Workers Compensation Attorney

Over his career, Mr. Vaughn has brought many cases to successful completion where the issues were difficult and complex. In 2010, he took over a four year old denied case where the claim was filed more than 16 months after the injury occurred. The case was eventually settled for more than $300,000.00.

• In the last two years, the firm has represented three clients where the defendant was seeking credit of $100,000.00 to $200,000.00 for overpayments of temporary disability. In all three cases, these claims were either entirely dropped or were denied by the court, after trial.
• In the last month, our firm settled a case for $278,000.00, where the original offer by the defendant was $20,000.00.
• In a more recent trial before the San Diego Workers Compensation Appeals Board, Mr. Langenderfer secured a trial award providing the client with a large disability award, including a lifetime pension after a serious work injury.  The Workers’ Compensation trials require substantial preparation and effort. We prepare each case as if trial will be necessary. This is our reputation and our philosophy, and we believe that it helps to encourage fair and adequate offers of settlement.
