What Types Of Compensation Can Injured Workers Receive?
An accurate determination of your California workers’ compensation benefits can be extremely complex and requires a correctly completed application, which our attorneys can help you with.
Depending on the state law that is in play after your workplace accident, you may have the right to benefits like:
- Temporary disability: These can replace a portion of your wages if your injury left you unable to work for more than three days.
- Permanent disability: These can replace some of your lost wages if your permanent impairment prevents you from working..
- Medical care: This can include different types of medical treatment, such as physical therapy, doctor visits, psychological counseling, prescription medication or any other treatment you need to recover from your injury.
- Death benefits: These typically go to your surviving family members if your workplace injury results in death.
- Occupational retraining: If your injury prevents you from working in your field, workers’ comp can pay for any occupational training you need to take on a new job.
You may be in line for additional benefits if the circumstances of your accident allow you to file a third-party claim against others who may have caused your injury. For example, if you got hurt while driving a company truck and the other driver was liable you could bring a personal injury claim against that person, or if you got injured due to malfunctioning workplace equipment, the manufacturer may be responsible for your injury.
