Hiring the Best Workers Comp Lawyers in Huntington Beach

Hiring a Lawyer for Huntington Beach Workers Comp

Workers’ Compensation was designed as a “no-fault” system intended to provide injured workers with medical treatment and money to live on. In theory, this means that if someone has been disabled at work, their application for Workers Comp benefits should be automatically approved – without requiring further legal action. Sadly, this is often times not the case.

Many deserving injured workers in Huntington Beach & Orange County, unfortunately, are denied Workers Comp benefits by their employer. And, sometimes – even when the employer tries to act fairly – the Workers Comp Insurance Company responsible for paying the claim may wrongfully deny it.

Statistically, however, employees who are seeking Workers Compensation who have been initially denied, are much more likely to be approved for benefits if they are represented by a lawyer when they appeal.

If you hire a Workers Compensation lawyer for your Huntington Beach Workers Comp case, here are some helpful thoughts to keep in mind when selecting the best Workers Comp lawyer for your case.

Hire Huntington Beach Workers Comp Lawyers Who Only Handles Disability Cases

At Cantrell Green we strongly believe that a truly qualified Workers Comp law firm will only handle disability-related cases – and not criminal cases, bankruptcy or anything else. The law is very complex and it takes years of experience to learn everything about one area of law. Obviously a lawyer cannot be “the best” at everything – so an attorney will develop more skill and expertise if they confine their practice to one area.

Our law firm specializes in only one type of law – disability law. This enables us to stay on top of the newest laws, changes in regulations, etc. far better than someone who is not “specialized”.

Also, remember that Workers Comp cases are not tried in the same Court systems where other types of cases are heard. Workers Comp cases are heard in a completely separate court system called the “Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board”- where there is no jury – only an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).

Because we handle Workers Comp cases every week of every year, our experienced lawyers are in front of these judges all of the time. This means that we know the system inside and out – and we develop personal relationships with the judges that will handle your case.
