What is Workers' Compensation?
If an injury, illness or disability occurs at, or because of, your work, you deserve benefits. Injuries may result from single, accidental events or from repeated exposure to hazards on the job site. It does not matter if your on the job injury was your fault. Every employer carries insurance to cover employee illnesses, injuries and disabilities related to the workplace. Your workers’ compensation coverage costs nothing and you should never be charged for it.
Temporary Disability Compensation
A temporary disability benefit is available if you are unable to work for more than three days due to an injury. Claimants typically receive up to two-thirds of their average weekly earnings, with the total based on work time lost. Benefits are paid for up to two years, but your claim must be filed within five years of your original injury.
Medical Treatment for Workplace Injuries
Medical treatment for employees suffering workplace injuries must be authorized within one day of filing a claim. Treatment must be provided until the claim is accepted or rejected, up to a set maximum.
After Farrell, Fraulob & Brown secures approval of your claim, the insurance company pays for your entire medically accepted treatment regimen. At this point, you will pay nothing for your therapy. Treatment requests may be reviewed and denied, based on the insurer’s decision. When these disagreements arise, Farrell, Fraulob & Brown goes back to work to get our Orangevale clients the health care they need.
Permanent Disability Compensation
A permanent disability limits your opportunity to work in the career of your choice. Our Orangevale clients and California state workers' compensation insurers commonly disagree about any claim for permanent disability. Filing a successful claim often relies on our experience at Farrell, Fraulob & Brown. After your claim is approved, your occupation, age, and the type of disability are used to calculate your benefit.
Workers’ Compensation Death Benefits
In the worst case, an on the job injury leads to death. As a family member, you need Farrell, Fraulob & Brown to guarantee you receive what is owed for the loss of your loved one. The number of dependents and the worker’s salary at the time of injury determine the amount of any death benefit. Our attorneys know how important these funds are to maintain family strength and security. Farrell, Fraulob & Brown does what is needed to legally secure the health and stability of our Orangevale clients and their families.
