Welcome

We are attorneys with over 50 years of experience representing injured consumers and employees.  We stand ready to assist the injured or aggrieved employee regarding employment issues and potential claims for violations of the law.  In addition to offering our services to those employees in need, we are pleased to sponsor this website as a primary source of information as to the rights and remedies available to employees.

◊  Special Alert For Workers' Compensation Applicants   ◊

For those employees visiting our site in response to the Hablian vs. Zurich, et al. pending Class Action matter, which we are pursuing for injured workers, you may click on the link below to provide us with information we will need to determine if you are eligible for Class participation.  Please provide us with as much information as you have on your claim and yourself so we may contact you at the appropriate time.  This is especially important at present due to a recent Court ruling allowing discovery to move forward on issues relating to class eligibility.

For those individuals who are unaware of the Hablian matter, this case centers on the thesis that since 1990, Workers' Compensation carriers in the State of California have engaged in a systematic practice of underpaying benefits to all Applicants with an admitted injury claim where indemnity benefits were paid (the case does not apply to persons with denied claims).  The underpayments involved in large part penalties that were due for late payments.  According to audits undertaken by the Department of Industrial Relations for the State of California, underpayments on randomly selected files between 1990 and the present range from $800.00 to in excess of $1,000.00 per claim (in the aggregate the total of which is in the range of one billion dollars).

By providing us information on your claim we will be able to list your name as a potential Class Participant to insure that you receive information about the Class (if certification is granted) so you may participate (meaning you will receive additional compensation for the underpayments).  Please do not delay in providing us with information about your admitted claim of the last 15 years so you do not miss the opportunity to recover monies that may be due you.
