Thank you for selecting the Law Offices of Steven M. Birnbaum.
We have been representing injured workers since 1982. We represent only injured
workers and restrict our cases to those involving injuries covered by the
Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act and its associated
Federal compensation statutes.
We also handle cases covered by
the Non-Appropriated
Instrumentalities Act and Defense
Base Act.
We try many cases each year and
have participated in mediations which brought substantial settlements to our
clients. We enjoy an excellent reputation nationwide for competence and ethical
behavior. Our rating is “AV” by the nationally recognized rating service of
Martindale-Hubble, the highest rating any firm can receive.
Our main office location is in
San Rafael, but we also handle cases in other parts of the country. We are
selective when choosing cases we can handle. Although we want to help all
injured workers, it is impossible to represent everyone who requests our
assistance — If we maintain an excessive caseload, we cannot give all cases the
attention that they require. However, if we cannot help you, we can recommend
our contacts nationwide who are qualified attorneys.
Give us a call.

COMMONLY
OVERLOOKED
Hearing
Loss: You may be missing out on benefits and permanent disability
payments if you do not make a claim for hearing loss. Exposure to loud noise in
the workplace through time may actually have damaged your hearing. If you have
suffered such a loss you are entitled to workers compensation benefits. Call
now for information about how to protect your rights.
Carpal
Tunnel: If you have numbness in your hands tingling and feelings of cold,
give us a call — we may be able to help.
Cumulative
Trauma: This is an injury that occurs to a part of the body that is
repetively used, and also exposure to toxic substances. Give us a call for
further information or fill out our Intake Form below.
