Our vision for worker’s compensation law at our firm is clear: To promote and protect the physical, emotional and financial well-being of the individuals and families who turn to us for help.
Workers’ Compensation is our specialty at ODG Law Group. Our job is essentially to make sure all employees are protected from any and all potential hazards while on the job, whether physical or mental. California law offers top-notch legal protection for workers, and we seek to enforce that on behalf of any injured parties who will need to seek settlements, and collect on their guaranteed right.
We want to emphasize that this goes for any workers. This means that California law includes immigrants and undocumented workers who might be injured while working. Don’t let your employer instill fear and attempt to silence you, or scare you into not filing due to your status.
We have a No Win, No Fee policy. We don’t make money off your case unless you do. Call (818) 975-3080 for a free evaluation to see if you can, in fact, seek out legal action.
