California workers’ compensation is the employer’s legal obligation to pay compensation benefits to workers hurt on the job.
Workplace injuries that may lead to a workers’ compensation claim could be a one-event occurrence, such as a back injury caused by a fall, chemical-caused skin burns, or a car-accident caused injury during job-related driving.
Repeated workplace exposure resulting in injury may also lead to a workers’ compensation claim. Such instances could include loss of hearing resulting from constant exposure to loud noise. It could also include injuring a body part such as the hands, arms, neck or back resulting from repetitive job-related motion.
Does your employer provide workers’ compensation benefits?
Some stress-related workplace injuries may be covered by California workers’ compensation, but not all.
Failing to report a workplace injury to an employer until termination or layoff may result in no workers’ compensation coverage.
