At Belal Hamideh Law, we understand that serious work related injuries can negatively impact the rest of your life. We’re prepared to pursue your case as aggressively as possible in order to maximize your compensation. If you’ve been injured, chances are that you’re going to have to deal with insurance companies. Unfortunately, these insurers literally have teams of lawyers and claim adjusters whose sole job is to settle your case for the least amount of money possible. Belal Hamideh, an experienced worker’s compensation attorney, can keep that from happening.
Navigating the aftermath of a workplace injury can be overwhelming, particularly when faced with medical expenses, lost wages, and the complexities of filing a workers’ compensation claim. A workers’ compensation attorney plays a crucial role in guiding injured workers through this process, ensuring they receive the benefits they are legally entitled to under California law.
Experience Counts
One of the primary advantages of working with a workers’ compensation attorney is the strategic approach they bring to your case. Belal’s knowledge of workers’ compensation laws ensures that claims are presented effectively, avoiding common pitfalls that could lead to denial or underpayment.
An attorney also facilitates access to medical care without out-of-pocket costs for the injured worker. Through established relationships with medical providers, Belal can ensure that injured workers receive the appropriate treatment to aid recovery.
Additionally, Belal knows how to gather medical evidence to strengthen the claim, providing detailed documentation of the injury, its impact, and the necessary treatments. If the case proceeds to a hearing, this evidence is vital in presenting a compelling argument before the workers’ compensation board.
Belal Knows How to Help You Get Your Compensation
In California, workers injured on the job may be eligible for various benefits, regardless of fault. A workers’ compensation attorney ensures that no eligible benefit is overlooked.
For instance, temporary disability benefits provide a percentage of average weekly earnings for workers who cannot perform their duties due to injury. If permanent work restrictions are imposed by a doctor, injured workers may qualify for a rehabilitation voucher worth up to six thousand dollars, which can be used for retraining or education to pursue a new career path.
Additionally, reimbursement is available for transportation costs incurred while attending medical appointments or therapy sessions. Future medical care settlements are another critical aspect of workers’ compensation claims. These settlements account for ongoing medical expenses related to the injury, providing financial relief for treatments that extend beyond the initial recovery period.
Permanent disability settlements, designed for those whose injuries impact their ability to perform regular job functions, are also a key area where an attorney’s guidance is invaluable.
Remember: Your Employer Cannot Retaliate Against You
Were you fired after filing your worker’s compensation claim? Did you know that it’s illegal for your employers to fire you specifically for filing a worker’s compensation claim? If this has happened to you, contact us right away.
We will immediately put into action a penalty claim for approximately half of your original claim. In addition, if you are fired for a job because of a disability, we will file a civil lawsuit under the Americans with Disabilities Act for back pay, loss of future earnings, emotional distress and punitive damages. And that’s just the beginning.
