You can collect workers’ compensation while collecting Social Security benefits. However, the amount of Social Security benefits may be reduced. The Social Security Administration applies a specific formula to determine how much. #workerscomp #BerrySmith&Bartell http://ow.ly/e7T950BL7bV

In California, unlike many other states, agricultural workers have the same right to workers’ comp benefits as other employees. However, obtaining benefits is not always easy, and an appeal may be necessary. #workerscompensation #BerrySmithBartell http://ow.ly/5Vfs50BGDyX

Workers’ compensation benefits may be available for employees who are working outside, including firefighters, during the unprecedented wildfires raging throughout California.

Federal hours of service rules were meant to prevent truck drivers spending too many hours behind the wheel drowsy driving causes crashes. These rules were relaxed in March due to COVID-19. Could this lead to more truck accidents? http://ow.ly/rir550Bhd7E

Are you concerned it is too late in the process for a workers’ compensation lawyer to be able to help you? There is no harm in calling a lawyer to see if you may have legal options. http://ow.ly/9wxw50BaEqd

Statistics show wearing a seat belt lowers the risk of serious injuries in a car crash. Does that mean crash victims could be held liable for their injuries if they were not wearing a seatbelt? How could this impact a workers’ comp claim? http://ow.ly/bPsc50B5VPb

The central question in a workers’ compensation claim is whether your injury is work-related. If you believe you caught the coronavirus at your job, it may be very difficult to link your diagnosis to your job so you can recover benefits. http://ow.ly/UiEc50B3K4B

Sometimes an employer may try to delay a workers’ compensation claim. This can be quite stressful for injured workers who cannot work and need workers’ compensation benefits to keep paying their bills. https://www.bsbcomplaw.com//employer-delaying-workers-com/
