California workers' compensation and injury cases follow a clear process. Here's exactly what each phase looks like so you know what's happening — and when — at every step.
Day 1–3
We review what happened, identify whether you have both a WC claim and a third-party civil claim, and sign you on contingency. No fee unless we recover.
Most calls take 15 minutes. We pull the basics — when, where, what employer, what doctor — and tell you on the call whether there's a case. You sign nothing until we recommend it.
Day 3–14
We file the DWC-1 with your employer, open the carrier's file, and secure medical treatment within the Medical Provider Network.
Reporting in writing within 30 days is statutory. We handle every form so a missed signature never costs you your claim.
Week 2–8
Two-thirds of your average weekly wage begins paying out. We calculate AWW correctly using full earnings history, not a single pay stub.
For 2026 the TTD cap is approximately $1,680/week. Carriers routinely miscalculate AWW low — we audit every wage statement.
Month 2–6
A Qualified Medical Evaluator or Agreed Medical Evaluator performs the impairment exam that drives the final case value.
We prepare every client before the QME exam. What you say in 45 minutes determines years of benefits.
Month 6–12
Final impairment ratings issued. Apportionment analyzed. Settlement value calculated. Life-pension threshold pursued where applicable.
PD ratings of 70%+ trigger a permanent weekly life pension under §4659 that continues for the rest of your life.
Month 9–18
Negotiated Stipulated Award (ongoing medical) or Compromise & Release (lump sum), plus $6,000 voucher pursued under §4658.7.
We model every settlement scenario including Medicare Set-Aside implications so you understand the trade-offs before signing.
