The California Applicants' Attorneys Association (CAAA) is a dynamic statewide organization dedicated to the protection of rights and benefits of California's injured and disabled workers and their families.

CAAA's members are highly skilled advocates whose long years of education, concentrated training and practical experience give them the knowledge and understanding to assist the industrially injured worker through the legal, medical and governmental complexities of California's Workers' Compensation System.

Many of CAAA's attorney members are certified as specialists by the California State Bar. Armed with their expertise in the statutory scheme of workers' compensation laws, CAAA members work to secure full and just benefits for the injured and disabled worker and their families. The specified knowledge and skill is unmatched by any other organization, group or body of individuals in the State of California.

CAAA's membership is two-tiered made up of Regular Members and Associate Members.

Organization Design

CAAA’s Board of Governors establishes the policies and procedures for the Association. Consisting of the organization’s officers, Members-at-Large, Past Presidents, Committee Chairs and Chapter Presidents, the Board encourages the widest possible participation and communication from all members of CAAA.

The more than twenty working committees of the Board assist in the efficient management of CAAA. They cover areas including: Amicus Curiae, Consumer Information Service, DIR, Education, Ethics, Health & Safety, IMC, Labor, Latino Issues, Law Office Management, Legislative, Media, Membership, Seminars, Special Projects, and Technology. These committees provide detailed resources and recommendations for action by the Board.

Throughout the State, CAAA’s 19 chapters are designed and organized to serve members locally. Representing Central Coast, Central Valley, Chico, Coachella Valley, East Bay, Greater Inland Empire, Harbor Area, Los Angeles Metropolitan, Los Angeles Valley, Monterey Bay, Orange County, Redwood Empire, Sacramento Valley, San Diego, SanFrancisco, Santa Clara County, Shasta, Southern California, Stockton, and the chapters provide frequent opportunities for continuing education, the exchange of information, and resources among members, along with quick and efficient communication throughout the organization.
