Getting injured on the job hurts you twice: first at work, and then at home. If a workplace injury prevents you from doing your job effectively, that will immediately threaten your ability to earn a living. Meanwhile, you can't just leave your workplace accidents at the workplace - your injury follows you home and can negatively affect your personal life as well.
If you've been injured on the job, you are likely entitled to workers' compensation. But employers have natural incentives to downplay work-related injuries and minimize the amount they'll have to pay. As a workers' compensation lawyer with offices in Covina, I can help make sure you receive the full benefits to which you're entitled.

Once a doctor has seen and treated your workplace injury, you'll have a sense of whether your injury will interfere with your work responsibilities, and for how long. If you are hospitalized overnight, or if your doctor says you will be unable to work for more than three days, you may be eligible for temporary disability benefits under California's workers' compensation laws.

This was one of the best experiences I have had working with sucH a wonderful team. Mr. Hernandez and his team did everything in their power to make my experience with workman's comp as smooth as possible. Anytime I needed anything someone from the office was always available and if they weren't they got back to me very next day. I was never stuck waiting and wondering about how my case was going. Communication means a lot to me and I feel it also means a lot to the people in his office. Everyone in his office are down to earth, they never made me feel intimidated or made me feel like

John and his team were absolutely excellent and I am beyond grateful for everything they did for me. They took a situation that was very daunting to me and made everything easy because they were so knowledgeable, professional and caring. John Hernandez and Joshua Meran were both more than pleasant to work with on top of all the other qualities I listed above. If I ever need a law firm again I will absolutely be using John and his team!

Mr. Hernandez and his team were helpful and guided me through the entire process. They were great at keeping me up to date with my case, answering all my questions, and replying back to my emails at a timely manner. They also helped me get all the medical care I needed. At the end of my case I got a good resolution. I highly recommend him.

I absolutely loved the way Mr Hernandez handled my case. I wish I had started with him. The Firm I originally hired dropped the ball & John Hernandez was there to get the job done! I am appreciative. I am thankful that I take the time to read reviews because that is how I found John. He consulted with me and the rest is history. He is an Awesome and Fair Lawyer. I would recommend and if I'm ever in need again, I will be using John Hernandez esq.

I remodeled a number of rental real estate properties and had to hire people for painting, landscaping and other services. My belief was that these were just self-employed contractor relationships and then I got an introduction to the workers compensation system which pretty much assumes everyone is an employee unless proven otherwise. A handyman filed a workers comp claim and commenced to run up medical claims that were then sent to my business.
Fortunately, I found John Hernandez to defend me. John is a retired judge and his knowledge and experience were extremely reassuring in a very difficult

I was being beat up with a legal situation and because I am not an attorney, I was unaware of my rights. I was referred to John Hernandez Law Offices, and that initial phone call lifted a weight off of my shoulders. The professional, HONEST service you get goes unnoticed and you're not treated as just a "file" but a human being that John and his team go to bat to seek justice for. I would recommend his office to anyone facing any work related issues, and if I'd ever had any future issues John is the first person I would call. I would like to add the entire TEAM and office

After a horrible accident where I fractured my L1 vertebrae in my back, I didn't know where to turn. I was in a lot of pain and the insurance companies were just running me in circles. I wasn't getting the care that I needed. I was referred to John Hernandez law office and him and his staff took care of everything for me they were very understanding and supportive and had great communication if you need an attorney if you've been injured you need John!

John Hernandez represented me on a workers comp case against my employer after I attempted to do this on my own without success. John was very knowledgeable, professional and always kept me well formed throughout the process. Withing a short period of time after retaining his services the case began to move forward and I started to receive the medical care I needed to get better. Shortly after, John won my case and obtained a nice settlement to compensate me for my injury.
I recommend John Hernandez to all my family and friends.
Thank you John for all your hard work and your prompt service
