Permanent Disability Benefits

Workers' Compensation Attorneys in Sacramento

If you have suffered an injury or illness while at work you may be able to receive disability benefits through the workers' compensation system. One of the challenges that you may encounter revolves around what type of disability category you fall under.

Permanent disability benefits are designed to compensate workers for their lost wages while they cannot work. This may include benefits for injuries that only partially limit your ability to work or benefits for injuries that prevent you from ever returning to the same line of work ever again. At Smolich and Smolich, our Sacramento workers' compensation lawyers can sit down with you during your free case evaluation, determine what types of benefits that you may be eligible for, and work diligently towards ensuring that you receive the compensation you need while you are unable to work and earn income.

What Benefit Categories Do I Fall Into?

The two types of permanent disability benefits that can be given include:

  • Permanent partial disability, which stems from an injury or illness that causes permanent damage but only partially limits your ability to perform the functions of your job
  • Permanent total disability, which stems from an injury or illness that causes permanent damage and renders you completely unable to perform the functions of your job, or of a similar job

Learn More by Scheduling Your Free Case Evaluation Today!

Because permanent total disability requires a medical diagnosis of 100% disability, these benefits are given far more rarely that permanent partial disability. Tell us more about your situation and learn more about the benefits that you may be eligible to receive through a free, no-obligation case evaluation from our experienced Sacramento worker's compensation attorneys.

  • Fantastic and Wonderful

    “Sarah Greer and Sam Eldaly from Smolich & Smolich are a fabulous team to work with. I had to apply for SSDI due to my Parkinsons and they handled it not only a professionals but as if they were sitting across the table from me in person the entire time. They are a dynamite team! I highly recommend them to anyone for a fantastic and timely managed experience. Thank you Smolich & Smolich!”

  • Without Smolich & Smolich taking my case I would have never gotten my benefits!!!

    “Without Smolich & Smolich taking my case I would have never gotten my benefits!!! Rob Smolich took my case himself and was so helpful in every step of the way. I cant say anything negative about Smolich & Smolich. I had a lawyer before him and he was way more personable. His office took all the stress off my back and made me feel at ease during the time period of waiting. Have nothing but good things to say about this company. They are completely professional!!!!”

  • They know what it takes to win. Thank you all so much!

    “Thank you so much for your help. I was denied twice by social security disability. They are the most diligent and wonderfully. Yes it takes a while to get a hearing. If it wasn't for the great staff and attorneys here, I would have never been approved for disability. It was the best Christmas gift i received. They know what it takes to win. Thank you all so much!”

  • I am so happy to have such knowledgeable and helpful people to help during this difficult time. Sam was super responsive and always willing to answer questions, regardless how big or small.

    “My circumstances were a bit unusual - my husband applied for Social Security Disability, but unfortunately passed away during the review process. Sam and Sarah worked diligently to see the case through to the end, and provide our family the benefits we were owed. A special thank you to Sam, he was always very responsive, willing to go above and beyond, and willing to answer questions whether big or small. Thank you, Smolich and Smolich!”

    Smolich and Smolich is so helpful!

  • very empathic

    “I would totally still be lost in the red tape of the social security system without the help of my attorney Sarah Greer and my case manager Sarah Cummings. You ladies rock!! Thank you so much for all your help getting my award. I would personally recommend this law firm to anyone needing help with their claim.”
