I would highly recommend anyone to Franco Munoz law firm. No matter how small your injury! I was injured at work! I called around for workers compensation lawyer around no one would take my case! I called Franco Munoz and René returned my call right away after I explained about my injuries he took my case and was able to get me the best doctors for my treatment and later settled the case for 5 times the original offer from the insurance!! I would highly recommend Franco Munoz office . all the staff were professional throughout my treatment to the close of my case. Chacha kora.

I called Steve a few months into my workers comp claim because I was feeling confused and overwhelmed dealing with my employer and workers comp insurance. He spent over an hour answering my questions, explaining to me my options and the workers comp process in a way that I was able to understand. Steve immediately took control of my case and made sure to get me the best medical care available to me. Steve Franco is a very knowledgeable and powerful attorney. I am so grateful to have had Steve and his team on my side throughout my case. I would highly recommend Steve Franco to anyone in need of a workers comp attorney.

Horrible and unprofessional. Attorney always deferred to his legal aid. When it was time for my court hearing Mr. Munoz did not even arrive....again he had is admin or legal aid appear for him.. the judge lambasted her and I later lost the case. Judge suggested I file a grievance which I promptly did. Do not hire. Rude, unprofessional and poor communication

Rene has been professional and knows what he is doing. He puts his clients first and explains everything to you. His secretaries are also highly professional and knowledgeable & have been patient in explaining things to me as well. 5 Stars for sure.

Questions & Answers

Should I Hire a Workers' Comp Attorney, or Can I Handle My Own Case?

Many honest, hardworking people decide not to call an attorney immediately after being injured at work. They think hiring a workers’ comp lawyer escalates the situation beyond what is necessary. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. Workers’ compensation insurance companies are worried about one thing – saving money. Treating you fairly cuts into their profits. Don’t expect them to do the right thing on their own. Fairness just doesn’t happen. Calling an experienced workers’ comp lawyer will help you get fair compensation for your work injuries, lost wages, and other effects the accident had on your life.

What should someone do if they are injured on the job?

You should tell your employer as soon as possible that if you were injured on the job. There are may rules and times that apply to the first 90 days after a claim is filed so it’s important that you report the claim immediately. Otherwise, you could miss out on the full range of benefits afforded to you by the California Workers’ Compensation system. Once you advise your employer of a work-related injury, your manager or boss should provide you Workers’ Compensation Claim Form, known as a DWC-1. This document is very important. Fill it out yourself or with an attorney if you are uncomfortable with the document. Turning in the DWC-1 form starts the Workers’ Compensation claim process. Telling your boss verbally is not enough to trigger your employer’s responsibility to start benefits. Be sure to keep a copy of the completed DWC-1 form for your records.
