What is Workers’ Compensation?

Workers’ compensation is the overall term for injuries and accidents that are within the scope of one’s employment when any harm is suffered. This encompasses accidents injuries that occur while working due to a sudden single injury event and due to injuries that happen at work that build up over time due to workplace causes. An example of this is repetitive physical stress. Workplace injuries also may include many work-related conditions such as stress, hypertension, heart disease, trouble breathing or exposure to toxic vapors or chemicals.

W.C. Insurance is Required

California has set up its laws to be very pro-employee. What is important, though, is that you need to get legal help to make sure those laws are carried out to the fullest on your behalf. It is true that California Workers’ Compensation Law requires all employers (even small businesses) to carry full Workers' Compensation insurance for their complete roll of employees. Each type of job has a different “employee classification” for how much the insurance rates are based on the amount of injury risk usually occurs with those types of jobs.

Another type of insurance is self-insurance though the employer needs to be able to prove they have the financial stability to self-insure against future work-related injuries expenses. Regardless, coverage is required and provides the following benefits to injured employees:

Compensation in the form of disability payments during the recovery from work injuries;
Long term compensation for any injuries or disabilities that are deemed permanent; and
Reimbursements toward medical expenses related to the work injury.

Figuring out if you qualify and finding the exact value of your claim is complex.
