What Makes Sacramento Different

Sacramento is the state capital and has an unusual concentration of public employees. California state employees are covered by workers' comp — but the process may involve the State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF) or the state's self-insurance program. We know both systems.

The Workers' Comp Process in Sacramento

The process follows California law:

1. Report your injury to your supervisor or HR immediately.
2. Request the DWC-1 form.
3. Get medical care.
4. Do not sign anything from the insurer without consulting an attorney.

The insurer has between 14 and 90 days to accept or deny your claim. If it's denied, we appeal at the Sacramento WCAB office, where Sacramento cases are heard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have an office in Sacramento?

Our main office is in Los Angeles, but we represent workers across all of California, including Sacramento. We work by phone, video, and email — the majority of cases don't require office visits until the day of trial or formal conference, which take place at the Sacramento WCAB office near where you work.

I was hurt working in Sacramento. Where will my case be processed?

Your case will be processed at the Sacramento WCAB office, the workers' comp board that covers Sacramento County. We know that court and handle cases there regularly.

I'm undocumented and work in Sacramento. Can I receive benefits?

Yes. Your immigration status does not affect your right to workers' comp benefits in California. The insurer cannot use your status against you. California law protects all workers.

How much does it cost to hire you?

Nothing up front. We work on contingency. If we recover benefits for you, our fees are approved by a WCAB judge and typically run 15% of disability benefits. If we recover nothing, you owe nothing.
