Posted by Janel | April 22, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Workers Compensation

Mrs

My name is Janel. I worked for Vision Home Health Care as a health worker. I gave 100% of my effort, particularly during this pandemic. One day I was driving for the company. I met with an accident and was T-boned. I was in the commission of my work. My employer just looked the other way and did not ...help me. On top of it, they fired me. I got no help and ended up with a mountain of medical bills and a totaled car. I couldn't even find an attorney to take my case. I was referred to RP Law Group by my personal injury attorney, Mr. Preston. After he informed me that there was nothing he could do for me related to my workers' compensation claim. After doing my consultation with paralegal Betty Fuentes I was accepted to have my claim reviewed to be able to address my concerns with my previous employer. I received a phone call from Attorney Raj Patel sharing with me that my previous employer did not have any workers' compensation coverage and that I would need to pursue other avenues. But because of the kindness of his heart, he was willing to help me due to my predicament. After receiving that statement I was eternally grateful knowing that someone was going to fight for me. He gave me instructions to follow and I followed each of them. He did everything that he could in dealing with the deceitfulness of my employer. And he used his expertise and skills in being able to require my previous employer to respond to my workers' compensation claim even though they didn't have an insurer. After getting a response from the defense attorney of my previous employer he did everything he could to advocate that justice be served based on my predicament. I appreciate him making a decision to go out of his way to help me and have a settlement accepted that is what is deserved in spite of multiple rebuttals, refusals, and denials from the defense attorney.

Don't let you lack of knowledge on labor laws stop you from getting Justice.

My mother had sustained cumulative trauma from a factory she had been working for 20 years. With less than a high school education, she was not aware of labor laws with workers comp, and rights workers entitled to in California. So it came as a complete shock when her employer terminated with nothing... to show for 20 years of loyalty, other than poor health from a factory job and no income during a pandamic. As her son, with some background in HR, I scoured the internet and the phone book looking for a lawyer that is reputable and trustworthy to fight for those that truly need it. It was after much search and comparison that I came across RP LAW GROUP. Raj Patel not only helped educate my mother an I about California labor laws and rights we have but was very patient and sympathetic to our situation. Since I do not live in Corona, and was unable to translate for my mother, but Raj Patel was kind enough to find translators on my behalf so my mother stayed in the loop. We were blessed to find such an efficient Attorney because he did not waste our time. He gave us the facts, and was able to follow through with not only helping us with our wrongful term case, but also connecting us to any other parties(worker's comp) that may assist us further. It was only today I was informed that my mother would be able to get a settlement, and I wanted to make sure credit was given where it is due. The message I like to convey to anyone reading this review is if you or a loved one find themselves in a situation where you are wronged by an employer, through no fault of your own, don't let your lack of knowledge of labor laws get in the way of you finding justice. Seek out Raj Patel at RP LAW Group and get educated on your rights.

Workers comp from hell

This man raj is the real deal. No joke, I moved here from Chicago and every state has different laws. The laws suck here in Cali for workers. Raj though gives it to you straight. He’s always up for a fight and for the employee. He’s not in this business to make friends. He’s in it to make sure ...you get paid. Doesn’t sugarcoat stuff at all. He’s not just an attorney he cares about your case and cares about you. Thank you Raj.

Michael Proctor: Client.

Raj, Patel, Was a patient and diligent Attorney for my case , Representing me, with the utmost detail and compassion for my best interest. Mr. Patel also has a respected relationship with Riverside courts and attorneys throughout the county, and always made himself or his staff available to me... whenever i had questions and concerns. By the close of my case, not only was he a stellar Attorney, he also became a trusted friend. Once again, i was lucky to have him represent me, and I Thank RPLawGroup for being my sheild in that battle.
