Los Angeles workers' compensation and injury claims: quick answers
- Where your workers' comp case is heard
- Los Angeles spans more than one venue. Depending on the ZIP code where you were injured, your claim is heard at the WCAB Los Angeles, Marina del Rey, Long Beach district office. Nordanyan Law appears at all of them for you.
- 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles case by phone, text, email, and video. The firm's only office is in Van Nuys, and most clients never visit it.
Serving Injured Los Angeles Workers & Accident Victims
Los Angeles is the largest, most congested city in California, and that density shows up in our caseload. The 101, 110, 405, 10, and 5 freeways generate some of the highest crash rates in the state, while the city's construction boom, entertainment industry, warehousing, and hospitality sectors produce thousands of serious workplace injuries every year.
LA's worst accident corridors — the 405 through the Sepulveda Pass, the 101 interchange, and surface arterials like Figueroa, Vermont, and Sunset — send injured drivers, motorcyclists, and pedestrians to trauma centers like LAC+USC Medical Center and Cedars-Sinai every day. We handle the medical liens, the at-fault driver's insurer, and the underinsured-motorist claim so you can focus on recovery.
Which Workers' Comp Board Hears a Los Angeles Claim
California assigns workers' compensation cases to a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board district office based on the ZIP code where the injury happened. Los Angeles is large enough to span 3 of them, so which one hears your case depends on where you were hurt.

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.

Los Angeles Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to come to your office in person if I live in Los Angeles?
No. We handle the entire process — free consultation, document signing, and case updates — by phone, text, email, and video. Most Los Angeles clients never need to visit in person, though our Van Nuys headquarters is a short drive up the 405 or 101 if you prefer to meet face to face.
How much is my Los Angeles car accident case worth?
It depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical bills, lost wages, and the at-fault driver's insurance limits. Los Angeles soft-tissue cases often settle between $15,000 and $75,000; cases requiring surgery typically range from $100,000 to $500,000+; and catastrophic injuries frequently reach seven figures. We pursue every available coverage layer, including underinsured-motorist coverage, which matters in LA where many drivers carry only minimum policies.
Which workers' compensation court handles Los Angeles claims?
It depends on the ZIP code where you were injured, because Los Angeles is large enough to span three district offices. Most of the city is served by the WCAB Los Angeles district office at 320 W. 4th Street, 9th floor, downtown. Westside ZIP codes are served by WCAB Marina del Rey at 4720 Lincoln Blvd, and San Pedro and the harbor area by WCAB Long Beach at 1500 Hughes Way. You can confirm yours with the state's ZIP lookup at dir.ca.gov, or just call us and we will tell you. We file and appear at all three, so you do not have to go to any of them.
