Diamond Bar Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

Helping Injured Workers Get Benefits

Your Work Injury, Our Priority

A wreck on the 57, 60, 71, or I-10 can flip your life in an instant. As your Diamond Bar car accident lawyer, The Guerrero Firm moves fast to secure evidence, manage insurance calls, and position your claim for maximum recovery. From high-speed collisions near the 57/60 interchange to rear-end crashes on Grand Ave, we know the patterns, the adjusters, and the pressure points that move cases.

What Injuries Qualify for Workers’ Comp?

From One-Time Accidents to Occupational Illness

Falls from ladders, lift-truck (forklift) or loading dock incidents, repetitive stress injuries, machinery entanglements, and vehicle collisions while on duty can all qualify. So can occupational illnesses—chemical exposure, respiratory problems, or cumulative trauma from fast-paced warehouse work near Walnut, Rowland Heights, and Pomona. If your injury happened while working, let us evaluate eligibility and next steps.

Steps to Take After a Workplace Injury

Act Quickly to Protect Your Benefits

Report the injury to your employer immediately (California law sets strict timelines). Seek medical care—your employer may direct you to a clinic, but you still have rights to appropriate treatment. Document what happened, keep copies of forms, and follow doctor’s orders. File a DWC-1 claim form promptly, and call The Guerrero Firm if you hit delays or denial tactics.

Your Rights in the Workers’ Comp Process

The Benefits You Can Pursue

You may be entitled to medical treatment with no copays, temporary disability (wage replacement), permanent disability benefits when applicable, and retraining vouchers if you can’t return to your old job. It’s illegal for an employer to retaliate because you filed a claim—if you feel pressure at work, tell us so we can step in.

How The Guerrero Firm Can Help

Paperwork, Doctors, Hearings—Handled

We file and track your claim, push for authorizations, connect you with specialists when a second opinion is needed, and prepare you for QME/AME evaluations. With deep litigation drafting experience and hearing representation, we negotiate fair settlements and, when necessary, argue your case at the WCAB so you can focus on recovery.

Third-Party Liability (When You Can Sue)

When Workers’ Comp Isn’t the Only Path

Workers’ comp is usually the exclusive remedy against your employer, but if a subcontractor caused the harm or a machine failed, you may also have a civil claim. We evaluate defective products involving guards, presses, ladders, or tools, and on-the-clock crashes tied to car accidents—pursuing every responsible party to maximize your total recovery.
