A Review of Workers' Compensation

First, you are not charged for workers’ compensation. Second, the only requirement to file a claim is that your illness, disability or injury occurred because of your job. You deserve benefits even when you were at fault in the injury. (Disabilities are considered to result from one-time events or accumulated health damage caused by hazardous exposure or repetitive motions over time.) Third, an employer in the State of California is required to carry workers’ compensation insurance to cover employee disabilities suffered in the workplace.

Temporary Disability Compensation

You qualify for a temporary disability benefit when you are prevented from working for more than three days due to a workplace disability. Claims for temporary disability recover up to two-thirds of the weekly earnings lost. It is possible to receive benefits for up to two years, but it is important to not delay your application! It is required that claims be filed within five years of your original illness or injury. If you are close to this deadline, Farrell, Fraulob & Brown can streamline your application to get it in on time.

Receiving Medical Treatment for Workplace Injuries

Medical treatment is authorized for injured workers within one day of filing a claim for workers’ compensation. Treatment should be provided until the claim is rejected or accepted. Your medical care during this initial stage will be paid up to a California maximum of ten thousand dollars.

After Farrell, Fraulob & Brown gets your claim approved, the insurance company completely covers the costs of your medically accepted treatment. You pay no costs for ongoing therapy, although there are limits to some types of procedures, such as chiropractic visits or physical therapist appointments. Every treatment request is subject to the insurers’ decision-making process. When treatment requests are denied, Farrell, Fraulob & Brown secure the care our Antelope clients need to preserve healthy lives.

Permanent Disability Compensation

If you can no longer work in the career of your choice due to a workplace illness or injury, your claim may be filed under the category of Permanent Disability. It is not uncommon for the California state workers’ compensation system and our Antelope clients to disagree about the seriousness of a disability. File a successful claim by relying on the experience and skills of Farrell, Fraulob & Brown! Upon acceptance of your claim, your age, the type of disability, and the former occupation are factors in determining the amount of your permanent disability benefit.

Workers’ Compensation Death Benefits

Applying for a death benefit is a trying circumstance. Families rely on Farrell, Fraulob & Brown to receive appropriate compensation for losing their loved one. The size of the family and the worker’s income at the time the death was caused are figured into the amount of the benefit. Our attorneys know that this ongoing income is needed to care for family security, so Farrell, Fraulob & Brown does what is required to secure the stability of our Antelope clients and their families.
