicated scenarios. We have simultaneously represented injured parties who need both Workers’ Compensation claims and Third Party civil causes of action since 1979.
Cases that involve both a civil Third Party work injury claim and a California Workers’ Compensation claim is a delicate process because the claims are intertwined and they very much affect the other. Keep in mind that if a mistake or miscommunication in either claim at any point during the legal proceedings and your rights to compensation under both claims can be limited. Long Beach California Workers' Compensation lawyers at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo have a long track record of successfully handing these types of cases. It is part of the service we provide our clients.

This 360 degree view into your case will enable you to avoid the limitations of moving your case forward with only a Personal Injury or only a Workers' Compensation perspective. Our experienced Long Beach California Work Injury team of attorneys work together to design your strategy for litigation, collect the necessary evidence and documentation to support your claims, bring expert medical witnesses together, and litigate or negotiate for you. And remember that throughout the process, we’re with you all the way.
Maximize The Work Injury Recovery
Long Beach California Work Injury lawyers will work daily to ensure that you get the maximum recovery allowable by the law. The important truth is that the California Workers' Compensation Law provides for less compensation as compared to a third party claim. We are constantly surprised how many firms miss adding the third party claim to their injury case strategy.
To illustrate this, let us look at two advantages to Third Party cases are. Under only a workers' compensation claim you will only receive 2/3 of your lost earnings. Yes, getting 2/3 of your income back is nice but compare that to the possibility of recovering 100% of your lost earnings through a civil Third Party personal injury lawsuit.
The other difference we want to highlight is that work injury on-the-job victims are only entitled to pain and suffering damages with Third Party claims. Pain and suffering damages are currently not allowed by for Workers’ Compensation claims. Long Beach California Work Injury attorneys will whole heartedly advocate for you to make sure you get maximum compensation for your work injuries, lost earnings and serious and catastrophic harm. They believe in doing the complete job and striving to help you recover 100% of your lost income.
