Calculating The Benefits According to The Type of
Disability

If you sustained a work-related injury and need
enough time off work in order to fully recover,
your employer is responsible to provide you
compensation through workers comp that will
replace your lost wages. There is something
called temporary disability (TD) you can
receive for up to 104 weeks in California.
Permanent disability, on the other hand, will
cover injuries resulting in permanent impairment.
You may also qualify for Social Security
Disability insurance benefits (SSDI). However, if
you are still collecting workers comp, you will
receive less SSDI.

Temporary Disability
When your injuries arent that severe requiring
you to take time off work for less than 104 days,
you may qualify for temporary disability
benefits. These benefits are generally easier to
get than permanent benefits. However, you will
need to meet some requirements first. A Los
Angeles Disability Benefits Attorney can tell you
if your circumstances qualify for temporary
disability and help you file a successful claim.
Temporary disability benefits only last for 52
weeks in California and they cover about 60 of
your wages.

Permanent Disability
In order to receive workers compensation
benefits on a permanent basis, you dont have to
be unable to work. Some injuries can limit the
workers ability to perform certain tasks so he
or she can still collect some workers comp
benefits related to the permanent disability.
Workers who already recovered from work-related
injuries will not qualify for these benefits.

Calculating Your Benefits
The type of compensation you receive depends on
the type and nature of your injuries. If you have
been permanently disabled, you should definitely
hire a Los Angeles Disability Benefits Attorney.
Your attorney can help you rate your disability
properly so that you have more chances of
qualifying for permanent benefits.

It is important you make an informed decision
with the help of an experienced attorney.
Sometimes insurance companies will not tell you
about the impact a buyout will have on other
benefits. In other words, they may offer to
buyout your future disability benefits, which may
not be beneficial in your particular situation.
However, in some cases negotiating a lump-sum buy
out can be beneficial, depending on how much the
insurance company is willing to pay. But these
are things only an experienced attorney can
determine
