Workers’ Compensation Summary

Here is a rough summary of what generally will qualify for workers’ compensation. If you call our firm, we can give you a very specific and well researched response as to what your case looks like. Workers’ compensation injuries include any injury that has been suffered by an employee while they were doing their work or they were in the scope of their employment. Here are two types of injury categories: injuries that occur on-the-job completely due to a specific event and the injuries that build up over a longer period of time. Many of these work injuries are due to repetitive physical stress, such as leg or back problems. Workplace injuries also include work-related medical problems such as stress, trouble breathing, hypertension, heart disease, or exposure to toxic vapors or toxic chemicals.

Employers Are Required

California Workers’ Compensation Law mandates all employers in this state carry full Workers' Compensation insurance for their complete team of employees. It is a system put in place because of the sad past where employees were not protected when they were injured. The insurance rates for the workers’ compensation vary based on how injury-prone each job classification is. This is to ensure all employers have enough insurance. For instance, employers pay more insurance if they employ workers who use ladders or scaffolding. They can apply for workers’ compensation self-insurance if they are able to prove that they have the ability to cover employee injury compensation if they need to. The insurance or self-insurance equally provides the following types of payouts:

Disability payments to you for recovering from your injury;
Reimbursement of injury-related medical expenses that you have or will have; and
Compensation in case you have developed long-term disabilities or injuries.
