Getting injured on the job turns your world upside down. Suddenly, you’re not just dealing with pain—you’re dealing with lost wages, doctor visits, and the pressure of figuring out how to keep life going.
If you’re trying to file for Workers’ Compensation, State Disability, unemployment, or stress leave, the process can quickly become overwhelming. The forms are confusing. The delays are long. And sometimes, your claim is denied without a clear reason.
At The Work Justice Firm, we focus on Workers’ Compensation law—and we’re here to help you get the care and support you need to recover and move forward.
Here’s what you should know:
If your injury happened at work, Workers’ Comp is usually the benefit you should be pursuing—not unemployment.
If your claim has been denied or delayed, you may still qualify—and you have the right to appeal.
If your injury is related to stress, anxiety, burnout, or workplace harassment, you may be eligible for stress leave and protected under California labor laws.
If you’re also applying for State Disability Insurance (SDI) or unemployment, you need to understand how those benefits interact with your work injury—and we can guide you through it.
And if your employer is making things worse—ignoring your injury, retaliating, or pressuring you to quit—you may have a legal claim.
We help injured workers get back on their feet by handling:
Workers’ Compensation claims and appeals
Employer retaliation and wrongful termination related to injuries
If you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck, let us take the burden off your shoulders. Brent Marlis and the team at The Work Justice Firm are here to fight for your rights and help you move forward.
You focus on healing—we’ll handle the rest.
