If you are an employee and have been injured on the job, Workers’ Compensation can help you and your family stay afloat while you are recuperating, and if your injuries prevent you from working again or from performing the type of work which you performed before you may be entitled to long-term benefits to help replace your income. Please, talk to our Los Angeles accident attorneys right away, so you can start receiving benefits as soon as possible.
Workers’ Compensation Benefits
Workers’ Compensation can pay for your medical care, rehabilitation, and therapy. It can also replace up to two-thirds of your income. Income replacement falls into four basic categories:
• Total permanent disability
• Partial permanent disability
• Total temporary disability
• Partial temporary disability
Workers’ Compensation Death Benefits
If your spouse, or in some situations another loved one, has died from work-related injuries, you may be entitled to Workers’ Compensation death benefits. Death benefits can cover burial expenses and replace part of your loved one’s income for a limited amount of time.
If you or a loved one has been injured or killed on the job, please call our Los Angeles, California accident attorneys or submit an online questionnaire. The initial consultation with our personal injury lawyers is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, in most cases we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a personal injury lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
