Walter Woods

Walter Woods 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.

Walter Woods handles all types of workers' compensation cases in California, including Workplace Injuries, Medical Benefits, Lost Wages, 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 Walter immediately after any workplace injury.
