Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

need advice

hello , my question is,

i broke my foot at a job about 2 monthes ago, i reported it right away filed a claim, but it took 7 weeks for them to make it go through, at the time of my injury i was making about $1080 a week, at 27 an hour, but when they sent me the workers comp check, it was based off $ 405 dollars a week, and i get 270 a week out of it,

somone told me they go back one year to date, and last year my my worst year in construction i was on unemployment, ( making $ 450 a week the max) i was wondering if it would be worth my while to get a lawyer, to get what i feel i should be getting, because if i was not injured, i would have kept working there and i had other places i was going to work

thank you
