Workers' Compensation FAQ
-
Who is eligible for workers’ comp in California?
California workers’ compensation is available to every employee in the state, including part-time, full-time, and seasonal workers. Employers who have even one employee must provide workers’ compensation for all employees, including undocumented workers.
-
What benefits does workers’ compensation pay?
Workers’ compensation pays medical expenses, temporary disability, and other benefits for most injuries and illnesses that occur on the job or due to employment. If you are injured or become ill while carrying out any activities that benefit your employer, you are eligible for benefits. These benefits include any and all medical costs related to your injuries, such as emergency medical treatment, hospital bills, medications, homecare services, and transportation to and from medical appointments. Workers’ compensation also pays both temporary and permanent partial disability, and total disability when appropriate. California workers’ compensation provides life pension payments for eligible individuals, as well as vocational retraining vouchers and death benefits.
-
What do I do if my workers’ compensation claim is denied?
If your workers’ compensation claim is denied for any reason, you have the right to a trial to determine your eligibility. You can also litigate any issues you may have with your employer or employer’s insurance provider regarding your claim, such as available benefits, coverage, delayed payments, and early termination of benefits. The process of appealing a denied workers’ compensation claim in California is complex; you need a strong attorney to navigate the system. Reach out to an experienced attorney at our firm to learn how we can help.
-
Do I have to report my injury to my employer?
Yes, in California to receive benefits, you must report your work-related injury or illness to your employer within 30 days. This deadline typically begins on the date of the accident, but in some cases, it may not begin until the date on which the injury was discovered or reasonably could have been discovered. In any case, you should report your work-related injury or illness to your employer as soon as possible.
