Top-Rated Glendale Workers' Compensation Lawyer

California is a no-fault workers’ compensation state, meant to benefit both employees and employers. In return, workers are not allowed to sue their employers for injuries, so those employees don’t have to prove that their employer was at fault for their injury in order to receive benefits. They only have to prove that the injury was work-related. California workers’ compensation insurance, paid for by employers, is designed to provide several benefits to workers who have been injured. Most Los Angeles County workers’ compensation cases will require the assistance of a workers’ compensation attorney at some point to ensure maximum benefits. All payments and all non-cash benefits received by employees from workers’ compensation insurance are tax-exempt. This is not the case for other benefits, such as unemployment. Workers’ compensation benefits can be divided into the following categories:

Medical expenses: All expenses related to the medical treatment of your injury are covered by the workers’ compensation program. This includes the cost of any medical evaluations and treatments, and/or surgery. Prescription drugs, medical devices, and any transportation costs to seek medical treatment should also be covered. In California, injured workers are reimbursed for traveling to their medical appointments at the IRS mileage rate, which is 54 cents per mile. This is a lesser known benefit that might require some pressure being applied by your Glendale, CA workers’ compensation attorney.

Temporary disability benefits: Time off of work due to an injury is covered by temporary disability benefits. These payments are made based on two-thirds of the average weekly wage of a worker in California. However, there are state-mandated weekly maximums that cap your payment. This cap depends on the date of your injury. You are able to be paid temporary disability benefits for up to two years after your date of injury, unless you suffer from one of the specified conditions that have been identified as exceptions and qualify for 240 weeks of temporary disability payments.

Permanent disability benefits: Payments called permanent disability benefits are made to workers with injuries that affect their ability to return to their job or to participate in other positions on the job market. The amount paid out to these workers is calculated according to a permanent disability rating. This rating is based on the injury that was sustained, the age of the injured worker, that worker’s job position, and the doctor’s recommended restrictions. Depending on your disability rating, you could receive permanent disability payments for as little as four weeks or as long as 14 years. It is a worthy investment to hire a workers’ compensation attorney to fight for your benefits in Glendale, California.

Life pension benefits: Life pension benefits are for workers who are severely disabled and receive a permanent disability rating of 70% or higher. This small weekly payment is paid in addition to the disabled worker’s permanent disability payments. Life pension payments can be received for the entire remainder of your life.

Vocational retraining expenses: The workers’ compensation benefit that covers the cost of vocational retraining is called the Supplemental Job Displacement Benefit. These benefits are available to those workers who can no longer return to their previous job due to the effects of their injury and whose employers were not able offer them any type of alternative employment. This vocational retraining benefit comes in the form of a $6,000 voucher for education-related career retraining at certain pre-approved schools. The voucher will cover tuition, other fees, and textbooks. Speak with your workers’ compensation attorney to evaluate whether your Los Angeles County work injury qualifies for vocation retraining benefits.

Death benefits: Death benefit payments are paid to spouses, children, and other dependents of workers who are killed in work-related accidents. These benefits can include burial and funeral expenses.

If you have been hurt on the job, your future and your family’s future quality of life depends on your ability to receive the maximum amount of workers’ compensation benefits you are entitled to under the law. For the sake of your loved ones who depend on you, do not hesitate to contact a qualified workers’ compensation attorney to fight for your right to compensation in Glendale, California by calling (818) 937-9255.
