Central Valley Workers' Compensation Attorney
In 2003, California made significant changes to the workers' compensation law. Unfortunately, the new laws had a far-reaching and negative effect on injured workers. It is now more important than ever that people work with a lawyer who has the time and ability to guide them through the recovery process.
I am Modesto work injury attorney Gary C. Nelson, and I have been protecting injured workers for over 25 years. If you have suffered anything beyond a first-aid injury, contact me as soon as possible, so I can make sure you secure the workers' comp you deserve. The minute you are unsure of where to go next, I can help you.
Do Not Wait for a Workers' Comp Dispute to Contact an Attorney
If you have suffered a serious injury while on the job, you may not know where to turn. Many workers who are unclear on their rights and options end up making decisions that harm their cases. Many people trust that the system will take care of them, but it is not set up that way.
For example, you have to be very careful with the medical treatment you get after your injury. Each treatment is put through a utilization review, and there are very strict time limits to get a new review if you do not like the insurance company's outcome. If you fail to act in time, you could lose certain rights. I will make sure you handle this process properly.
Over the past 25 years, I have represented a wide range of work injury victims across California, from office workers with repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel and tendinitis to construction workers and truck drivers with back injuries. With a wide range of industries around Modesto, I represent everyone from office workers to farmers and warehouse workers.
No matter what type of injury you have suffered, my goal is to make sure you get the immediate care you need and long-term compensation you deserve. That could include compensation for the following:
- Wage loss
- Temporary disability
- Permanent disability
- Future medical treatment
- Vocational retraining
In addition to protecting insured workers, I also handle uninsured cases. And I take all workers' compensation cases on a contingency basis, so you do not pay anything until I help you secure compensation.
