Types of Workers’ Comp Permanent Disability Benefits

  • Permanent Disability Payments: These are partial wage replacements based on the severity of your disability and your pre-injury earnings. They can be temporary or permanent, depending on the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) evaluation.
  • Medical Care: You're entitled to medical treatment for your work-related injury, potentially for life, as long as it's deemed reasonable and necessary.
  • Vocational Rehabilitation: If your disability hinders your ability to play professionally, you may be eligible for retraining or vocational rehabilitation services to help transition to a new career.

Challenges During the Workers’ Comp Permanent Disability Claims Process

  • Causation: Proving the injury originated from your work duties can be complex, especially for cumulative trauma cases.
  • Out-of-State Teams: If you play for a team based outside California, eligibility can be trickier. You may still have a claim if you can demonstrate your disability resulted from games or training within the state.
  • Legal Representation: Navigating the workers' compensation system can be challenging. An experienced attorney specializing in sports law and workers' compensation can significantly improve your chances of securing the full benefits you deserve.
