Questions
What should I do immediately after a work-related injury?
Report the injury to your employer within 30 days, seek medical treatment, and contact Wright and Falls to protect your rights. We'll guide you through the claims process.
How can I appeal a denied workers' compensation claim?
We represent clients at Workers' Compensation Appeals Boards in San Francisco, Sacramento, and other Northern California locations, challenging denials of medical treatment and benefits.
Can I receive both workers' comp and Social Security disability benefits?
Yes, but total benefits may be reduced to 80% of pre-injury earnings. Our attorneys coordinate these claims to maximize your compensation while complying with federal and state regulations.
What happens if my medical treatment gets denied after a settlement?
California's 2004 reforms may affect post-settlement care. We challenge improper denials and help clients navigate MPN networks and utilization review processes.
How does the 104-week temporary disability cap work?
For injuries after 2008, benefits are capped at 104 weeks within five years. We help clients maximize these benefits and address EDD lien issues during this period.
