Our Recent Verdicts and Settlements

What Is The Time Limit To File A Worker’s Compensation Claim In California?
In the State of California, the time limit is 30 calendar days to file a worker’s compensation claim. It begins on the date of the accident and injury. Some companies will open workers’ compensation claims that affect their employees. If Transdev doesn’t provide that service and you have no experience in filing a claim, please call Normandie Law Firm. The time limit is strictly enforced, so our recommendation is to get the claim process started shortly after the accident happens. If you find that you are no longer employed at Transdev after your accident, you are still allowed to open a claim for your injuries, but the original 30 day time limit still applies. There are some exceptions to the 30 day time limit. A cumulative trauma injury is one of the exceptions.

What Is A Cumulative Trauma Injury?
Cumulative trauma is an injury that occurs as a result of damage caused by repetitive job activity over a long period. If you are diagnosed with an injury that is caused by cumulative trauma, you are still eligible for treatment under worker’s compensation. The time limit you have to file a claim is one year from the date of the first day of work you missed.

What Are The Common Injury Types And Workplace Hazards For Transdev Fabricators?
Various roles and jobs have some common injuries based on the work the employee is doing and the environment in which they work. The hazards that you run into are another factor that contributes to the specific types of injuries. A prominent example of this in action is being a vehicle driver for Transdev. That role has more potential for being injured in a vehicle accident than a corporate employee handling HR or payroll for fellow employees. The different kinds of injuries we regularly see begin with slips and falls and may include loss of limb due to an automobile or industrial accident. The most common injuries and hazards we usually see in a services company are:

• Broken or fractured bones from slips or trips
• Sprains cause damage to the connective tissue of joints or complete joint dislocations
• Back and neck issues from having a fixed point of view for extended periods of time
• Shocks or burns from improperly installed equipment or improper use
• Other hazards that can arise, and they have very little to do with the job, are:
• Environmental issues like fire, flooding due to general environmental conditions
• Exposure to cleaning or manufacturing chemicals in any type of office or customer location

Is Every Workplace Injury Covered Under Worker’s Compensation In The State Of California?

Within the normal circumstances surrounding workplace injuries, the answer is yes, when you are hurt at work doing your assigned job, you can expect the injury you received to be covered by worker’s comp. There are some exceptions, but they have more to do with behavior on the part of the employee. For example, if a company employee is committing a crime or they are discovered to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs during an accident, it is unlikely that worker’s compensation will cover any injuries stemming from that incident.

If you are injured on the job working for Transdev, Normandie Law Firm encourages you to get a complete medical examination immediately after the accident. Any type of injury you have should be diagnosed and treated immediately. It is normal for an injured person to experience shock after an accident, and you may not realize how badly you could be hurt. Getting assessed and treated should lessen the chance that worker’s comp denies a claim because the time limit is exceeded.

What Are The Benefits Offered By The Worker’s Compensation Program In California?
The list below is not the only benefits offered, but it includes some of the key benefits you are eligible to receive if you are injured on the job. They include:

• A total of $1 million for medical care that covers any hospital and doctor’s bills, your prescription costs, physical therapy and rehabilitation, as well as the cost of any required devices like crutches, canes, or wheelchairs
• If you cannot return to work until you are recovered from your injuries, you may receive up to 66% of your regular weekly income from the program
• If you are expected to experience long-term limitations or disability due to a workplace injury, the program offers temporary and long-term disability payments
• If you cannot return to work at the original job you held with Transdev, you will be eligible for vocational training provided by the program to help prepare you for a new career after recovery from your injury

It is standard practice for most hospitals and doctors to bill the worker’s comp program directly for services rendered in the treatment of workplace injuries. We recommend you consider taking full advantage of it if offered. It will save you a great deal of time because you don’t have to wait file the invoices and wait for reimbursement after paying your medical bills out of pocket. When you contact Normandie Law Firm, we will be able to give you more detailed information about the benefits available to you.

Can I Sue My Employer For Personal Injury After An Accident and Injury At Work?
In broad terms, the answer is no, you are unable to sue your company for being injured at work under normal circumstances. Worker’s compensation is an exclusive remedy for workplace injuries. As such, employees who are injured at work and file a claim with worker’s compensation are not be permitted to file a personal injury lawsuit against their employer for the same injuries already being covered. If the company contributed to or caused your injury, then it can be reviewed, and if proven, it may create the opportunity for a lawsuit. If they are found to have committed what is called gross negligence, a lawsuit can be filed and won, with damages awarded in excess of what worker’s compensation covers.

Gross negligence is legally defined as willful misconduct or a reckless disregard for the safety of others. An example of gross negligence is when an employer ignores a dangerous hazard that is shown and reported in the workplace. They know that the hazard is very likely to cause an injury to an employee. The accident happens, and the employee is hurt. If you think there is a chance that this occurred and actually led to your accident, please let your Transdev employee’s worker’s compensation lawyer know as soon as you can. A personal injury lawsuit can be filed if gross negligence is involved.
