How To Get Workers' Comp For A Temporary Disability
Temporary disabilities are the benefits given to injured workers who are
unable to perform their duties because they are recovering from a work-related
injury. Some of the common types of temporary disabilities are spinal
cord injuries and back injuries. You might be entitled to
workers' compensation benefits up until the point when you return to work or until your condition
has reached complete recovery. It is advisable to obtain the legal counsel
of our the Law Offices of Bryan K. Leiser.
What To Do Next
In order to obtain benefits for temporary disabilities, you will need to
present valid medical documentation of the current status of your disability.
Claims for temporary or
permanent impairment may be difficult to file. Your claim may even be
denied without proper representation.
After being absent from work for four days as the result of a temporary
disability, you may be eligible to begin receiving benefits. The amount
to which you will be compensated will be at a rate of two-thirds of your
usual wages. California law now places a cap of two years on the benefits
that you can receive for temporary disability.
