Workers Compensation Benefits in Fresno

Based upon the extent of the injuries suffered, numerous types of Workers Compensation Benefits are available to individuals who have been injured on the job. A skilled Fresno Workers Comp Lawyer will thoroughly review your Claim with you, including your medical records, and based upon his or her findings will advise you as to those Benefits to which you or your loved ones may be entitled.

In the State of California the following forms of Workers Compensation Benefits may be available to those who have suffered a work related injury:

Medical Care Benefits

All medical care costs stemming from a work-related injury or illness will be covered, including: the cost of surgery; hospitalization; physical therapy; occupational therapy; rehabilitation; doctor’s visits; medical tests; medical equipment; and all prescription medication. Additionally, those injured on the job are entitled to reimbursement for the cost of travel to and from medical appointments, including mileage and tolls.

Temporary Disability Payments

Monetary compensation payable to reimburse for lost wages during the injured worker’s period of recovery.

Permanent Disability Payments

Monetary compensation payable to individuals who have sustained a permanent disability, either mental or physical, that prevents them from returning to their typical line of work. A physician must certify that the injured employee’s disability is permanent.

Monetary Workers Compensation Benefits are designed to replace a portion of the injured worker’s wages or salary. These benefits are typically calculated at 2/3 of the worker’s weekly earnings payable up to a maximum rate as set forth by statute. Additional amounts are paid based on the loss of vision, amputation, and other catastrophic injuries.

Supplemental Job Displacement

Available in the form of a voucher, Supplemental Job Displacement Benefits are available for permanently injured workers to obtain job retraining. The recipient must attend a fully accredited educational institution that is approved by the State of California.

Death Benefits

Monetary benefits that are payable to the surviving spouse, children and other dependents if the worker dies as a result of his or her work-related injuries or illness. Death benefits include burial expenses to a maximum of $10,000 and benefits payable to the surviving spouse and other dependents (three or more) are paid at a total maximum of $320,000.
