What Kind of Injuries Result in Permanent Total Disability
Permanent disability usually is the result of a catastrophic accident occurring at the job site. The injuries sustained are usually on the border of life threatening, leaving the victim hospitalized for a considerable amount of time. Over the years we have encountered a wide variety of tragedies, all of which were eligible for compensation in one form or another. Examples of such accidents include:
- Toxic spills
- Gas or chemical explosions
- Construction and heavy machinery accidents
- Manufacturing accidents involving complex machinery
- Accidents occurring while operating a motor vehicle
- Exposure to significant amounts of electricity, flame or steam
What Kind of Compensation Can I Expect in Los Angeles?
Generally speaking, worker’s compensation benefits depend entirely on your weekly wage and what your income was at the time of the accident. This amount is calculated along current cost of living standards, as well as other social programs in which you maybe entitled. Some additional elements factored into your total often include:
- Emergency medical transportation
- Doctor’s fees and hospital arrangements
- Long-term medical care and therapeutic services
- Pharmaceutical reimbursement and certain fringe benefits
