In southern California, a Workmans Compensation case
is adjudicated at the nearest California Workers
Compensation Appeals Board. Without a qualified
Riverside Workmens Compensation lawyer to represent
you, there is very little chance that you will
receive a fair settlement from your workman’s comp
claim. The California Workers Compensation insurance
company that is responsible for your work comp claim
will hire a Workers Comp attorney of their own to
defend against you.
Overall, the California workers compensation and
disability laws are designed to protect the injured
worker. Unfortunately, there have been a lot of
abuses and fraud in the California workmens
compensation system, therefore Workers Comp
insurance companies are often reluctant to pay
workers compensation benefits even on legitimate
Riverside California workplace injury claims.
There are four basic benefit categories to which you
may be entitled if you have suffered a work injury
in California.
Medical Treatment: Under California Workers
Compensation law, an injured worker is entitled to
all reasonable and necessary medical treatment to
care for any injury sustained during the course and
scope of his employment. Such medical treatment is
paid for 100% by the employer's California Workers
Comp insurance company.
Temporary Disability: If an injured
California employee is unable to work during the
time he is receiving ongoing medical treatment for
his work related injury, he is entitled to temporary
disability checks equal to two thirds of his gross
pay, up to a statutory maximum amount of about $600
weekly.
Permanent Disability: If an injured worker
has a permanent disability or permanent work
restriction as a result of the work injury
sustained, he will be entitled to a settlement
amount for that disability. Every case is different,
so please call one of our Riverside Workers
Compensation Attorneys to discuss the specifics of
your case and work restrictions.
Vocational Rehabilitation: When an injured
worker is declared to be "permanent and stationary"
by his treating physician, that is to say, when his
medical condition has stabilized with no further
treatment required, and it is determined that the
injured worker is no longer capable of performing
his former job, then the worker is entitled to be
retrained into a different kind of employment at the
expense of the California work comp insurance
carrier.
You should be aware that not every on the job injury
is due to a specific accident or visible trauma.
Sometimes workers sustain serious injuries due to
the repetitive nature of their occupations. When
someone is injured because of certain repetitive
motions that they perform, such injuries are called
repetitive trauma, continuous trauma, or cumulative
trauma injuries. Examples of these types of work
injuries would be carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic
back pain, and gradual hearing loss. Such injuries
rarely have witnesses, but our Riverside workers
compensation lawyers & are very successful in
winning these types or workers compensation claims.
