Gerald Porter

Gerald Porter works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. If your case is successful, the attorney's fee is a percentage of your settlement or award — typically 15–25% in California. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Gerald Porter handles all types of workers' compensation cases in California, including Employer Retaliation, Third Party Claims, Permanent Disability, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.

In California, you generally must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a formal claim within 1–2 years of the injury date. These deadlines are strict — missing them can cost you your benefits. Contact Gerald immediately after any workplace injury.

Yes — claim denials are one of Gerald Porter's specialties. Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims hoping workers won't fight back. With 5 years of experience in California workers' comp law, Gerald knows exactly how to appeal denials and fight for the benefits you're entitled to.

Gerald Porter primarily serves clients in Santa Ana and the surrounding California area, but handles cases throughout the state. If you're in California and were injured at work, contact Gerald's office for a free consultation regardless of your location.
