Workers' Compensation
California Law Provides Benefits to Injured Workers
Every employee is at risk of a work-related injury, regardless of their occupation. Work-related injuries can often be traumatic and potentially lead to a significant interference in one's life. Such injuries may be:
- sudden, such as falling off a scaffold,
- long-term, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or back pain as a result of heavy lifting,
- or caused by unsafe working conditions.
Workers' compensation insurance carriers are legally obligated to provide certain benefits to workers who suffer an injury. Such benefits include:
- medical treatment
- temporary or permanent disability payments
- lump-sum payment
Legitimate workers' compensation claims may sometimes be denied by insurance companies, who may either deny that you have been injured or claim that your case does not qualify for workers' compensation benefits because your injury is not severe enough. Without representation, you will be at a disadvantage before the California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board and may not be able to receive essential benefits, such as medical coverage and financial support.
