What Are Your Rights if You Suffered a Workplace Injury?
First and foremost, you have the right to file a workplace injury claim without fear of retaliation from your employer. California law protects injured workers from being fired, demoted, or discriminated against simply for seeking the benefits and care they are entitled to.
You also have the right to receive compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and other related costs. This includes coverage for hospital bills, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and any time missed from work due to your injuries. In some cases, you may also be entitled to additional compensation if negligence played a role in your accident.
Most importantly, you have the right to legal representation. An experienced workplace accident attorney can guide you through the claims process, ensure your case is handled properly, and fight for the full compensation you deserve. At Novian & Novian, we take your rights seriously, and we’re ready to stand up for you.
Workplace Accident Attorneys
Suffering a workplace injury can turn your life upside down, but hiring an experienced attorney can make all the difference. A skilled workplace accident lawyer helps ensure that you receive the full compensation you’re entitled to for your injuries. Without legal support, you may risk settling for far less than your case is worth.
An attorney also ensures that every step of your case is handled correctly, from filing claims on time to managing complex paperwork and meeting critical legal deadlines. If your employer or their insurance provider tries to deny your claim, downplay your injuries, or pressure you into a quick settlement, your attorney will step in to protect your rights.
Importantly, a workplace accident attorney shields you from employer retaliation and ensures you’re treated fairly throughout the process. At Novian & Novian, we provide injured workers with clear legal guidance, aggressive representation, and strong negotiation tactics when dealing with employers and insurance companies. We’re here to fight for the best outcome, so you can focus on healing.

Common Types of Workplace Accidents
Workplace accidents can happen in any job, and they often leave injured workers struggling with pain, lost wages, and mounting medical bills. They include:
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are among the most common causes of workplace injuries. These can occur due to slippery floors caused by spills, wet surfaces, or poor maintenance. Tripping over clutter, loose wires, or uneven flooring can also result in serious harm. Falling from ladders, scaffolding, or elevated workspaces adds another layer of risk, especially in construction or warehouse environments.
Injured workers may suffer from broken bones, head trauma, or debilitating back injuries. A qualified accident attorney can help ensure your work injury claim includes all necessary medical documentation and fight for the fair compensation you deserve.
Vehicle Accidents at Work
Vehicle accidents in the workplace often involve company cars, delivery vans, forklifts, or construction equipment. Accidents may occur while driving on the job, in parking lots, or while operating heavy vehicles on a worksite. These incidents can lead to whiplash, traumatic brain injuries, or fractures.
In addition to workers’ comp, a skilled workplace injury attorney may be able to file a third-party lawsuit if someone outside your employer caused your injury. Our law firm will explore all avenues to help ensure you receive proper medical care, disability benefits, and coverage for lost wages.
Repetitive Motion and Ergonomic Injuries
These are often overlooked but can be just as serious. Jobs that involve typing, assembly-line work, or heavy lifting can cause carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, back strain, or joint damage. Poor posture or lack of ergonomic tools only increases the risk.
These conditions typically worsen over time, making it critical to file a work-related injury claim early and document all medical treatment. An experienced injury lawyer can help build a strong injury case and deal with uncooperative insurance companies that may try to minimize your claim.
In addition to workers’ comp, a skilled workplace injury attorney may be able to file a third-party lawsuit if someone outside your employer caused your injury. Our law firm will explore all avenues to help ensure you receive proper medical care, disability benefits, and coverage for lost wages.
Machinery and Equipment Accidents
Workplaces that rely on heavy machinery, such as factories, construction sites, or warehouses, often see accidents caused by malfunctioning equipment or lack of training. Without proper safety guards or maintenance, workers are at risk of crushing injuries, amputations, or being caught in or struck by moving parts.
These injuries can lead to long-term disability or even death, and they often involve serious injury cases that require the help of an experienced injury attorney. Depending on the circumstances, you might also qualify for third-party compensation in addition to basic workers’ compensation benefits.
Chemical and Toxic Exposure
Employees working in laboratories, cleaning services, or industrial plants may be exposed to hazardous chemicals, fumes, or substances like asbestos. Without proper training or protective equipment, this exposure can cause burns, respiratory issues, or even long-term illnesses such as cancer.
These cases are especially complex, as they may involve both a workers’ compensation claim and a personal injury lawsuit against a third party. A workplace accident lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and pursue economic damages and non-economic damages for pain and suffering.
FAQs about Workplace Injury
Injured on the job? Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about workplace accidents, workers’ compensation claims, and your legal rights as an injured worker:
How Much Does a Workplace Accident Attorney Cost?
At Novian & Novian, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing unless we win your case. Your initial consultation is completely free.
How Long Do I Have to File a Workplace Injury Claim?
In California, you generally have 30 days to report your injury to your employer and one year from the date of the injury to file a workers’ compensation claim. However, deadlines can vary, so it’s best to consult an attorney as soon as possible.
Can I Sue My Employer for a Workplace Accident?
Most workplace injuries are handled through workers’ compensation, but in some cases, such as gross negligence or intentional harm, a lawsuit may be possible. You may also be able to sue a third party if someone else contributed to the accident.
What if My Injury Was Partially My Fault?
You can still qualify for workers’ comp benefits even if the accident was partly your fault. In personal injury cases involving third parties, California’s comparative negligence law allows you to recover compensation based on your level of fault.
How Long Does It Take to Settle a Workplace Accident Case?
Some cases resolve in a few months, while others, especially those involving serious injuries or disputes, can take a year or more. Our attorneys work efficiently to maximize your recovery while minimizing delays.
