What Should I Do if My Employer Does Not Offer Workers’ Compensation?
Under California law, nearly all employers are obligated to provide workers’ compensation to their employees, with only a few exceptions.
Workers’ compensation is an insurance program that provides coverage for employees who sustain injuries while carrying out work-related tasks. Every employer in California is obligated to provide compensation to workers for any damages or losses resulting from an injury.
The cause of the injury is irrelevant as long as it is a result of a task or activity related to work. The only exception to this rule is when an employee injures themselves due to their negligence or if the injury occurs when the employee is not engaged in any work-related activity.
If your employer is aware of the requirement but refuses to provide workers’ compensation, you can report the issue to your local labor department or relevant labor authority. They can investigate and enforce compliance if necessary.
Consult our workers’ compensation attorneys in California. We will explain your rights, provide legal guidance, and assist in filing a claim or taking further action if required.

What Are My Options for Compensation If My Employer is Uninsured?
- Personal injury lawsuit: You may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against your employer, especially if their negligence or intentional actions led to your injury. This would allow you to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
- State fund or special fund: Some states have workers' compensation funds or special funds that provide benefits to workers in situations where the employer is uninsured or bankrupt. These funds are usually administered by the state's labor department or a similar agency.
- Third-party liability claim: If someone other than your employer or a co-worker contributed to your injury (e.g., a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner), you may be able to file a third-party liability claim against them to seek compensation.
