Types of Workplace Injuries We Handle
Workplace injuries affect people differently, but the challenges are often the same: lost wages, medical bills, and the stress of dealing with a claim. At Hinden & Breslavsky, APC, we work with employees who’ve suffered injuries like sprains, burns, hearing loss, or injuries caused by repetitive motions. These injuries can prevent you from doing your job and disrupt your entire life. We handle every step of the process, including gathering evidence and representing you in disputes. Our focus is on getting the workers’ compensation benefits you deserve for your specific injury.
In Redondo Beach, the workplace injuries we handle most frequently reflect the city’s strong ties to the aerospace, defense technology, hospitality, and maritime industries. The Redondo Beach area is home to major employers like Northrop Grumman, Raytheon (now RTX), and Boeing’s satellite division along Aviation Boulevard and the South Bay aerospace corridor, where engineers, technicians, and assembly workers face exposure to hazardous chemicals, repetitive strain from precision manufacturing tasks, and laboratory-related injuries. Along the Redondo Beach Pier, King Harbor, and the Riviera Village shopping district, hospitality and food service workers commonly suffer slip-and-fall injuries, burns, and lifting strains. The city’s active construction and renovation scene — particularly in North Redondo, South Redondo, and the beachfront properties along Esplanade — also exposes workers to fall hazards, power tool injuries, and heat-related illnesses.
Workers who suffer catastrophic injuries in any of these industries deserve aggressive legal representation to secure the full benefits they are owed.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
Compensation after a work injury can cover a variety of needs, depending on the severity of your case. Medical treatment is one of the main forms of compensation you can pursue, but it doesn’t end there. If your injury causes you to miss work, you may be entitled to benefits to replace lost wages. In cases where the injury leads to long-term or permanent disability, you could qualify for additional compensation to help cover the ongoing impact it has on your life. Our firm works closely with you to ensure we explore all possible avenues for compensation, making sure you’re covered for both short-term and long-term needs.
Steps to Take After Suffering a Workplace Injury
When you suffer an injury at work, it’s important to report the injury to your employer right away. This creates an official record, which is crucial for your workers’ compensation claim. Even if you think the injury isn’t serious, you should seek medical care. A doctor will be able to evaluate your injury and start the necessary treatments. Afterward, keep all records of your doctor visits and treatments. These will be needed to file your workers’ compensation claim. Our firm is here to help ensure the process goes smoothly and that you receive the benefits you deserve.
Redondo Beach workers should know the specific resources available when filing a workers’ compensation claim. The nearest Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) office serving Redondo Beach is the Long Beach district office at 300 Long Beach Blvd, Suite 400, Long Beach, CA 90802 — approximately a 20-minute drive south via the 405 Freeway or PCH. Under California Labor Code Section 5401, your employer must provide you with a DWC-1 claim form within one working day of being notified of your injury. If your employer or their insurer delays your claim, you have legal options to push the process forward. Redondo Beach workers should also be aware that your employer’s insurer is required to authorize up to $10,000 in medical care while the claim is under investigation — nearby treatment facilities include Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center in Torrance and Beach Cities Health Center in Redondo Beach.
