Frequently Asked Questions
What compensation am I entitled to for my injury?
The compensation you may be entitled to depends on the nature of your case. In a workers’ compensation case, benefits may include medical treatment, temporary or permanent disability payments, and vocational rehabilitation. In personal injury cases, you can seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to your injury. Doug Jaffe Law will evaluate your case to help you understand the full extent of your potential compensation.
How long do I have to file a claim?
The time limits for filing a claim vary depending on the type of case. Workers' Compensation Claims: In California, claims must generally be filed within 1 year, or 5 years if benefits have been provided. However, there are many exceptions, and in some cases, claims can be filed many years after the injury depending on the facts. It is essential to report the injury to your employer as soon as possible. Personal Injury Claims: You typically have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. If a public entity is involved, you must file a claim within 6 months of the injury. Since there are exceptions to these timelines, it is highly recommended to consult with an attorney as soon as possible for both workers' compensation and personal injury claims.
What should I do after a workplace or personal injury accident?
After an injury, your health and safety should be your first priority. Seek medical attention immediately. For workplace injuries, report the incident to your employer as soon as possible. For personal injury cases, document the scene, gather witness information, and take photos if possible. Then, contact Doug Jaffe Law to ensure your legal rights are protected from the start.
How much does it cost to hire your law firm?
At Doug Jaffe Law, we work on a contingency fee basis for personal injury and workers' compensation cases. This means you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we win your case. Our fees are a percentage of the compensation we recover for you, so there’s no financial risk to you in seeking legal representation

Sacramento's Trusted Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury Attorney
Workers' Compensation
Personal Injury
Catastrophic Injuries
Wrongful Death
Construction Accidents
Premises Liability
Toxic Exposure
In many cases, the challenges our clients face extend beyond traditional workers’ compensation and personal injury claims, encompassing more complex situations that require specialized legal expertise. At Doug Jaffe Law, we recognize that every case is unique, and we’re here to ensure no detail is overlooked in pursuing the justice you deserve.
Some of the cases we handle involve Catastrophic Injuries, life-altering events that demand a deep understanding of the law to secure the resources needed for long-term recovery.
In the tragic event of a Wrongful Death, we provide compassionate and determined representation to hold responsible parties accountable and seek closure for grieving families.
Construction Accidents, for example, often blend elements of workers’ compensation and personal injury law, requiring a nuanced approach to address the interplay of regulations and liability.
Similarly, Premises Liability cases involve injuries sustained due to unsafe property conditions, whether at a workplace, public area, or private residence.
Toxic Exposure cases, such as those involving hazardous substances in the workplace or elsewhere further underscore the critical importance of experienced legal representation to protect your health and future.
These types of cases are a natural extension of the core mission that drives us: advocating for individuals who have been injured or wronged. With our decades of experience and relentless commitment to our clients, we are prepared to tackle even the most challenging legal battles on your behalf. Let us guide you through every step of the journey with care, confidence, and unwavering dedication.
Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries like traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or severe burns, go far beyond the immediate medical issues. These life-changing events require extensive medical care and lots of money.
At Doug Jaffe Law, we will get you the compensation you need to rebuild your life. Navigating the legal complexities of Catastrophic Injury Cases involves understanding the intricacies of liability and causation. For example, the legal doctrine of novus actus interveniens (breaking the chain of causation) deals with how intervening events can break the link between negligence and harm. Knowing these legal subtleties is key to advocating for victims.
We will help you navigate this legal landscape, addressing your injuries' short, and long-term effects. We will get you the resources you need for your recovery and well-being, protect your rights, and get you justice.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is a tragedy. At Doug Jaffe Law, we offer compassionate and aggressive representation to families dealing with wrongful death cases. These cases are not just about money but about accountability and justice for your loss.
Wrongful death cases come from workplace accidents, vehicle accidents, or hazardous conditions caused by negligence. We know the emotional and financial toll from funeral costs to long-term loss of income and support. We aim to alleviate those burdens by getting you and your family the full compensation you deserve. With decades of experience in complex cases, we combine empathy with toughness to ensure your voice is heard and your loved one’s memory is respected. Doug Jaffe Law will be with you through this tough journey, providing clarity, strength, and unwavering support as you seek justice and healing.
Construction Accidents
Construction sites are dangerous, and accidents can cause life-changing injuries. At Doug Jaffe Law, we represent construction workers who have been injured on the job. These cases involve both workers’ compensation claims and complex third-party liability issues, which require thorough investigation and aggressive legal action.
Construction injuries can result from unsafe working conditions, defective equipment, or negligence by contractors or property owners. While workers’ compensation will cover medical bills and lost wages, it may not cover all damages. So, we also pursue third-party claims against contractors, manufacturers, or property owners.
With knowledge of construction site regulations and decades of experience, Doug Jaffe Law builds winning cases for our clients. Whether your injury came from a fall, equipment failure or another serious incident, we will get you the compensation you deserve so you can focus on healing and rebuilding your life.
Premises Liability
Property owners have a duty to keep their property safe for visitors. When they fail to do so, serious injuries can occur. At Doug Jaffe Law, we represent individuals injured due to dangerous property conditions, including slip-and-falls, negligent security, dog bites, and other preventable injuries.Premises liability cases require knowledge of property law and proof that the property owner’s negligence caused the injury. These cases involve complex legal issues, such as showing the property owner knew of the hazard and failed to fix it.We excel at overcoming these challenges, building winning cases to hold negligent property owners accountable. We are tough but personal. With Doug Jaffe Law on your side, you can be sure we will fight to get you the compensation you need for your recovery and future.
Toxic Exposure
Toxic exposure can have severe and long-lasting consequences, often resulting in health conditions that don’t manifest until years after exposure to hazardous substances. At Doug Jaffe Law, we represent individuals exposed to substances like asbestos, lead, or dangerous chemicals. These cases require not only legal expertise but also medical and scientific knowledge.
Toxic exposure occurs in workplaces, construction sites, or environments where safety regulations are ignored. Whether your case is a workers’ compensation claim or a personal injury lawsuit against negligent parties, we thoroughly investigate the circumstances to identify the liable entities, employers, manufacturers, or property owners.
We know the physical, emotional, and financial toll you are under, and we will get you compensation for medical treatment, lost wages, and long-term care. Doug Jaffe Law will protect your health and rights and be by your side so you can heal and move forward.

"Doug Jaffe is a man of faith, family, and country. As a client and now friend, I am proud and humbled to say a few words. To show that my words are real and true, I will include my personnel E mail address at the end. Doug Jaffe Law took on my work comp claim years ago. As I have been told, it was one of the most complicated cases to reach their desk in decades. My case involved multiple employers and no less than 43 major surgeries. Doug Jaffe simply became my voice in the court of non heard people like myself. There were times of desperation and depression, I admit. Mr. Jaffe always found a way to fight another day. It is against my better judgement to share that at one point in time, Mr. Jaffe opened his own wallet and sent me money so I could get my monthly bills paid. I believe there is a minimum of 43 surgeries for this unfound privilege. It is my honor to recommend Doug Jaffe Law to anyone who has a fight to be fought....You can reach me at [email protected].....Please topic; about doug jaffe. I check my mail twice a month and will return any mail."
