Frequently Asked Questions

How do I qualify for workers’ compensation benefits in California?

To qualify for California workers compensation, you have to be injured or become ill while at work. Report your injury or illness as soon as possible to your supervisor. You should also seek medical attention. If your claim for workers’ compensation is approved, benefits could include medical care, temporary or permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation assistance, and death benefits.

How long do I have to report a work-related injury in California?

According to California workers compensation law, you have 30 days to report a workplace injury. Failure to do so can result in a denial of your workers’ comp claim. This is a time-sensitive issue, so take action as soon as possible.

What should I do if I have a job injury?

To be considered for workers compensation in California, you need to report your injury to your supervisor as soon as possible. You should get medical attention or first aid too. Your employer will then file a workers' compensation claim for you. If your claim gets denied, you can take legal action, and an accident attorney can help you with the case.

Will a personal injury lawyer get me more money?

People who hire attorneys statistically receive more money in their injury settlement. Even after paying the lawyer's contingency fee, people still walk away with more money than they probably would have received without an attorney.

Why is there no cost of hiring a lawyer?

You do not have to pay your attorney unless you win. When you win,  your lawyer is paid a percentage of your final settlement.

This means the better you do, the better your lawyer does. It’s a win-win. 

Will a personal injury lawyer help me with all of my legal problems?

Bankruptcy, divorce, criminal charges, etc, can all affect your injury case. Your personal injury lawyer is familiar with different areas of law and can work with other attorneys if needed. Your Accident.com lawyer will work with your other lawyer (from other practice areas) to reach a solution in your best interest. A personal injury lawyer can also handle the insurance company's lawyers if your case goes past negotiations.

How does Accident.com work?

1. Personal injury lawyers throughout the US tell us the types of cases they specialize in.
2. Claimants (like you) submit their case details. The closest attorney, who accepts your claim type, is immediately notified.
3. Your Accident.com lawyer reaches out immediately to discuss your case or schedule a free consultation.

Hiring a lawyer is an important decision if you have large medical bills, lost wages, or were injured due to negligence.

Accident.com connects you to a lawyer that makes sure you get paid everything you are entitled to. Your lawyer files your claim for you and then negotiates the amount of your settlement.

If the insurance company is believed to be acting in bad faith, your lawyer can request a trial and sue for a higher settlement.

How will my lawyer save me time?

Your lawyer will:

1) Request medical records for you.
2) Review police reports and medical charts.
3) Communicate back and forth with your insurance adjuster.

Accident.com lawyers do the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to.

About Us

Every business starts with a simple question.

For the Accident.com founders, that question was: “Why is getting paid by insurance companies such a frustrating experience?" Frustrating is an understatement. Navigating the world of insurance is confusing, stressful and a step backward in time (hello, call centers). Even when they know they are covered, people know insurance companies make more money if they pay you less.
