We provide vital information so you can make informed decisions regarding your California workers compensation case.

Trusted, Timely Counsel For You

The Turley Law Firm lawyers can help you locate the best medical providers for your injuries. They stand up to the insurance company that is trying to keep you from getting needed medical treatment and compensation benefits. They make sure you follow the complex legal procedures and make sure you are timely with all case deadlines. They can help get your case resolved if you need to go on with your life.

There are two types of life pensions:

- Permanent Total Disability
- Permanent Partial Disability

With a Permanent Total Disability life pension, you must have 100% disability.

For a Permanent Partial Disability you must have a Permanent Disability (PD) rating of 70% or more to be entitled to a life pension. You are entitled to a life pension based upon a formula using variables determined by your PD rating and your weekly earnings or wages. In general, you are entitled to a life pension of 1.5 percent of actual weekly earnings for each 1 percent your PD rating exceeds 60 percent. This is a little confusing, because you are not entitled to a life pension unless your PD rating is over 70 percent.

This means you can have a PD rating of 69.75* and still not qualify for a life pension.

• PD ratings are computed to the nearest ¼ of 1%

Marshalling the medical evidence is often times crucial to obtaining a life pension. This is another place where a seasoned workers compensation lawyer can make all the difference.
