There are lawyers that do personal injury cases, and there are lawyers who do workers' compensation cases, but only a few firms that do both. At Butler Viadro, LLP, we handle both types of cases, including cases where the two types of claims overlap. This unique combination of skills helps ensure that you don't have to pay for two separate lawyers who might be working at cross purposes.
Our nuanced approach is respectful of your time and money, and helps you secure the full compensation you need when you need it. An injury can be either physically or financially catastrophic. A serious car crash, for example, could leave you paralyzed. But even a less severe injury could mean you are unable to work, or are forced to take a much lower paying job than you had before.

At Butler Viadro, LLP, we have more than 20 years of experience serving California residents who have been harmed due to the negligence of another party. Our attorneys handle a wide array of personal injury accidents, from defective products to car accidents to cases arising from dangerous premises.
At Butler Viadro, LLP, we help people who have experienced an injury at work. Much of the time, compensation can be obtained by filing a workers' compensation claim, but sometimes there may be someone else responsible - a manufacturer who created defective machinery, a negligent subcontractor or a vendor who acted recklessly.
At Butler Viadro, LLP, many of the cases we handle come to us on referral from workers' compensation attorneys who focus their practices solely on workers' compensation matters. We also receive referrals from other personal injury attorneys. We handle personal injury lawsuits for their clients, often partnering with the referring attorney to achieve the best possible results.
What should I do if I have been hurt at work? The first thing to do is to be sure to report your injury to your employer and fill out all necessary paperwork, making sure to include all body parts involved in the injury. If the injury is serious, take photographs of the area, and include photos of anything which caused injury.

This law firm came through in a huge way for me. At the start I was very naive to the process of my specific legal matter, but Butler Viadro was with me the whole way. They broke down the processes and defined terms. They kept in touch to ensure I was confident in the decisions we made and informed on what’s next. I felt prepared for what was to come and that my case was in good capable hands.
I’d def recommend Butler Viadro to my friends should they ever need their personal injury law services.

Chris is amazing, never had a lawyer before and he made the process so smooth and easy. I had no idea how things worked and he took care of everything for me. I've already recommended him to another friend, and will be recommended him to anybody that needs the services he has to offer.
Thanks again all you guys. It was a great experience.

Thanks to Attorney Chris Viadro and his paralegal assistant Alicia Villanueva for helping me with my workers compensation claim. It's not easy being injured on the job. It's very painful, stressful and depressing for what I've been through. But I am very thankful that Chris made sure that my medical and health was taken care of, and I was provided with help I needed with my claims. It was a 4 year battle with my case and finally Chris handled it well with a firm resolution. I am very pleased and happy hiring him to represent my workers comp case.
Again thank you so much to Butler

Best lawyers ever! Went to them for my fathers close to fatal work injury when a construction beam hit him resulting in crushed femur and permanent life long injuries and came out with amazing family friends! They went above and beyond for all of us. Gave us peace of mind that we did not have in such a long time. We struggled with many obstacles and they were there to answer every question every second of the day. Very informative. Walked us through all the process. They explained everything to us. We were clueless when this all began. I cant tell you how many times we called the office not knowing

The day I met Chris Viadro and retained him to represent my sister's interest in her work comp case was one of the few bright days in the 2.5 years I was privileged to be her medical and legal advocate. What a relief when, after hearing me lay out what happened, Chris said he thought our position had merit. He lifted an enormous burden from my shoulders that day.
All along, I knew that Chris held her interests first and foremost. Her case was not simple, in fact, it was quite unusual, what with her first QME physician himself dying before he could be deposed, a 2nd QME physician basically

I hired James Butler for my workers compensation case. That was the best thing I could have done. I am a retired Union Boilermaker out of local 549. This man ( James Butler) has done everything above & beyond my expectations. I highly recommend that anyone who needs an attorney to contact Butler & Viadro .

By the time I got to the offices of Butler Viadro I was frustrated to say the least. Workers Comp had been a nightmare and for whatever reason I had been slow to get the help of a lawyer. WC refused to give me more physical therapy and MRI's even though my doctor and Physical Therapist recommended it. They were more interested in shoving me back to work which I was physically not ready for. I met David Peralta and he immediately put my mind to rest. Once he got on the case more Physical Therapy was approved along with the MRI's. We also changed to a better doctor and any time I had a

I hired Butler Viadro (Chris Viadro was my attorney) to represent me in my worker's comp injury case and am extremely grateful that I did. I was not sure if I should hire anybody, let alone a firm that I knew virtually nothing about... I am happy to say however that the decisions to hire an attorney, and to hire Chris Viadro of Butler Viadro, were beyond "smart" decisions and if I had to decide all over again, I would not change a thing.
Chris was very knowledgeable in worker's rights as well as injury laws and stipulations... and where he had questions about my case or my
