Workplace Abuse Lawyer
Workplace abuse is alive and well in 21st Century California. Our employee lawyers have fought and won many workplace abuse cases for our clients. We have obtained monetary compensation for our employee clients while restoring their dignity.
Relief provided for workplace abuses, other than work injuries caused by ordinary negligence, include tort damages. These damages include lost wages, damages for mental suffering, and potential punitive damages. Workplace abuses involving unlawful discrimination or sexual harassment require the employer to pay the employee’s attorney fees if the employee wins the lawsuit against their employer.
Workplace abuses for unpaid wages carry many fines and penalties the employee may be able to recover. If the employer loses they must pay the employee’s attorney fees. However, our labor lawyers take all cases on a contingency. This means we are only paid out of what we recovery.
WE ADVANCE COURT COST.
ALL CASES ARE TAKEN ON CONTINGENCY.
WE ARE ONLY PAID IF WE WIN!

Workplace Abuses Falling Under The Workers Compensation System
Workplace abuses may fall both under the civil court system and the workers compensation system. However, some types of workplace abuse only allow for legal recovery in the workers compensation system. Workplace abuses that must be redressed in the workers compensation system allow the employees certain remedies. Remedies under the workers compensation system include:
- Permanent and Temporary Disability Benefits which mean a percent of the employee’s normal salary until they are mentally or physically able to work at the capacity they did before the workplace injury
- Paid for Medical and Psychological Treatment
- Potential lump sum payments for workplace injuries
Our work lawyers can advise you whether your workplace harm qualifies for workers compensation benefits and/or civil damages. Call us at (818) 783-7300 for a confidential conversation about your workplace problems. Some Of Our Workplace Abuse Case Results:
