When a severe or catastrophic injury happens at work, the injured worker and their families need the experience and skill of a firm focused solely on workers’ compensation claims. These claims can be worth millions of dollars, and insurance companies work with top defense firms to aggressively fight to pay the full amount that the claim is worth.

If you or a loved one have suffered a severe workplace injury in Glendale or throughout Southern California, you should be eligible to receive compensation through California’s workers’ compensation system. However, in some instances, employers and their workers’ comp insurance providers create obstacles that postpone or deny legitimate work injuries. At KCNS Law Group, our highly qualified team of Glendale workers’ comp lawyers advocate for workers in California who deserve to be treated fairly when they are injured on the job.

What’s Considered a Serious Workers’ Comp Injury?

A workplace injury is considered serious if it is likely to lead to long-term disablement, consequently hindering a person’s ability to earn an income. In California, workers in many industries—like construction, manufacturing, transportation, and public safety—are susceptible to serious on-the-job injuries. Whatever the industry, serious workers’ comp injuries include a wide range of incapacities, such as: 

  • Traumatic head or brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Loss of limb
  • Loss of vision, hearing, or other senses
  • Severe burn wounds
  • Paralysis or partial paralysis

What Benefits Are Available for a Serious Workers’ Compensation Case?

California’s workers’ compensation law is a no-fault system designed to benefit both employees and employers. Under this system, workers cannot sue their employers in court for workplace injuries in exchange for the assurance that they do not have to prove that their employer was responsible for the injury. To receive benefits, workers only need to prove that the injury was work-related. The California workers’ compensation system, paid for by employers, offers numerous benefits to injured employees, including: 

  • Medical care: Including doctor visits, hospital services, medical equipment, medicine, lab tests, and more.
  • Temporary disability payments: To reimburse lost wages while recovering for up to 104 weeks.
  • Permanent disability payments: To benefit individuals who don’t fully recover and whose injury causes permanent physical or mental incapacity. 
  • Retraining: Payments that cover learning new skills when you’re unable to return to your previous employer due to your injury. 
  • Death benefits: Paid to your dependents if your work-related injuries or illness is fatal. 

Note that workers’ comp payments and non-cash benefits are tax-exempt, which sets these benefits apart from other benefits, like unemployment. Injured workers and their families need these benefits to cover the vast amount of medical bills, treatment costs, ongoing rehabilitation and care, lost wages, and trauma caused by the workplace accident.
