How Will My Medical Bills Be Paid After I Get Injured?
If I Was Working During My Los Angeles Accident, Who paid for My Medical Expenses?
In the State of California, in most cases, if you are injured while working, Workers’ Compensation will cover all of your medical expenses whether you are “on or off the books.
At the Agemian Law Group of Vinny Agemian, our experienced Los Angeles personal injury attorneys understand the complex interplay between a personal injury action and a Workers’ Compensation claim. We will ensure you get the maximum recovery possible for both.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
We represent clients in all types of personal injury cases:
Car Accidents
Los Angeles has some of the most dangerous roads in the country with thousands of car accidents every year. Speeding, distracted driving, reckless behavior and drunk driving are some of the most common causes of accidents that result in severe injuries, permanent disabilities and even fatalities. If you were injured in a car accident due to someone else’s negligence you may be entitled to:
- Medical expenses (emergency treatment, surgeries, rehabilitation, medication)
- Lost wages and future earnings (if your injury prevents you from working)
- Pain and suffering (physical pain, emotional distress, reduced quality of life)
- Vehicle repairs or replacement:
We will investigate your accident, gather traffic camera footage, witness statements, police reports, and medical records, and work to hold the at-fault party accountable.
Workplace Injuries
Workplace accidents can happen in any industry but construction, manufacturing and industrial jobs pose especially high risks. Slips and falls, exposure to hazardous substances, faulty equipment and employer negligence can all lead to serious injuries.
If you were hurt at work you may be eligible for: Workers’ comp benefits (medical treatment, wage replacement, disability benefits)
- Third-party claims (if another party besides your employer was responsible for your injury)
Our personal injury attorneys will help you navigate the workers’ comp system and determine if you can file an additional personal injury lawsuit to get more damages.
Medical Malpractice
Doctors are supposed to provide safe, competent care. When they don’t, patients suffer. Common examples of medical malpractice include:
- Surgical errors (wrong-site surgery, anesthesia mistakes, retained surgical instruments)
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis (cancer misdiagnosis, failure to detect serious conditions)
- Medication errors (wrong dosage, harmful drug interactions, prescribing the wrong medication)
If you or a loved one was hurt due to medical negligence, we will work with medical experts and forensic specialists to build a strong case against the responsible parties.
Wrongful Death Claims
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s recklessness or negligence is a tragedy. A wrongful death lawsuit can help surviving family members get financial stability after their loss by covering:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of financial support and income
- Medical expenses incurred before the death
- Loss of companionship and emotional suffering
We know no amount of money can replace a loved one, but we are committed to helping families get justice and holding those responsible accountable.
Slip and Fall Accidents – Property Owner Negligence
Slip and fall accidents are a leading cause of severe injuries, including broken bones, spinal injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. Property owners have a legal obligation to maintain safe premises and address hazards like:
- Wet floors or spills
- Uneven sidewalks or flooring
- Poor lighting in stairwells or walkways
- Lack of proper warning signs
We can help you file a premises liability claim for compensation if you fell due to a property owner’s negligence.
Some other cases:
Who will pay for my lost wages if I cannot work?
If you have disability or other types of insurance, you can get compensation for your lost wages from your insurance company.
If you are injured while working, Workers’ Compensation will pay for your lost wages.
If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, Los Angeles’s No-Fault laws provide for the payment of lost wages to these victims.
If you are not covered by insurance for lost wages, our law firm with its vast network of vendors and knowledge of agencies can help you attain the same living style that you had prior to the accident. Do not let the fear of lost wages stop you from filing a personal injury claim.
What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury case?
After an injury accident, you may be entitled to the following types of compensation:
- Past & Future Pain & Suffering
- Past & Future Medical Bills & Expenses
- Past & Future Lost Wages
This is not an exhaustive list, as you may be entitled to more. Our Los Angeles personal injury attorneys have years of experience in getting the highest awards possible for our clients and fighting for what you deserve.

Should I talk to an insurance company if I have been injured in an accident?
Why Choose Our Los Angeles Personal Injury Law Firm?
Personal injury cases are fought hard by the defendants’ insurance companies. These companies are powerful, national and multinational companies with unlimited resources. They will use their power to fight personal injury cases and minimize paying injured victims their rightful compensation.
They will use the overburdened court system to delay and limit justice for accident victims and control the process. Choosing the right personal injury lawyer Los Angeles can make all the difference in your case. At Agemian Law Group, we take a client-centered approach and put your needs, recovery, and future first. We will speedily and aggressively move your case to trial and take control of the process away from the at-fault party’s insurance company. At trial, the insurance companies lose the power to determine your compensation to a jury of their peers… people like you and I who will be more sympathetic to your injuries.
Years of Experience and Proven Results
Our team of personal injury attorneys has years of experience handling personal injury cases, from small injury claims to multi-million dollar lawsuits. We know the California legal system and have recovered significant settlements and verdicts for our clients.
Aggressive Negotiation and Litigation
Insurance companies have lawyers dedicated to reducing payouts and denying claims. Without strong legal representation, accident victims are often forced to accept lowball settlement offers that do not cover their medical bills or future needs. We negotiate with insurance adjusters and take your case to court if necessary to get you the maximum settlement.
At larger law firms, clients often feel like just another case number. We believe in building attorney-client relationships by offering one-on-one attention, clear communication and customized legal strategies.

KEEP TRACK OF YOUR INJURIES
Were you injured in a personal injury accident? Here’s why you must call our office:
- Those who are responsible for the injuries of others will almost always deny responsibility and even blame you for the accident and your injuries. Insurance companies are not on your side. They will do everything to deny or devalue your claim.
- There may be multiple liable parties. You won’t know unless there’s an investigation into your personal injury case.
- You have a limited time to file a personal injury lawsuit. You will lose out on money by hesitating or waiting too long to assert your rights.
- You don’t know what your case is worth and you don’t want to leave that calculation to the insurers.
