Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is workers compensation in California?

    Worker's compensation policies will vary from state to state, so in California, worker's compensation provides employees with benefits and compensation in the event of injury, either a single incident or multiple accounts of exposure. You may also qualify for worker's compensation in the event of severe illness due to work, in which an attorney may be helpful! 

  • What are the benefits of workers compensation?

    In California, worker's compensation provides five primary benefits, including medical care, temporary or permanent disability, job displacement, and insurance in the event of death. An attorney should be contacted in the event you are entitled to worker's compensation and denied it by your employer. 

  • What is the difference between SSI and social security disability?

    The primary difference between the two are the factors that determine eligibility. Social security disability is based on the disability that restricts you from working and work credits.
