About California Laws Regarding Factory Injuries

Robert Ozeran is a Los Angeles, California Workers Comp Lawyer working with factory injuries for over a decade. For countless factory workers, they go into their workplace in hopes of it being a safe environment. Unfortunately, factories are some of the more dangerous locations for workers. In many situations, workers who suffer injuries in factories have the legal rights to pursue compensation through workers’ compensation claims, or potentially through a lawsuit in different situations. If you work in a factory in California, and you suffer an injury, it’s vital to recognize how to pursue compensation.

Some of the most dangerous situations in factories that may allow you to pursue compensation include the following:

• Any action in which someone else causes your injuries while on the job. 
• If a manufacturing defect or other outside source causes your injuries.
• If you suffer an injury in an accident not caused by someone else’s actions.

In very few situations, you may be unable to recover compensation through workers’ compensation, such as if your own horseplay and actions resulted in your injury. Whether you’re filing a workers’ compensation claim or through a third-party lawsuit, you’re going through insurance companies to pay for your compensation. Unfortunately, insurance companies prioritize profits over anything else, and they’re quick to deny rightful claims when you need it the most.
