Practice Areas Description

- Workers' Compensation

When someone is injured in a workplace accident, employers and insurance carriers look for every possible way to deny or minimize the legitimate claims of an injured worker. With the passage of the SB 899 Workers’ Compensation Reform Act, protecting the rights of injured workers has become even more difficult. At the workers’ compensation law firm of WM Todd Berry, it is our job to make sure you get the medical treatment you deserve and the recovery time you need. We focus on your needs, your injuries and your recovery.

- Disability Benefits

You are entitled to Temporary Disability benefits if you are unable to perform your job duties while recovering from a work-related injury or illness. You must have medical documentation of your disability status. You may receive these benefits until you return to work, or until your condition has reached a point of maximum recovery, or become Permanent and Stationary.

- Medical Care

You are entitled to reasonable medical care needed to cure or relieve the effects of a work-related injury or illness. If appropriate, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) may award lifetime medical care for a work-related medical condition.

- Death Benefits

If an employee is killed on the job, or dies from a heart attack or other disease found to be caused or aggravated by work, the surviving spouse, minor children or other dependents may be entitled to receive benefits. Dependents who are good faith members of the household also may be eligible for benefits, even if not legally married. These benefits are substantial, especially for families with several dependents. It is one of the most overlooked benefits available to family members of employees whose job contributed to their death.
