Beyond your contract: legal, educational, and institutional resources.

If you've been injured at work or in an accident, California law gives you the right to legal representation. Local 848 members have access to several attorneys who specialize in workers' compensation, personal injury, and Social Security disability cases. Below are firms that have established relationships with Teamster members.

Important: Local 848 does not endorse any single attorney or firm. The decision about who represents you is yours alone. All attorneys listed below offer free initial consultations and work on contingency (no fee unless they win your case).

Before you call any attorney

• Report the injury to your employer in writing as soon as possible
• If your employer offers group health insurance and you've predesignated your physician, see your doctor first
• Keep copies of every medical record, claim form, and piece of correspondence
• Note the names of witnesses and the exact circumstances of the injury

Questions about which attorney to choose, or about your rights under your union contract? Contact your business agent.

An informed member is a stronger member. Local 848 supports member education through steward training, organizing skills, and Teamster history.
