Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do after a workplace injury in Fresno?
Report the injury to your employer in writing as soon as possible, because delays can hurt your claim. Then get medical care and keep copies of every record. California law also protects you from retaliation for filing a workers’ comp claim.
How long do I have to file a workers’ compensation claim in California?
You generally have one year from the date of injury to file a claim. Cumulative or repetitive-stress injuries can have a different starting point. A Fresno attorney can confirm your deadline and protect your right to benefits.
Where are Fresno workers’ compensation cases handled?
