How Can a Ventura Healthcare Workers Compensation Attorney Help?

A workplace injury can leave you struggling with medical bills, lost wages, and career uncertainty. Unfortunately, insurance companies often delay or deny legitimate claims. That’s where we step in.

A workers’ compensation attorney can:

  • File and manage your claim to ensure you receive full benefits
  • Appeal denied claims if your employer or insurer refuses to pay
  • Negotiate for maximum compensation, including medical care, wage replacement, and disability benefits
  • Determine if a third party is responsible, allowing for additional compensation beyond workers’ comp
  • Advocate for your rights, ensuring you aren’t pressured into an unfair settlement

With Johnson Sandhu LLP by your side, you can focus on healing while we fight for your benefits.

Common Causes of Healthcare Workplace Injuries

Healthcare workers are at a higher risk for workplace injuries than those in most other industries. These injuries often occur due to:

  • Overexertion and repetitive motion – Lifting and moving patients, long hours on your feet, and repetitive tasks can lead to back injuries, muscle strains, and joint pain.
  • Slip and fall accidents – Spills, wet floors, and cluttered hallways create hazards that can cause fractures, sprains, and head injuries.
  • Needlestick injuries and exposure to illness – Accidental needlesticks or contact with infected patients can lead to serious infections and long-term health complications.
  • Violence in the workplace – Patients or visitors may act aggressively, resulting in physical assault-related injuries.
  • Equipment-related injuries – Malfunctioning or improperly maintained medical devices can lead to burns, lacerations, and trauma.

If unsafe conditions, inadequate training, or employer negligence contributed to your injury, you may have a third-party claim in addition to workers’ compensation benefits.

Common Injuries Among Healthcare Workers

Even minor injuries can lead to long-term medical issues and time away from work. Some of the most common injuries we see in healthcare professionals include:

  • Back and spinal injuries from lifting patients
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive strain injuries from frequent hand movements
  • Broken bones and fractures from slip and falls
  • Infectious diseases from patient exposure
  • Head injuries and concussions due to workplace accidents
  • Psychological trauma and PTSD from workplace violence or high-stress environments

If you have suffered any work-related injury or illness, you may be entitled to medical treatment, wage replacement, and disability benefits under California’s workers’ compensation laws.

Steps to Take After a Healthcare Workplace Injury

Taking the right steps after an injury can protect both your health and your legal rights. If you’ve been injured while working in a hospital, clinic, nursing home, or other healthcare facility, follow these guidelines:

  1. Seek medical attention immediately. Even if the injury seems minor, getting a proper diagnosis is crucial for your health and claim.
  2. Report the injury to your supervisor as soon as possible and ensure an official incident report is filed.
  3. Document everything. Take photos of the accident site, your injuries, and any hazardous conditions that contributed to your accident.
  4. Collect witness statements. If coworkers saw what happened, get their contact information and written statements.
  5. Keep records of all medical visits and expenses.
  6. Consult a workers’ compensation attorney before accepting any settlement. Insurance companies often offer low payouts—make sure you get what you deserve.
  7. File your claim as soon as possible. Waiting too long could jeopardize your right to benefits.

If your workers’ compensation claim has been delayed, denied, or undervalued, Johnson Sandhu LLP can fight for the full compensation you’re entitled to.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Your Injury?

Most healthcare workers are covered by workers’ compensation, which allows them to recover benefits without proving fault. However, in some cases, a third party may also be responsible, opening the door to additional compensation.

Potentially liable third parties may include:

  • Medical equipment manufacturers if faulty devices or machinery contributed to your injury
  • Cleaning companies or maintenance staff if unsafe conditions, such as wet floors or malfunctioning hospital equipment, played a role
  • Security companies if inadequate safety measures led to workplace violence
  • Construction or renovation companies if hazardous conditions on the premises contributed to an accident

A third-party lawsuit could provide additional compensation beyond what is available through workers’ compensation, including full lost wages, pain and suffering, and future medical expenses.
