About us

When you get hurt on the job, you need medical care and a way to pay bills until you can heal and get back to work. So state government created Workers’ Compensation in order for you to “apply” for benefits that you’re already entitled to and that your employer already paid for. But the slow-moving, inefficient, and complex state bureaucracy cheats employers out of what they paid for, rewards shady insurers, and empowers anonymous out-of-state physicians to reject your company-doctor’s orders. The system is failing Californians. Women are subjected to gender bias. Latinos are killed and injured more than others. Asians are blocked by language barriers. And African Americans are denied because of genetics. We are attorney-advocates. We understand that change must happen. Working Californians and attorney-advocates. We can make it happen. You & Us. Together, we are The Applicants.
