Permanent Disability Claims in California
Representation From An Experienced Worker's Comp Lawyer In Fresno & Visalia
An injured individual's workers' compensation benefit package will
be based on the extent of the disability he or she has suffered. Levels
of disability are primarily determined based on whether they are
temporary or permanent. With permanent total disability, there is no limit on the
number of weeks that a person can be paid.
In such cases, an employee might be able to engage in employment as long
as the combined income does not exceed the maximum amount allowed. If
you have questions or require guidance for a permanent disability, speak
with our Fresno workers' compensation lawyer at your earliest convenience.
How Permanent Disability Benefits Are Determined
For individuals who have had their wage-earning capacity decreased as the
result of an injury, they have suffered permanent partial disability.
Permanent partial disability is then further broken down into schedule
loss of use and non-schedule categories, depending on the body part affected
and the extent of the disability.
When California workers suffer permanent disabilities at the workplace,
they are generally allowed to receive benefits through workers' compensation.
The benefits received for permanent disability are based on a ranking
system that is used to distribute compensation to workers with a variety
of impairments.
