Customer Reviews
This law firm was extremely helpful and successful in my case. In a matter of 7 months they were able to settle my case! Joshua, Ariella, Vedang, and Iona were my attorneys and Aaron were extremely helpful in my case, always responsive and helped with any questions I had about my case. I was turned down by a few other law firms but this law firm took me seriously and won! I’m very satisfied with all of their services.
They will always answer your calls and call you with updates to keep you informed. I had the pleasure of working with many of them and they are all great individuals. Bibiyan Law Group won two of the two cases I had with them and I’m pretty happy with them. I would recommend you give them a call.
Super nice people. I opened a case with them and it took a while like most cases do but they made it very easy for me. I basically just told them what happened and they handled everything until the case closed while updating me in between and answering questions if I had any. Thank you!
Bibiyan Law Group was by far a great choice to make for my wrongful termination lawsuit. They kept me in the loop with all the details and supported me along the way until I received my settlement. Thank you for everything. Would recommend!

Millions Recovered for Employees Each Year
Workplace injuries can have a lasting impact on your physical, emotional, and financial well-being. Navigating the complexities of the workers’ compensation system can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. At Bibiyan Law Group, our experienced disability & workman’s compensation attorneys in Los Angeles are dedicated to protecting the rights of injured workers and helping them secure the benefits they deserve under California workers’ compensation laws.
What Is Workers’ Compensation?
Workers’ compensation is a safety net for employees who suffer from work-related injuries or illnesses. California requires employers to carry insurance that provides benefits to injured workers without requiring them to prove fault. The system covers essential costs like medical treatment, lost wages, and more.
The workers compensation claim process can be challenging, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the system. From filing a claim to managing disputes, having a workers compensation attorney by your side can make all the difference.
Types of Workers’ Compensation Benefits
If you’ve been injured on the job, you may qualify for various benefits under California workers’ compensation laws, including:
Medical Treatment and Bills
- Covers all necessary treatment for your injury or illness, including doctor visits, medications, surgeries, and physical therapy.
- Ensures that injured workers are not burdened with medical bills for work-related injuries.
Temporary Disability Benefits
- Replaces lost wages if you cannot work while recovering from your injury.
- Temporary total disability (TTD) and partial disability are available depending on your condition.
Permanent Disability Benefits
- Compensation for lasting impairments or disabilities that limit your ability to work.
- Determined based on your workers comp claim evaluation.
Vocational Rehabilitation
- Provides retraining or education if you can no longer perform your previous job duties.
Death Benefits
- Financial support for families of workers who lose their lives due to work-related injuries or illnesses.
How to File a Workers Compensation Claim
The workers compensation claim process involves several critical steps. Missing deadlines or filing incorrect paperwork can jeopardize your benefits. Here’s an overview:
- Report the Injury: Notify your employer of the injury as soon as possible.
- Seek Medical Treatment: Visit an approved doctor to document the extent of your injury.
- File the Claim: Submit a worker’s compensation claim form (DWC-1) to your employer.
- Await Insurer Response: The insurance company will review your claim and decide on benefits.
- Consult a Lawyer: If your claim is denied or delayed, an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer can help you appeal and fight for your rights.
At Bibiyan Law Group, our Los Angeles workers compensation attorneys will ensure your claim is filed correctly and on time, giving you the best chance at securing the benefits you need.
Temporary Disability Benefits and Workers’ Comp
If your injury prevents you from working temporarily, you may qualify for temporary total disability benefits under California workers’ compensation laws. These benefits are calculated at two-thirds of your average weekly wage and help offset the financial strain of being unable to work.
How Long Does Workers’ Comp Last in California?
- Temporary Disability Benefits: Generally, they are available for a maximum of 104 weeks within a five-year timeframe.
- Permanent Disability Benefits: Depend on the severity of your impairment and are paid over a set period or as a lump sum.
Understanding the duration of your benefits is essential for financial planning. Our workers compensation attorneys can guide you through the workers comp claim process to maximize your benefits.
Common Challenges in Workers’ Compensation Claims
Injured workers often face obstacles when filing or managing workers compensation claims, such as:
- Denied Claims: Insurers may argue your injury isn’t work-related or doesn’t qualify.
- Delayed Benefits: Waiting for approval can lead to financial strain for the injured worker.
- Employer Retaliation: Fear of backlash may discourage some from filing claims.
If you’ve encountered these or other issues, our team of experienced workers compensation lawyers in Los Angeles can help you navigate the system and fight for your rights.
