Time Limitations for Workers’ Compensation Claims
If you’ve been injured at work, you have a limited window to report your injury and file a workers’ compensation claim. Missing these deadlines can result in losing your right to medical care, wage replacement, or permanent disability benefits.
At Kenton Koszdin Law Office, we help injured workers throughout Los Angeles and Southern California take action before time runs out. Our experienced legal team ensures your claim is filed correctly and on time — protecting your health and your future.
Why Time Matters in Workers’ Compensation Claims
California law has strict deadlines for every stage of a workers’ comp case. Many valid claims are denied simply because the injured worker didn’t act quickly enough.
We understand that injuries are overwhelming — but when it comes to workers’ comp, delays can cost you everything.
