Defensa Jurídica Para Lesionados de Empleados De Restaurantes
Abogados De Compensación De Trabajadores En Oakland
Cuando los clientes entran en un restaurante para una comida, comprensiblemente se centran en su platillo y no en la gente que ayuda a preparar y servirla. Lo que la mayoría de la gente no sabe es que los empleados de restaurantes se enfrentan a múltiples peligros en una base regular. Sólo porque los riesgos son generalmente "entre bastidores" o en la cocina no significa que no existen.
Los peligros que un empleado de un restaurante podría encontrarse en una base diaria incluyen:
- Estufas y hornos calientes
- Suelos y escalones húmedos
- Cajas grandes y pesadas
- Cuchillos afilados y bordes cortantes
- Materias o productos alimenticios podrido
- Equipamiento de cocina defectuoso
Consecuencias de peligros comunes de restaurantes pueden incluir:
- Quemaduras graves
- Las lesiones de la espalda
- Las laceraciones
- Enfermedad o infección
- Lesiones cerebrales traumáticas (TBI)
- Despido indebido (incapacidad para el trabajo)
Con tantos objetos peligrosos o tareas alrededor de los empleados de restaurantes, no debería ser una sorpresa para los empresarios, gerentes y restauranteros que a veces la gente se lastime en el trabajo. Y, sin embargo, los cocineros, camareros, azafatas, chefs, cocineros de línea, anfitriones lesionados y más son sistemáticamente desmentidos por sus empleadores cuando se hacen daño y piden la compensación que merecen.

Workers' Comp FAQ
-
Am I Eligible for Workers’ Compensation?
In California, all employees are eligible for workers’ compensation with very few exceptions. If you are classified as an “employee” (rather than an “independent contractor”), you are eligible to receive benefits. This is true regardless of how many employees your employer has, how many hours you work, how much you make, whether you work part-time or full-time, or whether you are a seasonal worker. Additionally, undocumented workers are also eligible for workers’ compensation granted they meet all other eligibility requirements. In contrast, independent contractors and certain other workers, including some volunteers, household workers who are employed by a family member, and others, are not able to file for workers’ compensation benefits.

Can't I Just File for Workers' Compensation on My Own?
Filing for workers' compensation on your own increases the chances that your claim will be denied. One small misstep can prevent you from obtaining the compensation you need for your injuries. In addition, the process is usually complex and tedious, especially for someone with no workers' compensation law experience. It is extremely advantageous that you seek reliable and experienced legal guidance for your claim.

What Can I Expect from the Workers' Compensation Process?
As soon as you reach out to us for help, we will assign you a full-time case manager and attorney. An application will be filed with the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) on your behalf. We will get started on your case immediately to help you receive the medical care you need. If we are unable to receive a fair settlement from the insurance company, we are ready and willing to take your case to trial. After a few months, you will most likely give a deposition. One of our highly experienced attorneys will prepare you and stand at your side the entire time. You don't even have to attend court hearings! One of our trained hearing officers or attorneys can attend on your behalf.

Can My Employer Tell Me to Use Sick Time or Vacation/Personal Time off (PTO) If I’m Injured at Work?
Following a work-related injury, you may not receive workers’ compensation benefits right away or your workers’ compensation claim may be denied. You may receive a note from your doctor that you may take time off work due to your injuries, but how will you be paid if you are not actively seeking workers’ compensation benefits? Your employer may tell you to use your state-mandated/employer-provided sick time in order to continue being paid while you are out of work. Once this sick time is exhausted, your employer may tell you that the only way you can continue to be paid is if you use your vacation or PTO time. In some cases, this may actually be the only way to continue receiving wages while you are out of work and not receiving workers’ compensation benefits.

Can I Get Workers’ Compensation If I Was Fired?
If you were terminated while already receiving workers’ compensation benefits, this does not necessarily affect your right to receive benefits. However, if you were terminated “for cause” (for example, if you were fired because you were caught stealing from your employer), you will not be able to continue collecting benefits. If you were not fired for cause, but were laid off due to your position being terminated or various other reasons, you may still be able to continue collecting your workers’ compensation benefits. If you believe you were terminated because you filed for workers’ compensation or because you were hurt at work, you may have grounds for a retaliation claim. Learn more, including whether you can continue receiving workers’ compensation benefits if you were laid off due to the coronavirus pandemic, see our video with Attorney Bilal Kassem on our Facebook page.
