I went through this.
I had to build a system
to survive it.

I built WorkAid after going through my own California workers' compensation claim.

My case lasted more than a year. It involved multiple injuries, disputed wages, delayed payments, medical records, hearings, treatment issues, and months of trying to understand what was happening while I was still in pain.

The system is not built for the worker. It produces a constant flow of documents, deadlines, phone calls, and decisions — each one requiring attention — and provides no central place to understand any of it.

During that process, I built a system for myself: tracking payments period by period, organizing documents by type, logging every call, watching deadlines, comparing wage information against what was actually being paid, and keeping a written record of what happened. A claim file I could actually read and reference.

That system became WorkAid.

Now I'm testing it with the people it was made for.

This first version is being built with injured workers who are currently inside the system — not people who went through it years ago, and not people with law degrees. The goal is to learn from real claims, real confusion, and real gaps, and to build something that genuinely helps.

WorkAid does not replace an attorney and does not provide legal advice. It is here to help you keep your claim file organized, understand your own records more clearly, and prepare better questions.

I went through it. I built my way through it. Now I'm building WorkAid so others have a better place to start.
