[QUOTE="Rena, post: 272690, member: 8"] [JUSTIFY][SIZE=15px]If you are considering filing a claim with the SIBTF, you must understand the requirements. There are several requirements to qualify for SIBTF compensation, such as a preexisting medical condition or work injury. An attorney can help you determine if you qualify. If you qualify, an attorney will review your past medical records.[/SIZE][/JUSTIFY] [HEADING=1][JUSTIFY][SIZE=15px]Work injury[/SIZE][/JUSTIFY][/HEADING] [JUSTIFY][SIZE=15px]If you have suffered a work injury and have a preexisting disability, you may be eligible for SIBTF benefits. This type of compensation is designed to help compensate for permanent disabilities, including preexisting conditions. For example, if you've previously had degenerative disc disease, you may be eligible to file for SIBTF benefits. The SIBTF is a state fund that was created in 1945 to help disabled Californians return to gainful employment. If you've suffered a work injury and are eligible for SIBTF benefits, the first step is to contact an attorney who specializes in these cases. This is a particularly complicated process and requires a specialized approach.[/SIZE][/JUSTIFY] [HEADING=1][JUSTIFY][SIZE=15px]Preexisting disability[/SIZE][/JUSTIFY][/HEADING] [JUSTIFY][SIZE=15px]If you have been injured in the course of your job and are currently unable to work due to a preexisting disability, you may be eligible to receive SIBTF benefits. These funds are designed to encourage workers with pre-existing conditions to return to work. To qualify, an injured worker must have a work-related injury that results in a pre-existing condition that is more than 50% of his or her disability. The SIBTF is a fund created by state lawmakers to help disabled workers get compensation. Basically, it is a fund created to help injured workers recover compensation for serious and catastrophic injuries. Because of this, employers have incentives to hire handicapped individuals.[/SIZE][/JUSTIFY] [HEADING=1][JUSTIFY][SIZE=15px]Qualifying for SIBTF compensation[/SIZE][/JUSTIFY][/HEADING] [JUSTIFY][SIZE=15px]There are several steps to qualify for SIBTF compensation. Generally, qualifying for SIBTF compensation requires that you have been suffering from a disabling condition for a certain period of time prior to the work injury. The condition must have resulted in at least three-quarters of your total disability after the injury, and it must have been triggered by work-related injury. The first step is to obtain a medical report from your doctor that demonstrates the severity of your disability. If the disability is at least three-quarters of your total lifetime disability, you should qualify for SIBTF compensation. Once you have contacted an attorney, you should discuss your situation with them. If you are considering filing for SIBTF compensation, it is important to remember that the compensation you receive is tax-free. If you are already working for a company that does not offer SIBTF compensation, you should consider contacting an attorney to discuss your options. This type of case can be complex and requires different handling than other workers' compensation claims.[/SIZE][/JUSTIFY] [HEADING=1][JUSTIFY][SIZE=15px]Requirements to file a claim[/SIZE][/JUSTIFY][/HEADING] [JUSTIFY][SIZE=15px]Filing for SIBTF benefits is a complicated process, and it is highly recommended that injured workers work with an attorney to make sure they meet the eligibility requirements. For example, the work injury must cause a permanent impairment equal to at least 30 percent of the worker's WPI, and the new injury must have a significant impact on the worker's ability to do his or her job. Additionally, the new injury cannot be an injury that happened in a previous job or be a non-industrial injury. The preexisting condition does not have to be a severe one, but it must have contributed to the new injury. Furthermore, the condition must have been ratable by the treating physician at the time of the injury. Additionally, the condition must have caused at least three-five percent of the permanent disability.[/SIZE][/JUSTIFY] [HEADING=1][JUSTIFY][SIZE=15px]Work injury lawyer's role in determining if you have a case[/SIZE][/JUSTIFY][/HEADING] [JUSTIFY][SIZE=15px]The first step in determining if you have a legal claim is identifying the cause of your injury. Some injuries can be caused by negligence of a third party, such as a manufacturer of defective machinery. In those cases, a workers' compensation lawyer can determine the best legal strategy for you. Once the cause of the injury is determined, the next step is to find a workers' compensation lawyer to represent you. These lawyers specialize in workers' compensation claims, and they can represent you in negotiations or court. In some cases, the insurance company may dispute the claim, or they may even try to convince you that your injury is not as severe as you think it is.[/SIZE][/JUSTIFY] [/QUOTE]
