On Your Side
Luna Silva Law
Luna Silva Law represents employers, insurance carriers, and third-party administrators in contested California workers’ compensation claims — with trial-ready strategy from the first filing, not just at the hearing.
Built for Employers & Carriers
Defense-Only Focus
We represent employers, insurance carriers, and third-party administrators exclusively — never applicants. Every file gets the strategy of a firm that does only this.
Trial-Ready Strategy
Cases are built for hearing from the first filing — not assembled the week before a Mandatory Settlement Conference.
Direct Partner Access
You work with the founding partner handling your case — not a rotating cast of associates learning the file as it goes.
Chino Hills Roots
Statewide Reach
Since 2016, Luna Silva Law has built its practice around one idea: employers and carriers deserve defense counsel who do only this. We guide and defend businesses, insurance carriers, and third-party administrators through every stage of a contested California workers’ compensation claim.

Meet the Firm
Eric Silva
Founding Partner
Eric Silva has spent nearly three decades on the defense side of California workers' compensation, representing employers, insurance carriers, and third-party administrators before the WCAB. His practice centers on contested claims that require sustained litigation — cross-examination of medical experts, hearing strategy, and case resolution that protects a client's loss experience over the long term.
Jacob Luna
Founding Partner
Jacob Luna co-founded the firm in 2016 to give employers and carriers a defense practice built entirely around workers' compensation — not a general-practice firm handling claims on the side. He works directly with risk managers and claims examiners to set litigation strategy early, so cases are trial-ready long before they reach a hearing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the firm represent injured workers?+
No. Luna Silva Law represents employers, insurance carriers, third-party administrators, and self-insured entities exclusively — we do not take applicant-side cases.
What areas of California do you cover?+
Our attorneys appear before WCAB venues throughout California. Reach out with your venue and we'll confirm coverage before you assign the file.
What do you need to evaluate a new claim?+
The claim number, carrier or TPA name, a copy of the DOR or Application for Adjudication, and any medical-legal reports already in the file. We can begin an initial assessment from there.
How does the firm bill?+
Billing arrangements are set at intake and vary by client relationship — hourly, panel-counsel rates, or program-based arrangements for higher-volume claims administrators. We're upfront about litigation costs before a case moves forward.
