Worker's Compensation - Blanco and Arias

Workers’ Compensation

Injured on the Job?

If you have been injured on the job, you are entitled to compensation through workers’ compensation insurance. Period. Employers will often minimize workplace injuries or try to place blame elsewhere to avoid liability. This behavior is unacceptable.

Understanding Why
Insurance Companies Are
Not Your Friend

Most Insurance companies are a for-profit business. Workers’ compensation is paid for by employers. In California, employers must maintain workers’ compensation insurance even if they only have one employee. Every time a workers’ compensation claim is filed, it cost the insurance company money. The first offer you get from an insurance company is almost always unfair. Insurance companies will try to get away with paying you as little as possible. The result is that the costs of the injury are shifted to the injured workers and their families. Don’t let this happen to you. Call the Blanco & Arias team.

Do not be fooled by a friendly representative or an employer who is “helping you.” Every day, insurance companies take advantage of individuals who do not know their rights. Instead, call Blanco & Arias, who will work to get the benefits you deserve.
