Getting injured or developing a medical condition because of your job can affect every part of your life, from your health and income to your ability to continue working.


California's workers' compensation system is designed to provide benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. In many cases, employees may be entitled to medical treatment, temporary disability benefits, permanent disability benefits, and other forms of assistance.


What Is Workers' Compensation?

Workers' compensation may apply to a wide range of work-related injuries and conditions, including:


  • Workplace accidents and injuries

  • Repetitive stress injuries

  • Back, neck, and joint injuries

  • Occupational illnesses

  • Exposure-related conditions

  • Psychological injuries caused by work

  • Injuries that develop over time due to job duties

Not all work-related injuries happen suddenly. Many develop gradually through the normal demands of a job.


Signs You May Have a Claim


You may have a workers' compensation claim if you were injured while performing your job duties, developed a medical condition because of your work, or noticed that an existing condition became worse due to your work environment. Employees often have questions when benefits are delayed, denied, or when they face difficulties obtaining medical treatment or time off related to a workplace injury.
