Beverly Hills workers' compensation and injury claims: quick answers
- Where your workers' comp case is heard
- Workers' compensation claims from Beverly Hills are heard at the WCAB Marina del Rey district office, 4720 Lincoln Blvd, 2nd floor, Marina del Rey, CA 90292. Nordanyan Law files and appears there on your behalf, so you do not need to go.
- Deadline to report a work injury
- In California you must report a work injury to your employer within 30 days, and file a workers' compensation claim within one year of the injury (Labor Code § 5400 and § 5405). Missing the 30-day report can cost you benefits, so report it even if you are unsure how badly you are hurt.
- Deadline to file an injury lawsuit
- A California personal injury lawsuit must generally be filed within two years of the injury (Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1). A claim against a city, county, or state agency must be presented within six months (Government Code § 911.2), which is the deadline people miss most often.
- What it costs
- Nothing upfront. Nordanyan Law handles Beverly Hills personal injury cases on contingency, and the workers' compensation fee is paid out of the recovery only if the case succeeds. The consultation is free.
- Languages
- Nordanyan Law handles cases in English, Spanish, and Armenian, with attorneys and staff who speak all three — not an interpreter line.
- Do you have to come in
- No. Nordanyan Law handles the consultation, document signing, and the entire Beverly Hills case by phone, text, email, and video. The firm's only office is in Van Nuys, and most clients never visit it.
Serving Injured Beverly Hills Workers & Accident Victims
Beverly Hills sits between the 405 and the 10, with heavily-traveled surface arterials — Wilshire, Santa Monica, and Sunset Boulevards — cutting through dense retail, hospitality, and professional-services districts. Its walkable luxury-retail core also means a high volume of pedestrian traffic.
Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards see frequent vehicle and pedestrian collisions, and the nearby 405 adds high-speed freeway crashes to the mix. The business triangle around Rodeo Drive concentrates the problem: valet operations pulling into traffic, delivery vehicles double-parked, visitors unfamiliar with the streets, and dense foot traffic crossing mid-block. With Cedars-Sinai Medical Center right at the city's edge, serious injuries get top-tier care — and we make sure the at-fault party's insurance pays for it rather than your own health plan quietly absorbing it. We handle high-value injury claims with the seriousness they demand.
Beverly Hills employs far more people than live in it, and almost all of that work is service and professional rather than industrial. Luxury retail along Rodeo and Beverly Drive, hotels and restaurants, entertainment and talent agencies, medical and dental practices, and financial and legal firms make up the bulk of it. The injuries follow accordingly: retail and hospitality staff on their feet all shift with back, knee, and shoulder claims, stockroom and delivery lifting injuries, slips on polished floors and in kitchens, and repetitive strain among office and administrative staff. Domestic and household staff working in Beverly Hills homes are also covered by California workers' compensation more often than either they or their employers realise — residential employers are frequently required to carry it, and a household worker injured on the job usually has a claim.
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center sits immediately at the edge of Beverly Hills and takes most seriously injured people from the city, with UCLA nearby to the west. Request your emergency department records from the first visit and keep them: they tie your injuries to the accident date, which is the point an insurer will attack hardest in a high-value claim. In a workers' compensation claim your employer's insurer generally directs your treating physician for the first 30 days through its Medical Provider Network. You can name your own doctor in advance by predesignating them in writing before an injury, and you can request a change after 30 days.
Which Workers' Comp Board Hears a Beverly Hills Claim
California assigns workers' compensation cases to a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board district office based on the ZIP code where the injury happened. For Beverly Hills, that is the WCAB Marina del Rey district office.
WCAB Marina del Rey
4720 Lincoln Blvd, 2nd floor
Marina del Rey, CA 90292
(310) 482-3820
You almost certainly will not go there. Nordanyan Law files the paperwork, appears at hearings and conferences, and handles depositions on your behalf. Most Beverly Hills clients resolve an entire workers' compensation case without ever setting foot in a board office. Office assignments can change, so if you want to confirm yours, the state publishes a ZIP lookup at dir.ca.gov — or call us and we will check it for you.
What To Do in the First 48 Hours in Beverly Hills
- 1
Get examined the same day, even at a high-end clinic that will bill your own insurance. Delay is what lets an adjuster argue something else caused your injury, and in a case with real value that argument is worth a great deal of money to them.
- 2
If you were hurt at work — including as household or domestic staff in a private residence — report it to your employer in writing and ask for a DWC-1 claim form. California allows 30 days under Labor Code § 5400, and this applies to household employment, not only to businesses.
- 3
If you were struck as a pedestrian, get the police report. Beverly Hills PD covers city streets including Wilshire, Santa Monica, Rodeo, and Canon; the CHP handles the 405. Beverly Hills has dense private and municipal camera coverage, but footage is routinely overwritten within days, so a preservation request needs to go out quickly.
- 4
In a valet or parking incident, identify the valet operator by name — it is usually a contractor, not the hotel or restaurant itself, and it carries its own policy. That distinction decides which insurer is on the hook.
- 5
Photograph everything and decline to give a recorded statement to the other side's insurer until you have spoken to a lawyer. In higher-value claims those calls come quickly and are made specifically to lock in a version of events before you have advice.

Beverly Hills Frequently Asked Questions
I was hit by a car as a pedestrian in Beverly Hills. Do I have a case?
Very likely. Pedestrian-versus-vehicle cases produce serious injuries and significant damages, and California law strongly protects pedestrians' right of way. Beverly Hills' busy retail corridors — Rodeo Drive, Wilshire, and Santa Monica Boulevard — see frequent pedestrian collisions. We pursue the driver's policy, and where it's inadequate, any available underinsured-motorist coverage.
Do you handle high-value injury claims?
Yes. Catastrophic and high-value injury claims require careful documentation — life-care plans, economic loss analysis, and coordination with treating specialists. With over $150 million recovered, we have the experience and resources to build and litigate serious claims rather than accept a quick lowball settlement.
What does it cost to hire Nordanyan Law for a Beverly Hills injury case?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency for personal injury and accident cases — our fee comes only from what we recover for you. If we don't win, you pay nothing. The initial consultation is always free.
Which workers' compensation board hears a Beverly Hills claim?
Beverly Hills workers' compensation claims are heard at the WCAB Marina del Rey district office at 4720 Lincoln Blvd, 2nd floor, Marina del Rey, CA 90292 — not the downtown Los Angeles board, which is what most people assume. California assigns the venue by the ZIP code where the injury happened. Nordanyan Law files and appears there on your behalf, so you do not need to travel to Marina del Rey for your own case.
I work in a Beverly Hills home as domestic or household staff. Am I covered?
Very likely yes, and this is widely misunderstood on both sides. California workers' compensation generally covers household employees — housekeepers, nannies, caregivers, gardeners, and drivers — once they work more than a limited number of hours for a residential employer, and homeowners' insurance policies frequently include the required coverage. You do not need a written contract, and being paid in cash does not remove your right to benefits. If you were hurt working in a private home in Beverly Hills, it is worth a free consultation before you assume you have no claim.
