Workers’ Compensation Benefits, Explained
If you need a workers’ compensation lawyer in Dixon, we can help you with any workers’ compensation-related claims. We will also ensure you understand precisely what the law states you are entitled to.
Here are the five essential workers’ compensation benefits offered to employees in California:
- Medical care: Your employer must pay for injuries and illnesses requiring medical attention and care.
- Temporary disability benefits: If you cannot do your job and lose wages, temporary disability benefits are designed to bridge the gap until you can return to work.
- Permanent disability benefits: If returning to work is not an option due to work-related injuries or illness, securing permanent disability benefits is essential.
- Supplemental job displacement benefits: Since 2004, the State of California has issued vouchers for retraining or new skills education if a person is displaced from their job before getting hurt.
- Death benefits: Dependents, including spouses and children, of someone killed due to a work-related incident, are entitled to death benefits.
