With a workers' compensation attorney on your side, your chances of maximizing your benefits are significantly better.

Having dealt personally with the devastating effects of a workplace injury within his family, our compensation attorney will compassionately advocate for you in your time of need.

Attorney Gilbert Fisher has practiced workers' compensation law in California for over two decades. We understand the national, state-wide, and local laws that can affect your claim. Learn more about the workers' compensation system we can help guide you through...
No-Fault System
California has a no-fault system for workers' insurance compensation. This system protects both the employer and the employee. Employees cannot sue their employer for a personal injury, but injured employees do not need to prove that their employer was at fault in order to receive compensation for a work-related injury.
No Lawsuits
In most cases, injured workers cannot file a personal injury lawsuit against their employer because of California's no-fault system. If you're not sure what legal action to take, Mr. Fisher can review your case for free and recommend the legal direction that will yield the best results.
Timing Matters
When it comes to filing a workers' compensation claim, the sooner you act, the better. A workplace injury needs to be reported to your employer within 30 days. Once your employer is notified, they must give you your claim within one working day.

Legal Resources for Clients
Insurance & Workers' Compensation
California law requires every business to provide some form of workers' compensation insurance in the event that an employee is injured or becomes ill as a result of their work. While limits are set on how long workers' compensation benefits may last, every employee should expect to receive them in full.
Personal Injury & Workers' Compensation
Filing a workers' compensation claim normally prevents employees from pursuing a personal injury suit against an employer. However, if a claim overlaps with a workplace injury or wrongful death lawsuit against the employer, clients will need help from an attorney to navigate the resulting legal complexities.
Types of Work Injuries
We often think of work injuries as slip and fall accidents and other physical injuries. While these are some of the accidents covered by workers' compensation insurance, they aren't the only form of injury covered. Learn more about the types of work injuries that may entitle you to compensation.
If you are unsure whether your injury warrants workers' compensation or a personal injury suit, contact the law offices of attorney Gilbert Fisher today. Mr. Fisher can look at your case and give you the best advice on how to proceed.
