You may have additional rights for compensation than just what worker’s comp provides for. It is important that you maximize your case’s scope. For that you have come to the right place. The law office of DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo has been successfully conducting work injury cases since 1979. We will give you an overview on this page or you can just contact us to schedule your free initial consultation.
What 4 Things the Clients Needs
- Guidance toward immediate, objective, and competent medical care;
- A law firm that has work injury attorneys who will help you receive your due compensation (monetary and otherwise), get better and be able to move on;
- An advocate who knows how to maximize the full and fair benefits you’re entitled; and
- A seasoned San Francisco California Work Injury Lawyer at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo who will look into your case for potential Third Party civil claims.
Why Add the 3rd Party?
The San Francisco California Work Injury Lawyers at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo only want to help people recover from their injuries and win their cases. Over more than three decades, they have assembled the resources and team to maximize your case.
We investigate every claim to look for additional possible responsible parties beyond just that of your employer. The additional responsible parties are legally known as Third Parties. When an injury or accident happens on the job or at the workplace there is the chance that it was caused by more than just the negligence your employer. Due to this Third Party you could be entitled to more benefits.
When a Third Party is found to be involved in the work injury case, the San Francisco California Workers' Compensation attorneys will file both a worker's compensation claim and a civil legal cause of action against the additional Third Party. The Third Party could be a person or a company. A workers’ compensation claim and a Third Party civil lawsuit are separate injury claims that are distinct. These two claims, although separate, are closely related and entangled and need to be carried out with one overall strategy.
Synchronizing the Two Cases is Key
Our lawyers and staff are very seasoned at carrying out this complex double case scenario. We are ready right now to start the process for you. We have been helping clients whose cases are eligible for both Third Party civil causes of action and Workers’ Compensation claims, simultaneously, for over three decades throughout California.
Our experience is very valuable because the two claims are intertwined and they affect the other, positively and negatively, at each turn. Mishandling any aspect of one case during the legal process can limit your overall options to compensation for both claims. Our entire firm, though, is confident that we will continue to successfully win these types of cases.
Our Firm’s Unique Advantage
We at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo have attorneys who specialize in both Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury law. In this way, you will only need to work with our one firm instead of having to find a law firm for both types of cases. This helps immensely as our lawyers are used to working with each other and these cases.
By handling both sides of the case in the our one firm, we get a total view of the full work injury case that will allow us to avoid the monetary and nonmonetary limitations of just bringing your case to litigation as a Personal Injury case or a Workers' Compensation case. Our experienced Bay Area California Work Injury team of lawyers will work as one team to create the strategy for your case, arrange for medical expert witnesses for the case, collect all necessary evidence and documentation to support your claims, and negotiate and/or litigate on your behalf. Remember, we’re with you all the way.
We Maximize the Recovery for You
The San Francisco California Work Injury lawyers promise to work hard to ensure you get the maximum possible recovery. The California Workers' Compensation Law provides for less compensation when compared to a Third Party claim. Here are two differences with how the two types of cases compensate victims. Workers' compensation claims only allow a person to receive up to two thirds of their lost income. Third Party personal injury lawsuits have the possibility of recovering 100% of your lost income.
In addition to that staggering fact, injured parties are only allowed to receive pain and suffering damages when filing a Third Party claim. Damages for pain and suffering are not awarded for Workers’ Compensation claims. The attorneys of DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo will competently advocate for you so you are taken care of for your work injuries, medical expenses, lost income and catastrophic and serious harm.
