The Workers’ Compensation Division is responsible for defending the City of Los Angeles in industrial injury claims litigated before the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board. Attorneys in the Workers’ Compensation Division represent the City of Los Angeles in workers’ compensation cases filed by City employees.

Pre-trial discovery and appellate processes often accompany these cases.

A minimum of four (4) years of experience practicing in California workers' compensation law;
