Compensation for Workplace Accidents in California
When you receive compensation for your injuries in California, you will usually receive two types of benefits:
- Temporary disability and permanent disability. Temporary disability covers medical bills and a portion of lost wages while the injured worker is recovering.
- Permanent disability is paid if an individual has suffered lasting effects due to their injury, such as a loss of mobility or range of motion.
This compensation will cover:
Medical Treatments: All medical treatment and medications related to your injury are covered in workers' compensation.
Lost Wages: You will be compensated for any time you miss from work due to your injury, including lost wages, sick pay, and vacation time.
Vocational Rehabilitation: In some cases, vocational rehabilitation may be available to help injured workers get back to work.
Death Benefits: If a workplace injury causes death, the family of the victim can receive compensation for burial expenses and lost wages.
State of California Return-to-Work Fund Supplemental Payment

Supplemental Payment (RTW-FSP) benefits are available for individuals who have a permanent disability and need to find alternate employment. These funds will supplement the wages received from this new job, allowing you to maintain your current standard of living.
Steps to Take After You Are Injured at Work
If you are injured at the workplace and work in California there are some steps you need to take to ensure that you get the compensation and benefits you need.
- Report your injury: It’s important to notify your employer of the injury as soon as possible. Make sure to keep a written record of when and how the injury occurred.
- Seek medical treatment: You should seek medical attention for any injuries sustained on the job and make sure you follow through with any plans or future visits. Make sure to keep all records and documents related to your medical treatment.
- File a claim: You may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, so it’s important to file a claim with the state. Your employer should provide instructions on how to do this.
- Contact an attorney: An experienced workers’ compensation attorney can help you understand your rights and make sure you get the compensation you deserve.
What Should I Do if My Employer Denies My Work Comp Claim?
If your employer denies your workers' comp claim, it is important to contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible. Your lawyer can advise you on the best strategy for appealing the decision and will work hard to make sure all of your rights are protected.
Can I Still Get Workers' Compensation if I Work from Home?
Yes, you may still be eligible for workers' compensation benefits if you work from home in California. Working from home often complicates matters, however, as it can be more difficult to prove the connection between your home environment and the injury. An experienced Los Angeles workers' compensation attorney can help guide you through this process and maximize the benefits you receive.
What if My Employer Refuses to File a Workers' Compensation Report?
If your employer refuses to file a workers' compensation report, you still have options. You can contact the local workers' comp office and ask for help in filing a claim. Your attorney will also be able to assist you with this process.
