Feeling Overwhelmed? We Will Do Our Part To Help.
If you have sustained a serious workplace injury, you may be asking this question: “Why would I need a lawyer?”
The simple answer is that California workers’ compensation is a complex and adversarial system. Employers and their insurers want to limit their financial exposure and get you back on the job as soon as possible. You need an attorney by your side — someone who knows the law and can capably protect your interests, in and out of court.
Our law firm dates back nearly a century. The attorneys of the Johnson Law Firm have successfully helped thousands of clients in San Jose and the South Bay area obtain workers’ compensation benefits. Our dedication to your unique needs, our broad legal knowledge, thorough case preparation and attentive personal service all contribute to our reputation for results.

When Might You Need A San Jose Workers’ Comp Lawyer?
While you are entitled by law to workers’ compensation for a job-related accident or injury, there are many scenarios where you may need legal representation to enforce those rights:
- Your employer or their insurer denies your claim
- The insurer is giving you the run-around
- You are not receiving the correct amount of wage benefits
- Your severe injury qualifies for permanent disability
- Your benefits claim is being terminated
- You were denied surgery or other necessary medical treatment
- Your employer is asking you to return to work before you are ready
- Your disability rating has been downgraded
- You developed a repetitive stress injury and need to prove it is work-related
- Your employer or their insurer are retaliating for filing a workers’ comp claim
- You have grounds to sue a third party who contributed to your work injury
- You are ordered to an independent medical exam
These are just some of the common problems where our attorneys are called to intervene. We invite you to tell us more about your specific situation.
