On the Job Injury by GCWC

Unable to Work due to Injury?

On the Job Injury by GCWC

Many different careers have risks both high and low that end with people suffering an on the job injury. While an accident can happen during any job, there are others that are much more dangerous jobs such as those that involve transportation, machinery, construction, and even sanitation. As you can tell, it’s easier to see how a workplace with very dangerous work conditions can be held accountable if a worker has an accident while on the clock. Every employer has to have the necessary accommodations so that their employees feel safe and can do their jobs efficiently without worrying about enduring an on the job injury.

Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center is a law firm dedicated to helping their clients with disabilities and injuries, getting them the benefits they rightfully deserve. An accomplished and experienced attorney can give you adequate advice on how to move forward with your claim. In fact, it doesn’t cost you any more money up front the earlier you get an Attorney involved, but not getting one early enough could cost you in your case later on.

To understand how likely a worker can get injured, here is a list of some dangerous careers that could result in an on the job injury:

·        Landscapers, lawn service workers, and groundskeepers

·        Construction workers and extraction workers

·        Structural iron and steel workers

·        Ranchers and other agricultural workers

·        Truck drivers

·        Refuse and recyclable materials collectors

·        Roofers

·        Aircraft pilots and flight engineers

·        Fishers

·        Logging workers

Whichever the case, if you receive a specific injury that requires medical care, or even if you receive an injury that developed over time, and it happened while you were on the clock at your place of work, you are most likely entitled to workers’ compensation. It might be a bit hard to tell at first, in which case you could call an Attorney for a consultation to see what your options are.

The process of applying for Workers’ Compensation can seem complicated, and choosing an evaluating physician is a crucial step in the process. Our ability to be familiar with the process is essential in obtaining a fair or even favorable evaluation, since employers and their insurance companies will be working hard to save their own money at your expense.

The assistance of an attorney is crucial especially in ensuring things get filed on a timely basis. Gold Country has helped many people who have an on the job injury, so don’t hesitate to call us for a consultation at 530-362-7188.

California Disability Case

California Disability Case

California Disability Case with GCWC

Filing a California Disability Case can vary greatly from the claimant to claimant. The complexities of the individual case can make the outcome very different depending on what disabilities the person has, what their income status is, and what their prior work history was. You don’t have to wrap your head around trying to figure out the ins and outs of a California Disability Case from the beginning, though. You can hire an attorney to help you through the process no matter how complex you think the case might be.

For instance, depending on the intensity level of the job you worked prior to filing for disability, the way the outcome is determined may vary from case to case. Some people do light or sedentary work, like working on a computer or clerical duties. Others may have work experience dealing in labor or construction, making it medium or heavy work. This is then compared to the kinds of ailments you suffer from and how likely you are able to go back to what you’re experienced in doing. A laborer who suffered a severe back injury may not likely be able to do their previous work and may not end up only being able to do light or sedentary work. And depending on their age, the likelihood that they can be trained to do a job outside of what they have been used to doing for more than a decade is very low. Thus more than likely granting them disability benefits if the right kind of evidence is provided throughout the claim.

Social Security will try to make a determination within a few months of a claimant applying for benefits. A representative will want many documents filled out and will follow up with doctors, hospitals, and clinics the claimant has gone to for treatment of their conditions. If you are applying for a California Disability Case, it can be very stressful to do this on your own. Handling a busy schedule of attending doctors’ visits, organizing your medications, and overall looking after yourself is more than enough to deal with. Let a professional Attorney handle your disability claim so that you may not have to.

Gold Country Workers’ Comp is a law firm dedicated to not only assist people who were injured on the job but will also assist with peoples’ California Disability Case and get their clients the compensation they deserve. If you or someone you know is disabled and needs help with a claim, call (530) 362-7188 for a free consultation.

SSD in Sacramento with GCWC

Worker's Comp Lawyer

Social Security Disability in Sacramento with Gold Country Workers Comp Center

The process of obtaining SSD in Sacramento can vary from person to person. SSD, or Social Security Disability benefits, can help you if you are out of work and unable to work. Social Security does not depend on where you contracted the medical condition that prevents you from working.  To briefly digress:  We now know that COVID-19 can produce long lasting and serious organ and/or lung damage that may render you unable to work.  (And the law provides various aids in proving you contracted coronavirus at work, meaning you could ALSO have a workers’ compensation claim!)

The first step to take is to contact an Attorney in order to determine if you are eligible. A knowledgeable disability law firm can advise you and ask the right questions in order to know which program(s) you can qualify for (as there can be more than one). Everyone handles their conditions differently, and although you might be diagnosed with a very serious illness, unfortunately that is not the only determining factor to meet Social Security’s or workers’ compensation criteria.

Being injured on the job can mean that would qualify for workers’ compensation, which means that even if the injuries are temporary, you would get some kind of compensation if someone was responsible for your health and safety. If those same injuries were to cause more serious issues and cause you to have to leave work for the foreseeable future, then you might still qualify for SSD in Sacramento in addition to those Workers Compensation benefits.

Some children could be disabled, whether due to birth defects, mental disorders, or physical conditions, and Social Security might understand that this could have lifelong effects in their ability to do work or schooling. Due to the growing cost of caring for a disabled child, receiving SSI benefits on behalf of your injured child could assist families greatly. Even if a person was not born with a chronic debilitating illness, one could develop a disability due to a traumatic event, psychological trauma or even an accident. For example, you could develop disorders such as PTSD and Depression, or suffer back problems or chronic pain if you were involved in a work, vehicle, or slip and fall accident. In fact, if you were involved in such an accident, it is wise to consult a lawyer about your eligibility even if you’re not entirely sure. Sometimes you can even file for SSD in Sacramento while you’re waiting to receive benefits such as Workers’ Comp, so there’s often no real reason to delay applying for benefits.

The Social Security Administration has several departments that aid in processing filed applications as well as work on determining who meets their criteria and who they deem is disabled enough to be out of work for a consecutive twelve months and therefore would need to receive monthly benefits, which could be not only monetary but health insurance as well.

Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center is prepared and determined to fight for your rights and get you benefits you deserve. We can give you a free consultation and begin assisting you right away, so please call us at 530-362-7188.

Social Security law firm – GCWC

Help Sue for Workers Comp Damages

Social Security law firm – GCWC

It might be time to call a Social Security law firm if you are met with the unfortunate circumstance of not being able to perform your duties at work. Early intervention works, so you should never wait to get legal help or find out if you are entitled to any disability benefits. If you are out of work and can no longer perform as you used to, normally for people this means they suffered a life-altering injury or have developed underlying medical or psychological problems that were recently escalated. Our team at Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center is here to help you through the process of not only applying but being there every step of the way with you.

The Social Security Administration offers a disability program to most American citizens who meet certain requirements. The two programs are Social Security Disability Insurance benefits (SSDI) and the Supplemental Security Income program (SSI). Respectively, these programs are offered to Americans who have accumulated enough work credits or otherwise fall under a certain income level, but qualify as disabled under the SSA’s definition.

While tedious, applying for disability benefits is often pretty straight forward, and you can even do most of it online, but once the application is filed and processed, Social Security will begin to ask a lot of questions and will request a lot of follow-up information. Often times the beginning stages involve being denied which means claimants end up feeling very defeated. Every claim, no matter what the ailment is, requires enough evidence to support it. A Social Security law firm can help gather the information needed to prove you are unable to work for at least twelve months and determine you will not be able to return to work either.  If you claim for disability is denied by the SSA, you MUST appeal within 60 days or your rights will be seriously impaired.  You MUST be persistent.

Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center is a Social Security law firm that will help answer all your questions and make the process go as smoothly as possible, knowing the best people are working on your case. Our attorneys have worked many years aiding claimants with their disability cases, as we are aware of Social Security’s deadlines, their proceedings, and rules, which most people don’t know when they apply for benefits.

There’s no better time like the present, and you don’t need to wait to file a claim. We will make sure to use this time efficiently to get you the help you need and deserve, so no matter what the case may be, make sure to contact Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center as soon as possible. Contact our office for a free consultation or referral at 530-362-7188 or toll-free at 877-233-8399.

Disability Law Firm Services

Disability Case in 2022; Disability Case in 2021

Disability Law Firm Services

If a medical condition limits your ability to work, there is no better time than the present to call a disability law firm. There are many ways to help you depending on what caused your disability. Although some conditions might have developed over time or from an early age, if you were injured at work, if severe enough, it could turn into long-term issues with the need for long term financial support.

Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center is a very trusted and reliable disability law firm that can help you regain your lost wages and compensation if you suffered an injury while “on the clock.”  Workers’ Comp benefits are available for specific injuries, like falling or lifting too much, OR that result from micro day-to-day trauma on any body part that eventually develops to the point of needing to seek medical care or take time off.  We can help you file the appropriate forms and guide you through the possibly lengthy process. While this is going on, you might also qualify for other programs as well. In fact, if you are still employed there might already be benefits offered to you by your employer you might not have been aware about. We can also help determine if you qualify for a private insurance policy, as the definition of “disabled” varies and might involve some measures to be sure you are eligible.

A PIECE OF ADVICE:  DO NOT MISS WORK FOR MEDICAL REASONS WITHOUT A DOCTOR’s REPORT SUPPORTING THE NEED TO TAKE SOME TIME OFF TO PURSUE MEDICAL TREATMENT!  Disability benefit programs all require medical evidence in support of whatever benefit is being pursued.

When it comes to California residents, there’s a small percentage of every employee’s paycheck that is deducted and paid into a special disability insurance fund. If you cannot perform your regular work duties and suddenly find yourself out of work due to your conditions and you are not receiving any other type of comparable benefits, then you might be eligible to receive these funds.

Of course, if you do not meet certain disability requirements or cannot substantiate these claims, do not worry, as there are still a few programs available to all Americans that can help you while you’re dealing with your illnesses and being without an income. SNAP benefits will help you if you have a low income, TANF (temporary assistance for needy families), a program that also benefits low-income families, and Unemployment benefits provide assistance if you are involuntarily unemployed but are still seeking employment in the near future. Some of these are rather temporary, but can surely help you. It’s not easy navigating all of the different requirements for these programs, which is why a disability law firm can be there to guide you and meet the appropriate deadlines for all of them.

No matter the issue you are facing, we are certainly here to help you. Call Gold Country Workers’ Comp Center at our toll-free number 877-233-8399 or (530) 362 7188 for a free consultation today. Early intervention works, so do not hesitate to pick up the phone even if you have a few questions.  Getting an early understanding of the possible benefits available to those with medical conditions that interfere with work is very important.  We will help you through this transition and relieve any insecurities.
