Eric M. Overholt

I fight aggressively for my clients while being compassionate for their needs. I have been working in the areas of Workers' Compensation, Product Defect and Persona Injury for many years. I have experience with all types of wage claims, accidents and product defects.

Sometimes, these cases lend themselves to Class Actions. I have been approved as Class Counsel on numerous class actions, both State and Federal. I have also been named to the Executive Committee for Multi-District Litigation on a nationwide class action.

I also have a significant amount of experience in the Workers' Compensation arena, having represented hundreds of clients. I have done multiple trials and I have won several Petitions for Reconsideration to obtain benefits for my clients. In all, I have been a part of several cases that have meant as much as seven figures for severely injured clients.

I am the President Chapter for the California Applicants' Attorneys Association. I put on seminars all over the County to educate injured workers about their rights. I am also tasked with providing continuing legal education to other attorneys to ensure that they are also fairly representing the injured. I also go to the State Capitol in Sacramento to lobby legislators to make changes to the Workers' Compensation system so that injured workers can get fair access to treatment, monetary benefits and job retraining.
