What is Workers' Compensation?
Every employer carries insurance to cover employee illnesses, injuries and disabilities related to the workplace. It does not matter if your on the job injury was your fault. If the injury, illness or disability occurs at work, you deserve benefits. Injuries are defined as resulting from single, accidental events or from repeated exposure to hazards of the job site. Your workers’ compensation coverage costs nothing and you should never be charged for it.
Temporary Disability Compensation
If you are unable to work for more than three days due to an injury, you may apply for temporary disability benefits. You may receive up to two-thirds of your average weekly earnings for work time lost. Benefits may be paid for two years, but a claim must be filed within five years of the original injury.
Medical Treatment for Workplace Injuries
California requires employers to authorize medical treatment for employees suffering workplace injuries within one day of their filing a claim. Treatment is provided until the claim is accepted or rejected, up to a cost of $10,000.
Once your claim is approved, the insurance company pays for your medically accepted treatment regimen. Upon acceptance, you should never have to cover bills or co-payments. The state of California does impose some limits, such as on the number of physical therapy or chiropractic visits. Your insurer may review your treatment requests and you may be denied a certain therapy, based on the insurer’s judgment. At times such as these, Farrell, Fraulob & Brown work to get our Citrus Heights clients the treatment they require.
Permanent Disability Compensation
Our Citrus Heights clients and workers’ compensation insurers sometimes disagree about any claim of permanent disability. Permanent disabilities limit your ongoing ability to work in your chosen career. Your age, occupation, and the nature of the disability are factors used to calculate the amount of benefit owed to you. Your successful claim often relies on our experience at Farrell, Fraulob & Brown.
