This video reviews when workers’ compensation will start paying benefits on claims. If you are an injured worker with a California injury, and don’t have an attorney, this video is intended to help provide an overview of workers’ compensation topics so you can better represent yourself.

In workers’ compensation, payment of benefits generally depends on claim status. The real question is whether the claim is accepted, denied, or on delay. If your claim is accepted, benefits (including temporary disability, permanent disability advances, and medical treatment) will be paid. If the claim is denied, none of those benefits will be paid. Your focus must be on getting the claim accepted, or proceeding to trial on AOE/COE. If the claim is on delay, then no TD or PDA’s will be paid, but medical treatment will be paid up to $10,000 while the claim is on delay. This video goes through a number of the variables and options that come into play.

Jeremy Lusk is a certified specialist in workers’ compensation with almost two decades of experience, and previously served as a Judge at the Fresno District Office of the WCAB. He has worked out of Fresno, but appeared at numerous Boards to represent both injured workers and employers/carriers.

No attorney/client relationship is created or implied by this video. This video is not offering legal advice as to what you should, or should not, do in your workers’ compensation case, but rather offers education/information as to the California workers’ compensation system for unrepresented workers so they can better represent themselves and make more informed decisions.
