Workplace Accidents
At Lee Injury Attorneys, we help injured workers secure the full benefits they deserve after serious on-the-job accidents.
Injured on the Job?
Secure Your Workers’ Compensation Rights.
Workplace accidents are defined as “Specific Injuries” under California law—incidents that occur at a specific time and place while performing job duties. Whether caused by machinery, a fall, or a vehicle collision, the impact of a single moment can be permanent.
Under California Labor Code, employees injured in workplace accidents are entitled to medical care, temporary disability (wage replacement), and permanent disability benefits, regardless of fault. At Lee Partners Law, David A. Lee & Michael Lee help injured workers substantiate their claims and secure the maximum benefits available.

Common Workplace Accidents & Specific Injuries
Workplace accidents occur across all industries, from administrative offices to construction sites. We frequently represent clients injured in:
- Falls: Slips and falls on slick surfaces, or falls from ladders, scaffolding, and elevated heights.
- Vehicle Incidents: Car or truck accidents occurring during work hours, including delivery and commercial driving.
- Struck-By Hazards: Injuries caused by falling objects, debris, or unsecured equipment.
- Machinery Malfunctions: Crush injuries, lacerations, or entanglement involving heavy machinery.
- Toxic Exposure: Acute injuries resulting from sudden chemical spills, fires, or electrical shock.
Physical Impact of Workplace Accidents
Sudden accidents often result in objective medical findings that require immediate documentation. We handle claims involving:
- Orthopedic Trauma: Broken bones, fractures, and ligament tears (ACL/MCL).
- Neurological Damage: Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), concussions, and nerve damage.
- Spinal Injuries: Herniated discs, spinal cord damage, and paralysis.
- Catastrophic Harm: Amputations, severe burns, and internal organ damage.
Note: Even if an accident aggravates a pre-existing condition, you may still be entitled to benefits under the “lighting up” doctrine in California law.
What If You Are Unsure Your Injury Is Work-Related?
Many injured workers delay filing because they are unsure if their accident qualifies, especially if pain develops days after the incident. You do not need to make this medical determination on your own. Lee Partners Law arranges comprehensive Qualified Medical Evaluations (QME) to:
- Diagnose the full extent of your injury.
- Establish the legal causation between your employment and the accident.
- Counter insurance denials based on “non-work” factors.
This is NO cost and insurance companies must pay regardless of the outcome.
How We Protect Your Claim
Insurance adjusters often attempt to minimize specific injury claims or prematurely terminate temporary disability payments. Our role is to strictly enforce the timeline and benefits mandated by law:
- Communication: We handle all correspondence with claims administrators.
- Medical Control: We challenge improper medical denials and fight for your right to see competent specialists.
- Rating Accuracy: We ensure your Permanent Disability rating reflects your true level of impairment.
- Settlement: We negotiate for fair value, ensuring future medical care is covered.
Don’t Let the Insurance Company Control Your Claim
If you have suffered a specific injury at work, you do not have to navigate the claims process alone. A single mistake or delay can permanently reduce your workers’ compensation benefits. Speak with an attorney who knows how to protect your claim from day one.
