Workers’ Comp Benefits

If you sustain an injury arising out of and during the course of your employment, you may be entitled to various benefits under the workers' compensation laws of the State of California. The first benefit and one of the immediate concerns to you is that you are entitled to medical and hospital treatment, prescription drugs, medical appliances, physical therapy, etc., all of which may be furnished to you free of charge. You are also entitled to be reimbursed for your travel expenses in the form of payment for mileage yet occurred, going to and from the doctor's office, hospital, etc. The second benefit that you are entitled to is temporary disability payments, which should be the money you are presently earning during the time you are unable to work. Normally, these payments are made every two weeks commencing after the first week that you have been unable to work. If the employer or insurance company delays benefits, we can assist you in obtaining other benefits including SDI, SSI, long-term disability and unemployment. The third benefit is permanent disability based upon a legal medical rating of your physical disability. This usually happens towards the end of that case after your doctor declares you permanent and stationary. The fourth benefit to which you may be entitled is vocational rehabilitation, which is a training program for a different job in the event you are unable to go back to work in your original work. There may also be other benefits to which your family may be entitled, which we will be pleased to discuss with you when we meet. For more information, visit www.fema.gov
