Workplace injuries can occur due to a variety of reasons, but one of the most common reasons for these injuries is a slip and fall incident.
Slip and fall accidents (maybe you’ll see them referred to as trip and fall incidents) often lead to a range of injuries, including severe bruises, broken or dislocated bones, and even traumatic brain injuries.
In the tragic event where a person loses their life due to a workplace incident, families are typically able to recover certain types of compensation through traditional workers’ compensation benefits.
However, these benefits are limited, and we strongly encourage any family members or estates of a deceased individual to reach out to a wrongful death attorney in San Bernardino as quickly as possible.
No two work injuries are exactly alike, and the type of workers’ compensation benefits and individual receives depends entirely on their particular situation. The severity of some workplace injuries in California could lead to a person receiving permanent partial disability benefits. Understanding what these are, and if your situation calls for this type of benefit, can be helpful as you move forward with your claim.
What are total disability benefits available through California workers’ compensation? Understanding the different types of benefits available after a work injury can be confusing, particularly if the injury caused a long-lasting or permanent disability. Total disability benefits are available for situations where an injury prevents an individual from carrying out any job-related duties.
If you are going to get injured at work, try to do it during regular work hours.
The reality is that work injury claims can be challenging, and whether or not you can recover compensation for an injury that occurred during a scheduled or unscheduled break isn’t necessarily straightforward. Generally, most individuals will be able to recover workers’ compensation benefits if they sustain an on-the-job injury.
Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs), sometimes referred to as repetitive motion injuries or simply “stress injuries,” afflict millions of people across the country each year. These injuries sometimes happen due to on-the-job duties, such as repeating the same motions repeatedly without proper equipment, training, or ergonomic devices. Here, we want to discuss whether or not workers’ compensation benefits cover repetitive stress injuries.
