Temporary disability benefits are a form of workers’ compensation designed to provide financial assistance to individuals who are unable to work due to a temporary injury or illness. In California and other states, these benefits aim to replace a portion of the individual’s lost wages during their recovery period. If you believe you may qualify for temporary disability benefits, contact an experienced lawyer to assist you in pursuing the compensation you may be entitled to.
Fractures and Broken Bones
These are common injuries that can result from various accidents, such as falls, car accidents, or workplace accidents. These injuries can require immobilization, surgeries, and extensive rehab. Individuals who sustain fractures or broken bones that significantly impact their ability to work may be eligible for temporary disability benefits until they recover and can return to their regular work duties.
Sprains and Strains
Injuries like sprains and strains can occur due to sudden movements, overexertion, or repetitive motions. These injuries often affect joints, muscles, or tendons, causing pain and limited mobility. Depending on the severity, individuals with sprains or strains may be unable to perform their regular job duties, leading to eligibility for temporary disability benefits while they heal and regain their functionality.
