⚠️ 5 mistakes that can hurt your work comp claim

Workers’ compensation already has enough moving parts. You don’t want to accidentally make the process harder on yourself.

Here are five things I caution injured workers about:

1️⃣ Waiting too long to report the injury.
Tell your supervisor as soon as possible. If an injury developed gradually, report it once you learn or reasonably believe your work caused it.

2️⃣ Not completing the workers’ compensation claim form.
Reporting an injury and actually starting the claim process are different things. Make sure the proper paperwork is completed and keep copies.

3️⃣ Ignoring recommended medical treatment.
Missed appointments and unexplained gaps in care can create questions about your injury and can also interfere with your recovery.

4️⃣ Being inconsistent about how the injury happened or what you’re experiencing.
Be accurate and honest with your employer, doctors, and attorney. Small inconsistencies can become bigger issues later.

5️⃣ Assuming your attorney can automatically get everything approved.
Workers’ comp has specific medical guidelines, review procedures, deadlines, and legal requirements. Your attorney can advocate for you and challenge decisions when appropriate, but the process still has to be followed.

If you’re confused, ask. I would much rather have a client call with a question than make a decision based on an assumption.

Some people call me Jennifer. Some people call me Jen.

I just want you to call me when you need help with a personal injury or workers’ compensation claim.

Car accident? Call me.
Hurt at work? Call me.
Insurance company giving you the runaround? Call me.
Not even sure whether you have a claim? You can call about that too.

You don’t need to know all the legal terminology or have everything figured out before reaching out. That’s what the conversation is for.

So Jennifer, Jen... either works.

Just remember the number. 😅 📞 562) 348-1400.

What compensation can you recover after a brain injury in California?

Compensation in a brain injury case generally falls into two broad categories:
Economic damages are the financial losses that can be documented and calculated, such as:

• Past and future medical expenses, including emergency care, surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation, therapy, and medication
• Lost wages while you recover
• Loss of future earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous work or career
• Future care and home health assistance
• Other out-of-pocket expenses related to the injury

Non-economic damages address the personal impact of the injury, which can be much harder to put a dollar amount on. These may include:

• Physical pain and suffering
• Emotional distress and psychological harm
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Loss of consortium, including the effect the injury has on a marital relationship
• Disfigurement

Traumatic brain injuries can have consequences that continue long after the accident itself, which is why it is so important to understand the full extent of the injury, including future medical and personal needs, before discussing what fair compensation may look like.

Every case is different, and the damages available will depend on the specific facts and circumstances.

📞 If you or someone you love suffered a brain injury because of someone else’s negligence, call (562) 348-1400 to discuss your options.

50 years. 🤍

Last month, we got to celebrate my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, and that is a milestone worth making a big deal about.

Fifty years of building a life together means there are a lot of stories behind that number. Good seasons, difficult ones, family milestones, everyday routines, and plenty of memories along the way.

Mom and Dad, thank you for the example, the support, and for always being there for me. Happy 50th anniversary. Here’s to many more years together. 🥂❤️

October is Pedestrian Safety Month.

Whether you’re walking, driving, biking, or simply sharing the road, keeping pedestrians safe is something all of us have a part in.

If you’re walking:
Follow traffic signs and signals, use designated crossings when available, and stay alert to the vehicles around you.

If you’re driving:
🚗 Slow down and watch carefully for pedestrians.
🚸 Yield when required at crosswalks and leave enough space so other drivers can see people crossing.
🌙 Be especially alert at night and during bad weather when pedestrians can be harder to spot.
🏫 Follow posted speed limits, particularly in school zones and residential neighborhoods.
👀 Before backing up, take an extra look for pedestrians, especially children.

As a personal injury attorney, I’ve seen how serious pedestrian accidents can be. A person on foot has very little protection when something goes wrong, which makes paying attention behind the wheel especially important.

Slow down, look twice, and give people the time and space they need to cross safely.

📞 If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, call (562) 348-1400 to discuss your options.

First NFL game at SoFi Stadium... and I got to experience the season kickoff! 🏈

There’s something completely different about watching a game in person. The crowd, the energy, the noise, and finally getting to see SoFi Stadium for myself made it such a fun experience.

I spend plenty of time talking about cases, injuries, and workers’ comp around here, so I also love sharing the moments when I get to step away from the office and simply enjoy life.

Safe to say my first NFL game set the bar pretty high. 😂🏈

Who else has been to a game at SoFi? And more importantly... did you actually watch the whole game or spend half the time checking out the stadium? 😅

It’s just one of those days. 😅

If you know me, you know Disney is always going to be my answer when life feels a little too serious. Give me a park ticket, a snack, and a few hours where my biggest decision is what ride to go on next.
Sometimes you just need a little Disney reset. ✨

Who else would drop everything and go today if they could? 👀

Bachelorette weekend in Napa 🍷💍

Last month, I got to celebrate with some of the women I love most, and now we are officially down to just a few more days before the BIG day. 😭 Now please excuse me while I alternate between “I’m so ready!” and “Wait… are we forgetting something?” 😂

Next stop: WEDDING DAY. 💍🤍

Workers’ comp can be frustrating, and if you’ve ever filed a claim, you may have felt at some point that the process wasn’t fair.

And I understand why. You were hurt at work. You’re dealing with pain, appointments, bills, and uncertainty. You hired an attorney because you want someone fighting for you, so naturally, you want things to move faster and every decision to go your way.

What I always want my clients to understand is that workers’ compensation is a process. There are California laws, medical guidelines, deadlines, reviews, and procedures that we have to work within. Sometimes treatment gets challenged. Sometimes benefits are disputed. Sometimes we have to take additional steps before we can get to the result we’re fighting for.

Having an attorney doesn’t mean we get to skip that process. It means you have someone navigating it with you, watching the deadlines, challenging decisions when appropriate, and working to put you in the strongest position possible.

So if you’re frustrated, tell us. Ask questions. We may not always be able to give you the answer you wanted that day, but we will always explain what’s happening and keep working toward the best outcome available under the law.

🍂 Hello, fall!

The change of season is a good reminder to make a few small changes behind the wheel too. As daylight hours get shorter, many of us will find ourselves driving, walking, or biking in lower-light conditions more often.

A few fall road safety reminders:

👀 Watch carefully for pedestrians and cyclists, especially around crosswalks and poorly lit streets.

💡 Check that your headlights, brake lights, and turn signals are working properly.

🛞 Take a look at your tires and make sure the tread and pressure are in good condition.

🌧️ Replace worn windshield wipers before rainy conditions arrive.

🚗 Give yourself more following distance when visibility or road conditions aren't ideal.

And if you're walking after dark, make yourself easier for drivers to see whenever possible. A seasonal vehicle check takes a few minutes. It's a good habit that can help keep you and everyone sharing the road safer.
