Have You Missed Work Due to Psychological Injury?

At Smith & Baltaxe, LLP, we help people who have suffered psychological injuries recover benefits through the workers' compensation program. In general there are three types of work-related psychological injuries:

  • Work-related stress: Mounting job stress can lead to a host of ailments and conditions that severely inhibit your ability to work.
  • Psychological sequelae: This term refers to psychological injuries resulting from the depression and anxiety of being unable to work due to a physical injury. It is compensable under workers' compensation law.
  • A traumatic event: A one-time event can leave you with psychological scars which make it impossible for you to perform your job functions.

Our attorneys are well-versed in California workers' compensation law in regard to psychological injuries and have a long track record of winning successful results for our clients. We are experienced lawyers and compassionate people. We want to help you get the benefits you need and deserve.
