What We Do
A Law Firm Dedicated To Advocating For People
Chula Vista Workers’ Compensation Attorneys
Comprehensive Legal Representation in Workers’ Compensation, Personal Injury, Bankruptcy, Estate Planning & Employment Law
At The Sexton Law Firm, we provide focused, strategic representation across multiple practice areas that directly impact your health, livelihood, and financial future. While a significant portion of our work centers on protecting injured workers through California’s workers’ compensation system, we also represent individuals and families facing serious injury claims, financial hardship, employment disputes, and long-term planning decisions.
Legal problems are rarely isolated. A workplace injury can lead to lost income and debt concerns. A serious accident can affect your ability to work and your estate plans. Employment disputes can overlap with financial strain. Our firm understands how these issues connect — and we approach every case with that broader perspective in mind.
Whether you need help filing a workers’ compensation claim, pursuing a personal injury case, restructuring debt through bankruptcy, protecting your family through estate planning, or addressing workplace-related legal matters, our team is prepared to guide you with clarity, experience, and practical solutions tailored to your situation.
If you’ve been injured on the job in Chula Vista, speak with an attorney who understands your rights and is prepared to protect them. Call The Sexton Law Firm today at (619) 202-8976 or contact us online to schedule a consultation. Se habla español.

Our Workers’ Compensation Services
Workers’ compensation is not always straightforward — especially when benefits are delayed, denied, or disputed. We help with:
- What To Do After a Work Accident: Clear guidance on reporting deadlines, required claim forms, medical treatment steps, and the immediate actions you should take to protect your right to benefits after a workplace injury.
- Denied Claims: Strategic support if your claim has been denied, delayed, or undervalued. We review the reasoning, gather additional evidence, and fight to overturn improper decisions.
- Appeals Process: Representation through hearings and appeals when insurance carriers dispute eligibility, disability ratings, or medical treatment recommendations.
- Returning To Work After an Injury: Assistance in navigating work restrictions, modified duty assignments, and employer compliance so your health and benefits remain protected during your transition back to work.
- Workers’ Compensation Q&A: Answers to common questions about temporary disability, permanent disability, medical benefits, wage replacement, timelines, and what to expect at each stage of the claim.
- Other Benefits & Workers’ Comp: Guidance on additional benefits that may apply depending on your situation, including supplemental job displacement benefits, retraining-related options, and other available compensation under California law.
Additional Practice Areas
Many clients come to us facing more than one legal issue at the same time. In addition to workers’ comp, we also help with:
- Personal Injury: Claims involving car accidents, truck accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, and other negligence-related injuries.
- Bankruptcy: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 guidance to help reduce debt pressure, stop collection actions, and regain financial stability.
- Estate Planning: Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and estate planning tools designed to protect your assets and your family’s future.
- Employment Law: Support for workplace-related legal concerns, including wrongful termination matters and other employment disputes.
If you’re not sure which area applies to your situation, we’ll help you understand your options and what the best next step looks like.

Through this very difficult period in my life, I reached out to the Legal Aid Society and they assigned a Lawyer to assist me in filing for bankruptcy protection. Andrew Sexton took the time to speak with me on the phone, he walked me through the process with detailed emails explaining what I needed to do in order to make the process go smoothly. He allowed me to vent, responded accordingly, and return my text message as if we were friends. Everything was conducted electronically, and on the phone, we never met in person…. Amazing. I highly recommend this firm with handling your financial issues regarding Bankruptcy. Thanks, Mr. Sexton for your professionalism and your due diligence in regard to my case- Brian Powell

I was in a car accident back in July and got rear-ended because some guy was rushing on his way to work, you would think the guy would want to save more time by not filling out a police report and dealing with lawyer stuff but I guess not. I went on Google and found the Sexton Law Firm. From the very beginning, they were professional and very efficient in dealing with my case. I had the pleasure of meeting the head honcho, James Sexton. He was very personable and reassuring in taking care of my case. My case was dealt within one year, he even helped me get the medical assistance I needed. The entire time the law firm sent out ongoing emails giving me updates and letting me know how long I would have to wait for a response from the other party.- Jen Miller
Everything worked out perfectly, In the event that I am ever in another accident, I would definitely hire this firm again to handle it. Do I recommend them? Yes I do! -

I was referred to Mr. Andrew Sexton at a time of great need, confusion, and embarrassment.
