Workers' Compensation Lawyer Victorville, California
Workers' Compensation laws are designed to protect employees who are hurt on the job. These employees are provided with fixed monetary awards covered under workers compensation, thus eliminating the need for excessive litigation.
In general, workers compensation provides replacement income, medical expenses, and vocational rehabilitation benefits. Usually, workers compensation will pay you two-thirds of your salary while you are injured. You may also be eligible for life-long benefits or a lump sum payment if you are permanently hurt while on the job.
In many cases, you can recoup workers compensation if you are hurt away from the job-site, so long as the injury was work related, i.e. occurring on work-related business, while doing a work-related errand, or attending a work-related event or function.
Making a False or fraudulent workers' compensation claim is a felony subject to up to 5 years in prison or a fine up to $50,000 or double the value of the fraud, whichever is greater, or by both imprisonment and fine!
