Understanding the Workers’ Compensation Lawyer System
California has strict laws when it comes to workers’ compensation insurance. Under the California labor code, all employers with at least one employee are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance; failure to do so can result in criminal or civil charges.
Who Can File a Workers’ Compensation Claim?
Part/Full Time Workers
Temporary Workers
Independent Contractors
- An injured worker is not required to prove that an employer or a co-worker was responsible for causing an accident; you should be able to receive benefits regardless of who or what caused your injuries.
- Injured employees also have the right to file a claim over injuries resulting from repetitive movement or exposure to environmental hazards such as excessive noise, in addition to those resulting from acute incidents such as falls.
- Keep in mind that you cannot sue your employer directly over any injuries you incurred in the workplace. Workers’ compensation insurance guarantees workers benefits in the event they are injured, but it also insulates employers from liability.
