Increased Benefits

Finally, after many years of political battles, the benefit rate is increased for injured workers and the families of deceased injured workers who are injured from work-related causes. These benefits will be applicable to various cases.

Do I Have a Comp Injury?

Workers' Compensation injuries are common these days and will find that these injuries can affect many parts of the body. We frequently encounter different types of orthopedic work and accident injuries as well as internal and organ damage, mental, neuro, brain injury, toxic-poisoning injuries, continuous trauma injuries over the years as well as the sudden event type of injuries. More and more, we are seeing carpal tunnel, hand and arm problems together with neck, back and shoulder injuries resulting from awkward working positions; damage can be caused by repetitive work or even lack of movement in static positions in which employees are having to work. Workers are asked to lift, carry and push heavy items and this leads to life-long problems and surgery in many cases. Then there are the hidden injuries from loud noise over the years, toxic poisoning over time and even fibromyalgia symptoms caused by work. Workers who are subjected to serious harassment on the job from overwork or other unreasonable abnormal treatment may have a cause for filing a "Comp" case, but usually must show the predominance of the work relationship cause of employment psyche cases. Momentous events such as robberies at work can lead to psych compensation claims for disability whether temporary or permanent and even sexual harassment cases at work can be the subject of a workers' compensation case.

As a worker you have various rights, which include but are not limited to rights to treatment, medical mileage reimbursements, temporary and permanent disability benefits.

Please be aware that the law is complicated and these pages are not to be considered advice in your particular case. You are urged to consult us about your specific legal problem as legal advice can only be given in person to you alone by an attorney when we hear your facts in more detail.

Workers' Compensation or "Comp" injuries should be reported without delay or valuable rights can be lost. Moreover it is better in most cases to consult Workers' Comp attorneys such as ourselves than to attempt to go it alone. We can handle the maze of laws that are constantly changing. Call us (661-254-7064) or e-mail us, messages accepted 24 hours a day. Office consulting hours are 9-5 (PST) Monday through Friday by appointment.

What is fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a common and disabling disorder affecting 2-4% of the population, women more often than men. Despite the condition's frequency, the diagnosis is often missed. Patients with fibromyalgia usually ache all over, sleep poorly, are stiff on waking, and are tired all day. They are prone to headaches, memory and concentration problems, dizziness, numbness and tingling, itching, fluid retention, crampy abdominal or pelvic pain and diarrhea, and several other symptoms.
