If you're disabled and unable to work, you may be
counting on Social Security Disability to support

What is the Difference Between California Workplace Injuries & Personal Injuries?

When our clients have been injured — whether it happened at work or in their personal lives — they cannot count on the insurance companies or governmental agencies to make them whole again. The difference between a successful and unsuccessful outcome requires knowing where to search for all available benefits, or as we like to say, leaving no stone unturned. Our skilled California injury attorneys and our entire team are here to pursue the best outcome for each unique client.

We are here to help provide the legal experience you need to produce results so you can return to the quality of life you enjoyed before your physical or emotional abilities were altered by actions outside of your control. Contact us today to partner with skilled legal advocates who are dedicated to producing real results.

We Have a Relentless Commitment to Protect Our Client’s Rights. Always.

For over six decades, Ghitterman, Ghitterman & Feld has protected the rights of injured and disabled California residents and workers by helping them navigate the challenges from workers’ compensation insurance companies, the Social Security Administration and governmental disability programs and liability insurance companies present at every turn.

We know that no matter where or how you were injured, the insurance company is not simply going to write a blank check for your complete recovery needs. Instead, it will put up seemingly insurmountable resistance that will make your pursuit of fair and just compensation feel hopeless. You deserve more. We are dedicated and persistent advocates for our clients who leave no stone unturned when managing their unique cases. We can do the same for you and your family.

Whether you are pursuing workers’ compensation, a personal injury claim, social security disability, or disability retirement, or would like to appeal a previous denial, we can help.

We have six physical offices, in Bakersfield, Fresno, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Ventura, and Visalia, and our top tier technologies provide a virtual reach to serve clients throughout California. We offer free in-person, telephone, and virtual consultations to offer straightforward legal advice for your unique needs. Contact us today to learn more about your legal rights and options.
