Workers’ compensation injuries include any harm or injury suffered by an employee while in the scope of their employment. In general, there are two types of injury categories: work injuries that happen on-the-job due to a particular sudden occurrence and work injuries that build up over time because of repetitive physical stress, such as leg problems or carpal tunnel syndrome. Workplace injuries also encompass work-related medical issues including: hypertension, trouble breathing, heart disease, stress, or exposure to toxic vapors or toxic chemicals.

Work injuries that require our firm simultaneously proceeding with a California workers’ compensation claim and a civil Third Party work injury claim are delicate. This is because both claims are intertwined and parallel to each other. A mistake occurring in either claim’s case may cause your options and rights to compensation under both claims to be limited. San Diego workers compensation lawyers at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo have been successfully working on these workers’ comp and civil work injury claims for over three decades.

Many of their clients come to us with a lot of stress, worries and questions.
