Medical care covered by California Workers Compensation insurance claims include: medical, surgical and hospital services, dental services, crutches and orthopedic devices, hearing aids, chiropractic treatment, physical therapy, nursing care, etc and prescribed medications. California Workmans Compensation cases cover a variety of work injuries ranging from temporary disability to total or partial permanent disability.

You may be entitled to a settlement for a partial permanent disability award if you have permanent work restrictions imposed because of your work injury or job related injuries. Medical evidence will determine the extent of your temporary as well as permanent disabilities. The value of your claim depends, in large part, on the extent of permanent disability.

Personal injury law is also known as tort law. A tort is described as "a civil wrong or wrongful act, whether intentional or accidental, from which injury occurs to another. Torts include all negligence cases as well as intentional wrongs which result in harm."

The most common grounds for a civil lawsuit involve negligence. These include motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, swimming and diving accidents, boating accidents and premises liability (slip and fall) accidents. When an accident occurs due to negligence, the injured party may file a claim against the negligent party to recover all their damages. Damages generally include current and future medical expenses, property damage, pain and suffering, current and future loss of income, loss of enjoyment and in certain cases, punitive damages.

If you are like most people, you think that Social Security is strictly a retirement program. Although most of the beneficiaries receive retirement benefits, many others get Social Security because they are disabled. If you are a working person who can no longer do your job because of an illness or injury, you may be eligible for disability benefits.

The first requirement is that you must have paid into Social Security for a long enough period of time and in large enough dollar amounts to be considered “eligible”. Next, you must not be “gainfully” employed. You must next be under a “disability” which has lasted or is expected to last 12 months. You must have a “disability” that is “severe” enough to keep you from doing your past job. All of the terms in quotations are legal terms that need to be explained by an attorney familiar with Social Security Regulations.
