Worker's Compensation Benefits

Jobs Employment, Career Job, Employment Job

California worker’s compensation laws, as with worker’s compensation laws in other states, are designed to protect workers and employees who are injured on the job. Under these same worker’s compensation laws, injured employees are entitled to receive compensation for those injuries.

The amount of worker’s compensation benefits that an employee is entitled to is controlled by the particular worker’s compensation statutes in each state. Although the amount and coverage may differ in each state, all companies are required to provide their employees and workers with workers’ compensation insurance through a state fund, a private insurance carrier or employer self-insuring itself.

Workers’ compensation benefits can be applied to work-related injuries, including, but not limited to:

• Physical injuries incurred while performing regular work duties
• Injuries caused by defects or malfunctions in company machinery used in performing work
• Exposure to toxins at work as a result of normal working conditions
• Mental or physical injuries caused by increased workload and/or work-related stress

Since worker’s compensation is a statutorily created right, claiming worker’s compensation benefits requires strict adherence to the statutory system.
