When a worker in Orange
County, California has suffered a disability that turns out to be permanent, it
is critical to obtain all the disability benefits due the injured worker from
the workers compensation insurance that was carried by his or her employer.
Suddenly, the family is missing a source of income. At the same time, there are
additional bills for health care and related medical expenses such as
transportation to and from appointments. A translator may be needed. Medications
may be required. Alterations may need to be made to the home in order to adapt
to disabilities.
The overwhelming thought for most is that their permanent disability will also
become a permanent financial problem.
Thinking that they cannot afford a lawyer, many injured workers do not receive
benefits to which they are entitled. Without legal training, and at a low point
in their lives, they try to fight an entire system single-handedly.
We are here to help you. Orange County, California workers compensation
benefits, as well as with other taxpayer-funded safety nets such as State
Disability Insurance, Social Security, food stamps and Medicare are available.
If you were unable to work for 12 or more simultaneous months or if it appears
after about six months that you are going to be away from work for 12 months or
more in a row due to disability, you should file for Social Security disability
