Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is a safety-net program that offers benefits to people under the age of 65 who have become disabled or blind.

In general, if you are admitted to the hospital or are unable to work for at least three days and are not offered alternate job duties paid at the same rate, you can seek temporary disability cash payments.

Some injured workers are eligible to recover a portion of lost wages through temporary disability benefits.

A common legal question regarding car accidents is whether or not victims are eligible for workers' compensation.

In the wake of Assembly Bill 1244, the California Department of Industrial Relations has now suspended 227 medical providers from providing treatment to injured California workers.

The sooner a work injury is reported through the proper channels, the faster an injured worker can receive the necessary medical treatment.

A new law, Assembly Bill 1244, went into effect this year that prohibits doctors convicted of criminal or fraudulent activities from treating injured workers in the workers' compensation system. It was announced today that 21 providers have been suspended, bringing the total number of providers barred from treating injured workers to 121.

Without timely action, injured workers run the risk of overlooking, or even losing, their basic legal rights under California workers' compensation law.
