Experienced Los Angeles Workers' Compensation Lawyers
The Los Angeles workers' compensation lawyers at Jacobson & Han LLP want to inform all employees who are injured at work that seeking the advice of an experienced workers' compensation is very important for the outcome of their case. Our attorneys will help to protect your rights and will aid in getting injured workers a settlement or award that will take into account any future medical treatment they may require.
Many injured workers who are unrepresented receive a settlement offer from the workers' compensation insurance company that may be too low and does not take into consideration the extent of their disability they have and the need for future medical care that their condition will demand. Unfortunately, many of these injured workers take the offer because they do not think they could get more money, they are unsure of what future medical treatment will cost, and they may just want to settle the case so they can move forward with their lives.

The attorneys at Jacobson & Han LLP have recently negotiated a great settlement for one of their workers' compensation clients. The injured worker had been working for a tow truck company and his finger was severely injured at work when the hydraulic system from a truck crushed his finger. He needed surgery and physical therapy to treat his finger. After having the surgery and the physical therapy, the client wanted to move out of California and he wanted his workers' compensation case to end, but he did not want to walk away with a small settlement in case something were to happen in the future and he would require more medical treatment for his finger. The attorneys at Jacobson & Han LLP negotiated the best deal they could for their client. Due to the various settlement negotiations between the attorneys and the insurance company, the offer greatly increased from $18,000 to $65,000.
