WHAT WE DO

Under California law, injured workers are entitled to workers' compensation for injuries sustained in work-related accidents, even if employers are not at fault. At Mikaelian Law, we litigate all types of work-related accidents, from falls to fires to vehicular or construction accidents. We aggressively fight and overturn insurance carriers' denials of valid claims. Even if your claim is not denied, chances are your employer is cutting corners and you are not getting all the benefits you should. We will not leave a single stone unturned until we deliver the best possible legal outcomes to you.

The vast majority of people do not realize that they may have sustained work-related injuries if they are not involved in any accident. Nonetheless, the state of California grants its people a right to workers' compensation for certain cumulative traumas sustained at work. Cumulative traumas are injuries caused by the repetitive nature of work duties, and such injuries develop over time. Most cumulative traumas get denied by insurance carriers. Our practice specializes in overturning denials of valid cumulative traumas. We do not charge upfront fees, and you pay nothing until and unless we obtain an award on your behalf.

The State of California has special rules and benefits for work-related injuries sustained by firefighters, law enforcement officers, sheriffs, and certain other professionals. As a former defense attorney representing County of Los Angeles, Ms. Mikaelian possesses an immense expertise in all intricacies of the law governing these special cases. Ms. Mikaelian will ensure your municipal employer respects your rights to proper healthcare and compensation. An expert litigator, Ms. Mikaelian will deliver the best care and the outstanding results you deserve.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Ivan A
❝My prior attorney, I have never seen him. I would call, and his assistant might call me back, but they would never let me near the actual attorney. When the insurance cut my benefits, and my prior attorney would not respond in weeks, I said enough is enough. I found Ms. Mikaelian through a friend of a friend of a friend. I had a meeting with Ms. Mikaelian, and she listened to me and immediately went to court and got me my benefits back. This speaks for itself.❞
Melissa R
❝Workers comp is not simple, and there is a lot of things that I am clueless about. What I like about Ms. Mikaelian is that she makes sure I understand what is happening. She gives me options so that I could make an educated decision about my case. I am also impressed that she does not hesitate to go to court to fight for my rights if the insurance company does something wrong. Ms. Mikaelian has been to court a lot for me.❞
Jeffrey N.
When I injured myself at work, my employer tried to sweep it under the rug. I felt threatened for reporting my injury and asking for medical help, I thought they would fire me for that. Working with Ms. Mikaelian brought me my confidence back. She found me good doctors and got me disability pay. I can now focus on my recovery and not worry that my employer would retaliate and I would be left injured without any money.
