Who qualifies for workers' compensation?

The California Workers’ Compensation system ensures that employees who face accidents, illnesses, or injuries at the workplace are rightfully compensated. But, what does this mean for you?

The crux is that almost every employee in the state of California is under the protective umbrella of workers’ compensation. Your employment status, whether full-time, part-time, seasonal, or even undocumented, doesn’t change this. However, navigating this system requires expertise, dedication, and a fighting spirit. This is where we step in.

Types of Workplace Accidents, Illnesses, and Injuries

Work-related injuries can be categorized into two main types:

  1. Specific Injuries: These result from a single, identifiable incident. Examples include falling off a ladder, slipping on a wet floor, or getting injured while operating machinery.

  2. Cumulative Trauma Injuries: These evolve over time, stemming from repetitive duties or prolonged exposure to harmful conditions. Think of a delivery driver with back pain from years of long drives or a hairstylist with carpal tunnel from constant hair cutting.

Whether your injury is specific, cumulative, or a mix of both, our team at California Justice Lawyers, LLP is adept at identifying and handling each case with the meticulous attention it deserves.

What benefits can injured workers expect to receive?

If you’re an injured worker in California, you might be eligible for:

  1. Medical Treatment: Full coverage for necessary medical care related to the injury.
  2. Temporary Disability Benefits: Compensation if your injury temporarily prevents you from working.
  3. Permanent Disability Benefits: Compensation if the injury leads to permanent impairment.
  4. Supplemental Job Displacement Benefits: Aid for retraining if injuries post-2004 prevent returning to your old job.
  5. Death Benefits: If the worst happens, your dependents have a right to benefits and funeral expenses.

What should an employee do immediately after being injured at work?

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Your health is paramount. Ensure your injuries are promptly attended to.
  2. Inform Your Employer: Notify them about the injury immediately.
  3. Document Everything: From medical reports to employer communications, keep a record.
  4. File a Claim: Your employer should provide a claim form. Fill it out and return it promptly.

Above all, get legal guidance. The aftermath of a workplace injury can be tumultuous. Allow us to shoulder the legal burdens, so you can focus on healing.
