The Purpose of Workers’ Compensation Benefits

In California, workers’ compensation benefits are designed to protect both employees and employers in the event of work-related injuries or illnesses.

Five Essential Workers’ Compensation Benefits

In California, regular employees (not independent contractors, volunteers, or freelancers/gig workers) employees are legally entitled to receive the following workers’ compensation benefits:

• Medical care: Benefits that pay for the cost of medical attention and care for the work-related injury or illness
• Temporary disability benefits: If you cannot perform your job and therefore lose your wages, temporary disability benefits are meant to bridge the gap until you can return to work.
• Permanent disability benefits: If a work-related injury or illness prevents you from working again, permanent disability benefits are possible.
• Supplemental job displacement benefits: Since 2004, 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 legally entitled to claim death benefits.

What if I can’t afford a Dixon Workers’ Compensation Attorney?

Our lawyers offer a free, no-obligation initial consultation to discuss the facts of your situation. We also work on a contingency basis, so you will pay nothing to us until a settlement is reached. If there is no settlement, you will not pay any fees.

The Importance of Negotiation Skills in Workers’ Compensation Claims

Our Dixon workers’ compensation attorneys are aggressive and skilled negotiators. This is essential to a successful outcome in a workers’ compensation case. Insurance companies’ only priority is themselves and keeping payouts as low as possible. Your Dixon workers’ compensation attorney will always negotiate on your behalf and in your best interests.

What if I’ve already filed my claim?

Under most situations, our Dixon personal injury lawyers can step in wherever you are in the claims process. We will double-check to ensure all necessary paperwork has been filed effectively. We will immediately begin scrutinizing evidence, medical records and reports, and other materials to build a winning claim.

I filed my claim, and I need medical treatment. What do you think I should do?

You should go to an emergency room immediately if your injuries are life-threatening. By law, the claims administrator must authorize medical treatment within one working day after a claim is filed with an employer, even while the claim is being investigated. Our legal team will help you get the treatment you need and do everything in our power to ensure you are compensated.

Workers’ Compensation Doctors in California

Doctors in California’s workers’ compensation system must, by law, provide evidence-based medical treatment. The treatments they choose must be scientifically proven to cure or relieve the type of work-related injury or illness they suffer. Some employers may have designated doctors for you to see; however, if the medical professional assigned to you is not meeting your needs, we can help you get a different doctor.

How Our Dixon Workers’ Compensation Attorneys Gather Medical Evidence

Our Dixon workers’ compensation attorneys are aided by professional investigators trained to uncover supporting evidence for workers’ compensation claims. Additionally, our firm works regularly with trusted independent medical examiners (IMEs) to verify injuries or conditions, including long-term implications that could affect future earnings.

Denied Workers’ Compensation Claims

There is a formal appeal process for denied claims and unfair settlements. If you have been dismissed and are now looking for an experienced legal team to handle your appeal, we can help. If we take your case, we will represent you in court if necessary to get the settlement you deserve. You will not be charged a dime unless you win.
