Work Injury Goes Further
Injury cases are often complicated by the fact you need to establish where and how the injury happened and who was at fault. It is possible that you have more rights for compensation than you are aware. We believe that you have found the right team to represent you as the work injury law office of DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo has successfully practiced injury law since 1979.
Four Things That Clients Want
- Smart guidance that leads to immediate and competent medical care;
- Lawyers who conduct cases effectively and efficiently for the maximum recovery so you can get better from your injury and get back to your regular life;
- A team of seasoned advocates who know how to get you the full benefits you are allowed; and
- A San Jose California Work Injury Attorney at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo to take your case on and delve into it for potential Third Party civil claims to help maximize the claim.
Third Party Benefits
The San Jose California Work Injury Lawyers at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo have devoted their professional careers to helping people recover. They have the complete team, the resources and the vast amount of experience to maximize your work injury case.
They explore all their cases for additional possible responsible parties beyond your just place of work. (The additional responsible parties are known legally as Third Parties). When an injury occurs while you are working there is a possibility it was caused by the negligence of a company or someone other than your employer. This would be the Third Party and it is a key reason why DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo is with you all the way.
Our firm believes it is only fair that the party or parties who cause your injury should also be a part of your recovery. When a Third Party is determined to have been involved in your injury, the lawyers at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo will proceed with both a worker's compensation claim and a civil legal cause of action against the additional Third Party.
A Third Party civil lawsuit and a workers’ compensation claim need to be separate claims with separate processes. These claims, although technically independent, are actually intertwined and need to be thought through and carried out with one overall case strategy guiding both cases.
One Injury but Two Claims
DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo has been helping injured people who qualify for both Third Party civil causes of action and Workers’ Compensation claims, simultaneously, since the late 1970s. These cases take finesse and experience to carry them out successfully.
The two claims are intertwined and affect the other, both positively and negatively, at each point in the process. A misstep or mistake in either case will possibly limit your rights to compensation for both claims.
Our Unique Advantage
A common reason mistakes happen with these work injury cases is a client ends up having to have two different firms represent them; one for each case. Two different firms will never be able to proceed or communicate as effectively as one firm. The vast amount of experience and knowledge of Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury law practices that are in our one firm keep the cases moving smoothly.
By handling both sides of the work injury case internally, we get a total view that will allow us to avoid the limitations of just approaching your claim from a Personal Injury or a Workers' Compensation angle. The experienced San Jose California Work Injury team of attorneys and experts work together to collect all necessary documentation and evidence to support your claims, supply medical expert witnesses for the case, create your legal strategy, negotiate on your behalf, and litigate for you. We are completely with you all the way.
Maximizing Total Recovery
The San Jose California Work Injury lawyers at DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo know that the California Workers' Compensation Law provides less total compensation as when one compares it to a third party claim. Here are two distinct examples of this fact. Workers' compensation claims only allow for the victim to be able to recover up to two thirds of the lost wages. Compare that to the possibility of recovering 100% of your lost wages through a civil Third Party personal injury lawsuit.
Beyond just what percentage of lost wages is how each type of claim handles awarding damages for pain and suffering. Victims are only allowed to get pain and suffering damages when they are also filing a Third Party claim. Pain and suffering damages are not awarded for Workers’ Compensation claims alone. We look forward to advocating for you and helping you obtain your maximum compensation for your lost income, work injuries and catastrophic and serious harm. Our lawyers and staff will help you understand your options.
