Many injured workers,
who find themselves with temporary disabilities after a work related accident or
disease due to work related toxic exposure, will find their recovery delayed in
Orange County, California.
Disabled workers are sometimes greeted with suspicion and distrust instead of
the compassion and help that is supposed to come from the workers compensation
system. They find themselves paralyzed with shame and frustration and undeserved
financial worries due to improper payment, workers compensation calculations,
and delays in processing their benefits.
Thinking that they cannot afford a lawyer, many injured workers miss out on
being paid their benefits. Without legal training, and at a low point in their
lives, they try unsuccesfully to fight the disability system single-handedly.
YOUR DISABILITY RIGHTS:
- You have a right to a caring and professional
physician to treat your symptoms; paid for by your employer or his workers
compensation insurance company.
- You are entitled to temporary disability
checks while you are unable to work.
- Abusive treatment from the claims examiner is
unacceptable.
It is illegal for an employer to discriminate
against an injured worker because the individual has a work injury or is
pursuing workers compensation benefits.
If a lump-sum benefit payment is offered to you,
it is best to consult an attorney before accepting any settlements from an
insurance company.
