Paying Bills While Waiting for Workers’ Compensation

Answer:

A lot of our clients have questions about how to pay the bills now that they have filed a Workers’ Compensation claim in California and the doctor’s taken them off work. If the claim has been accepted, you’ll start to receive payments from the employer’s insurance carrier to assist you in meeting your day to day needs. If the claim is denied, then you’ll be able to file a claim with California State Disability and receive disability payments while you are out on medical leave. If you’ve been injured at work and you filed a claim, and your employer has denied your claim, and you need assistance with filing a claim with State Disability, it’s important that you reach out to an attorney that can help you. If I can be of assistance, feel free to give me a call so I can answer any questions that you may have with regards to a Workers’ Compensation claim, including trying to get paid while you’re out during your injury.
