Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Re: Injuries

If by injuries you mean your claim for wages, you can demand the employer to pay wages going back three years, if you add a violation of Business and Professions Code Sec. 17200 claim, you can add one more year. For example, if you file your claim today 10/08 you can go back to 10/05 to the present and with a 17200 claim you can go back to 10/04 to the present. For penalties you can go back only one year, although, there are some arguments to seek upto three years.

Re: Injuries

If you have work-related physical injuries, then generally you have to file a worker's compensation claim within one year after your injuries. However, there are many exceptions to the rules and we had cases going back to five years. Call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
