Your Trusted Partner for California Workers’ Compensation Defense




PASSIONATE


PURPOSEFUL


PERSONALIZED


PARTNERSHIP

AV Preeminent®-rated firm, industry-recognized for quality and experience

Workers’ compensation defense isn’t just something we do. It’s all we do.

Our experience, expertise, and reliability have earned our clients’ trust
as a true partner committed to working hand-in-hand to protect, defend, and
continuously uplevel their business.

Call on TK Law for principled representation relating to:

Workers’ Compensation

Our principals lead from the front, not the top, actively practicing Workers’
Compensation from the trenches alongside our team. Decades of experience –
coupled with daily immersion in the complex and fluid landscape of California
Workers’ Compensation defense – give us the context and perspective that let us
rapidly assimilate the changes and use them to inform our approach.

CA Labor Code Section 132a

Section 132a petitions allege discrimination as a result of filing or reporting
a work-related injury. If successful, these claims expose employers to penalties
as well as mandatory rehiring with payment of retroactive wages – none of which
are covered by the employer’s Workers Compensation insurance. With well over
half a century of combined experience in defending these often meritless claims,
TK Law’s aggressive resolution of Section 132a allegations is unparalleled.

CA Labor Code Section 4553

Employee claims under Section 4553 alleging serious and willful misconduct on
the part of the employer are uninsurable in California. If successful, all
benefits paid or payable are increased by 50%. These claims are becoming more
frequent in an attempt to artificially inflate the value of an applicant’s case.
Defending against these claims requires knowledge of tort law beyond the realm
of typical workers’ compensation issues. With their expertise and reputation
successfully defending and resolving countless such claims before the Workers’
Compensation Appeals Board, TK Law’s Certified Specialists are experienced in
the aggressive representation of these allegations.

Appellate Representation

When it comes to appellate representation, a deep understanding of the complex
laws and regulations surrounding workers’ compensation and appellate law is
crucial for success. Our team is composed of effective and experienced attorneys
who are highly proficient in written and oral advocacy as well as analytical
research skills. They are at the top of their field in advancing appellate
representation for our clients and have practical experience in filing Petitions
for Removal and Reconsideration at the WCAB level through Writs of Review before
the District Court of Appeals as well as the California Supreme Court. Appellate
cases are reviewed and vetted by the Appellate Committee in order to
appropriately advise our clients of the potential success and ramifications of
an appeal given the circumstances in the case. Having provided appellate
representation at all levels including the California Supreme Court, our
appellate team has the practical experience of what is needed in the form of
persuasive argument and appellate law to build a track record of success our
clients can rely on.

Public Entity Claims

TK is proud to provide representation in Public Entity and Safety Officer cases
for cities, counties, and schools districts. TK also specializes in CalPERS
Industrial Disability Retirement  representation, including related Petitions
for Writ of Mandate. Our public entity team possesses the experience needed to
defend these clams, including the specialized knowledge required in defending
Safety Officer claims and presumptive injuries. Our attorneys have provided
aggressive representation for numerous public agencies in San Diego, Riverside,
San Bernardino, Orange, Los Angeles, Kern, and Ventura counties — including the
unincorporated areas of counties themselves — for over three decades. As a
result, we have the skill and knowledge to navigate the political and diplomatic
considerations that are not infrequently involved in these cases, as well as the
complex landscape of laws and regulations in the Labor, Government, and
Education Codes that govern work injuries specific to public agency claims.

Training

As a CLE provider, TK Law is privileged to provide both in-person and remote
tailored educational training for employers, insurers, and third party
administrators on both workers’ compensation and safety program topics. We take
pride in providing the latest industry trends, as well as caselaw and regulatory
updates to assist in proactive case handling and cost control.


OUR VALUES

With over half a century of combined leadership knowledge, there are a few
things we have figured out… about ourselves and about the kinds of people we
work best with.


WE BELIEVE:

True collaboration together with expertise and experience form the ingredients
to bring about the right result on a case-by-case basis. This is the power of a
true partnership and is at the heart of our mission.

Every dollar an employer spends on training, program development, and education
around injury and fraud prevention is an investment with nearly infinite
returns. The best claim is the one that never happens in the first place.

Our passion is not only our strength, but our superpower. Our passion fuels
shared enthusiasm which inspires creativity and innovation and creates a synergy
that leads to extraordinary results. This is what sets us apart from the rest.

While there will be similarities, every case is unique and deserves to be
handled as such. We provide a thoughtful, deliberate, and strategic litigation
plan that proceeds from the facts of each case – with no predetermined
flowchart, rubber-stamping, or box-checking.

Every client and every case deserves prompt, complete, and transparent
communication. Consistent availability to answer questions, provide updates, and
address concerns is a must. Our commitment to consistent and effective
communication is unrivaled.

Every engagement is an opportunity to work hand-in-hand toward the shared
purpose of making your business better. A successful partnership is built on
trust, mutual respect, and shared goals. We are proud to be a trusted partner to
our clients, and we are committed to delivering exceptional results.

If our values ring true for you, we’d welcome a conversation.
