Past results do not guarantee, warrant, or predict future cases. Each case is different and results depend on specific facts and circumstances.

An injured Southern California worker gets covered medical care, two-thirds wage replacement while disabled, a permanent disability rating once stable, a retraining voucher if the old job is gone, and the right to a Spanish-language interpreter at every hearing — regardless of fault or immigration status. Yazdchi Law represents injured workers across Los Angeles, Kern, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange counties from a Palmdale headquarters and appears at the Van Nuys, Bakersfield, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Pomona, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Oxnard WCAB districts. Eman Yazdchi is a Certified Specialist in Workers’ Compensation Law (California Board of Legal Specialization, State Bar of California — CA Bar #285231).

Why It Matters

Board Certification Is the Highest Standard in Workers’ Comp Law

Board certification by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization requires years of demonstrated expertise, favorable peer and judicial evaluations, advanced continuing education, and passage of a comprehensive written examination. Fewer than 1% of California attorneys hold a specialist certification in Workers’ Compensation Law.

When you hire a board-certified specialist, you hire an attorney whose mastery of workers’ compensation law has been independently verified by the State Bar — not just claimed in an advertisement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Workers’ Comp

What does it mean that Eman Yazdchi is a Certified Specialist in Workers' Compensation Law?

Board certification by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization is a rigorous credential held by fewer than 1% of California attorneys in Workers' Compensation Law. It requires years of demonstrated expertise in workers' compensation law, advanced continuing education beyond standard requirements, favorable evaluations from peers and judges, and passage of a comprehensive written examination. Choosing a certified specialist means your attorney has been independently verified to possess mastery of this complex area of law.

How much does it cost to hire a workers' comp attorney?

There is no upfront cost to hire Yazdchi Law. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. Attorney fees in California workers' comp cases are set by the WCAB and typically range from 12-15% of your award or settlement. This fee structure ensures that injured workers can access high-quality legal representation regardless of their financial situation.

What benefits am I entitled to under California workers' compensation?

California workers' comp provides five core benefits: medical treatment for your work injury at no cost to you, temporary disability payments (approximately two-thirds of your average weekly wage) while you recover, permanent disability payments if your injury causes lasting impairment, supplemental job displacement benefits (a retraining voucher) if you cannot return to your former job, and death benefits for dependents if a work injury is fatal. A certified specialist ensures you receive the maximum available under each category.

How soon must I report my work injury to my employer?

You should report your injury to your employer as soon as possible, and California law requires you to report it within 30 days of the injury under Labor Code section 5400. For injuries that develop over time (cumulative trauma), the 30-day clock starts when you knew or should have known the injury was work-related. Failing to report on time can jeopardize your benefits, so report immediately and follow up in writing to create a paper trail.

What is the deadline to file a workers' comp claim in California?

You have one year from the date of injury to file a formal workers' comp claim (DWC-1 form) under Labor Code section 5405. For cumulative trauma injuries, the one-year clock starts on the date you knew or should have known the condition was work-related. For occupational diseases, the deadline may be extended under certain circumstances. Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your claim, so consult an attorney immediately if you are approaching any deadline.
