Types Of Benefits You May Qualify For
The benefits available to you will depend on several factors, including the severity and longevity of the injury you have suffered. Benefits can include:
- Medical care: Workers’ compensation law requires the payment of all reasonably necessary medical treatments for work-related injuries.
- Temporary disability: If your injuries are deemed temporary, temporary disability benefits cover the wages lost due to the inability to work while you are recovering.
- Permanent disability: If you have a work-related injury or illness that will prevent you from working permanently, you could receive permanent disability benefits. There are complicated computations used to determine the severity of the disabilities you are suffering. The severity level of your disability will determine what percentage of your former income you will be eligible to receive.
- Supplemental job displacement: This is another essential benefit. It provides support in the form of a voucher to cover vocational training costs, tools, and licensing or certification expenses. This support will allow you to find other suitable work that you can perform to continue earning income.
- Death: If someone you love has died in a work-related accident, that person’s spouse, children and other dependents can receive benefits to cover burial expenses and additional costs.
This list contains only brief descriptions of the various workers’ compensation benefits available in California. But each of these benefits brings numerous legal complications and challenges. It is critical to work with a legal team that can protect your rights and interests through the process.
