Workers' Compensation

At the Law Offices of Norman J. Homen our goal is to provide the injured and disabled clients with the best results in a timely and cost-effective manner.  For over 16 years, our outstanding litigation team has remained dedicated to the rights and welfare of injured and disabled clients throughout Southern California including Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside and San Bernardino County at Status Conference, Mandatory Settlement Conference, Trial and Expedite Hearings in front of The State of California Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board.  Mr. Homen is dedicated to help clients receive proper medical care, temporary disability and permanent disability, vocational rehabilitation or voucher or other compensation should the impairments become permanent.

Types of Injuries

A work injury may be the result of a single incident, such as dropping a heavy object on your foot, or cutting your finger on a machine.

An injury may also be the result of continuous trauma (“ct”) of work activities over a period of time, for example, a person whose job requires the lifting of heavy objects over a period of time may develop back or neck pain.  Another example would be a person whose job requires repetitive motion of the hands or wrists such as assembly work or typing at a computer.  This work might develop carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive use syndrome of the wrists, and this would also be considered a work injury entitling a person to the same benefits as if it had been a specific injury.  Another example of continuous trauma would be an employee, either by the nature of the job or harassments of the management, developed stress, anxiety and depression.  This type of injury will constitute a psychological claim.

A work injury may also be the result of an occupational disease, exposure to harmful chemical or illness that the work place has produced.  An example would be a worker who developed asbestosis due to exposure to asbestos products on the job.

An incident or activity on the job which aggravates a previous injury or an existing condition is also considered a work injury.  An example of this would be an employee who has had prior back problems and then re-injures the back from lifting on the job.  That person is entitled to work injury benefits.
In some instances, a person may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits even if the injury did not occur at the work site. For example, if the injury occurred in the company parking lot on the way to or from work, it is considered a work injury.  A heart attack or stroke which is due to work stress is a workers’ compensation injury, even if the heart attack or stroke occurs at home.

Mr. Homen also represents clients in death claim of their spouse, or parent.  If you have lost your spouse, or loved ones, or even a parent following a job related injury, we will help you as the decedent’s immediate family members; such as surviving spouses and children, and sometimes parents or siblings, to bring action to recover benefits.
