Welcome

Law Offices of Brent McAfee Thompson,
A Professional Corporation

Since 1975 we have been successfully representing clients on Workers' Compensation cases and Serious Personal Injuries. We are members of the million dollar advocates forum, a society limited to attorneys' who have secured civil jury verdicts in excess of one million dollars. We are members of the California Applicants Attorneys' Association.

Our firm handles Spinal Cord Injuries, Traumatic Brain Injuries, and Construction accidents. We handle all types of work place accidents and injuries.

Our firm is dedicated to providing the best service possible for our clients. Our commitment is to put the client's best interests first and foremost. We always strive to achieve the best legal result for our clients consistent with the highest standards of legal excellence.

We limit our practice to Workers' Compensation Injuries, Serious Personal Injuries and Social Security Disability cases. Over the past 30 years we have handled thousands of cases, many involving serious injuries.

If you have suffered an injury, you are probably worried about financial concerns, future employability issues and securing adequate and complete compensation for your disability.

If you have suffered an injury at work, you are or may be entitled to the following benefits:

• Temporary Disability Benefits


• Medical treatment


• Educational Training Voucher


• Permanent Disability Benefits


• Reimbursement for reasonably necessary out-of-pocket expenses and Mileage


• Dependant Death Benefits

The Workers' Compensation Laws in California have recently been changed to benefit the insurance companies. You need expert legal help to adequately and fairly resolve your claim as soon as reasonably possible. Do not rely on the insurance company or their representatives. Their primary purpose is to generate profits for their shareholders.

If you have suffered an injury at work or a personal injury, the amount of money you receive for a disabling injury can vary substantially depending on a successful prosecution of your case. Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury cases are technical, have various time deadlines and require expertise to achieve a successful and adequate resolution.

You need a law firm with the proven experience, confidence and aggressive approach to successfully protect your interests.

Remember, all our fees are contingent in nature. No recovery/no fee owed.

On the job injuries can occur as a result of a specific injury and also as a result of a cumulative trauma injury. An example of a specific injury would be a slip and fall where the person injures their back. A cumulative injury is an injury that is caused as a result of the repetitive stress and strains of repetitive job duties over a long period of time.

Frequently, the insurance company will deny injury claims in an effort to convince the injured worker that his/her claim lacks merit. Don't be fooled. Contact us regarding your potential injury/injuries.

During the past 34 years, we have also handled thousands of personal injury cases involving auto accidents, trucking accidents, motorcycle accidents, construction accidents, third party work place accidents, dog bites and slip and fall injuries.

We are here to serve you.

Please remember that both work related injuries and personal injuries have statutes of limitations. This means that your claim or lawsuit must be filed within a certain period of time, or the claim will be barred. If the claim is against a governmental entity, there is a six-month claim statute which must be satisfied.

It is imperative that you contact the attorney of your choice for advice regarding the statute of limitations at the earliest possible opportunity. Your failure to take action promptly may result in your claim being denied based on the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations involved will vary depending on the circumstances of your particular claim.

The information provided hereinabove is not to be received or understood as legal advice. No attorney/client relationship exists with this office until you have signed a Retainer Agreement or an engagement letter.

If you are serious in pursuing your injury matter, retain counsel without delay. If you fail to strictly observe the time limitations applicable to your particular situation, you are likely to lose your rights to proceed FOREVER.
