I live in Norco, CA. I'm not sure if I need a worker's comp. or wrongful termination attorney. Does anyone know of a good one?

Worker's compensation and wrongful termination are entirely different causes of action. If you don't know the difference, then you should go to your local legal aid clinic, most counties have one, and talk to them about your situation. They can steer you in the right direction. If you got injured on the job, then you need worker's comp. If the employer fired you because you got injured, then you have wrongful termination. The empoyer has to wait to see if you can recover sufficiently to resume your job. If you can't go back to your original job, then the employer is supposed to find another position that will suit your new limitations. If there is no job that will accomodate your limitations, then he can let you go. Your worker's comp program should then give you retraining so that you can find new employment.

They are 2 separate things. A comp attorney will usually get you a better deal. Wrongful termination? consuilt an atty who specializes and they will either take the case of charge you zero.

Call the government agency by getting their number over the internet. Usually you will not require an attorney!!

All attorneys are rotten. Lawyers are legal crooks, period.
But, if you need one you need one. Check around and ask some people and maybe you can find a decent one out there somewhere.
Good Luck trying to find an honest one. Make sure you read the fine print before you sign anything.

Phone the California Bar Association and they will be able to put you in touch with a good one.

Which was it? Were you injured then fired? Or just fired? Contact you local dept. of employment office to find the laws for you state regarding those and other work related issues.
