California Professional Sports Workers Compensation Injury Lawyers
At Berman More Gonzalez, our highly respected personal injury and workers' compensation attorneys understand the immense physical strains that professional athletes endure on a daily basis. The collisions, impacts and hits an NFL or NHL player may have endured over even a single season are like nothing that most people experience in a year, a decade or a lifetime.
If you as a former NFL, NBA, NHL, or MLB player have been struggling with long-term injury, disability or pain from playing a professional sport, you may be owed substantial compensation and medical treatment. State and federal governments recognize the mistreatment of former professional sports figures and are taking action to make sure you now have a fair right to the compensation you are owed for the injuries you suffered. In California, our Santa Ana sports injury attorney Keith More fights to get professional athletes the money they are owed.
Even if the National Football League team you played for was based in another state, if you played even one minute of professional sports in California, potentially years or decades ago, you may now be owed substantial compensation. Our very own attorney was consulted by a member of the Congressional Committee on the effects of concussions and head trauma on football players.
Helping Professional Athletes Get Relief Years and Decades Later
Professional leagues such as the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL have long been negligent in their commitment to the long-term safety and health of players, and as a result current and former players face serious long-term health issues stemming from injuries to the head, back, joints or bones. Like any other employee, as a professional athlete you have and had the right to expect that your employer puts your safety, health and long-term well being first.
Our attorneys are experienced at working with the needs of professional athletes, current and former. We can represent athletes who played injured in California sports such as:
| Football | Basketball |
| Hockey | Soccer |
| Boxing | Wrestling |
| Baseball |
While there is a statute of limitation on most workers' compensation claims, that statute may not apply if as a player on a professional team you were not given appropriate and adequate information about your rights or a claim form when you were injured. Do not wait a moment longer to get the legal advice you need.
The long-term effects of concussions have become a major issue over the years for former professional athletes. Even if you played just one minute of professional sports in the state of California, you have the right to file a workers' compensation claim to deal with the damages associated with your injuries, and if you weren't given a claims form at the time, then you may be able to file now, even 10 or 25 years after the original injury.
