Understanding Workers' Compensation in California
Workers' compensation is a system set up to ensure that employees injured on the job receive essential benefits. It provides a lifeline to cover medical costs, lost wages, and other necessary support while recovering from an injury or illness. In California, workers’ compensation benefits are available regardless of who was at fault for the injury, offering financial assistance for:
- Medical treatment: Coverage for doctor visits, surgeries, prescriptions, rehabilitation, and more.
- Temporary disability benefits: Payments to cover lost wages while you’re unable to work due to your injury.
- Permanent disability benefits: Compensation for workers who suffer long-term or permanent injuries.
- Job retraining or rehabilitation: Assistance for workers unable to return to their prior roles due to their injuries.
- Death benefits: Payments to the family of a worker who tragically loses their life due to a job-related incident.
What Types of Injuries Are Covered?
The California workers' compensation system covers a wide array of work-related injuries and illnesses. Whether your injury happens due to a sudden accident or results from long-term exposure to harmful conditions, you may be entitled to benefits. Common injuries include:
- Acute injuries: These are physical injuries that happen suddenly, like broken bones, sprains, back injuries, and cuts, often caused by falls, machinery accidents, or lifting heavy objects.
- Repetitive stress injuries: Conditions that develop over time, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, or shoulder injuries, caused by repetitive tasks like typing, lifting, or using machinery.
- Work-related illnesses: Illnesses like respiratory conditions, hearing loss, or skin diseases that arise from exposure to toxic chemicals or hazardous environments.
- Psychological injuries: Mental health conditions like PTSD, anxiety, or depression caused by traumatic events, workplace stress, or harassment.
- Worsening of pre-existing conditions: If a prior injury or illness is aggravated due to your job, it may still be covered under workers' compensation.
Workers’ Compensation or Personal Injury?
In most cases, workers’ compensation is the only legal recourse employees have for workplace injuries. However, there are situations where you may also have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. This can happen when a third party (someone other than your employer) is responsible for your injury, such as:
- A defective product or unsafe equipment.
- An accident involving a contractor or another third-party company.
- A vehicle accident that occurred while on the job.
In these situations, you may be able to file a personal injury claim to seek additional compensation, including pain and suffering. At Pacific Workers', The Lawyers for Injured Workers, we handle both workers’ compensation and personal injury claims. Our team will evaluate your case to determine whether you have grounds for a lawsuit beyond your workers' comp benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions for Antioch Workers
Am I Eligible for Workers’ Compensation?
Most employees in California are covered by workers' comp. If you are a full-time, part-time, or temporary worker injured while performing your job duties, you likely qualify. Independent contractors, however, are typically not eligible.
How Long Does Workers’ Compensation Last?
Temporary disability benefits can last up to 104 weeks, depending on the severity of your injury. Permanent disability benefits are available for those who cannot fully recover. The exact duration depends on your individual case.
How Soon Do I Need to File a Claim?
You must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file your workers’ compensation claim within one year of the date of the injury. Failing to meet these deadlines can jeopardize your ability to collect benefits.
What Is My Case Worth?
The value of your claim depends on the extent of your injury, the time you miss from work, and whether your injury causes temporary or permanent disability. We can help estimate the potential worth of your claim based on these factors.
What Happens if My Workers' Comp Claim Is Denied?
If your claim is denied, you still have options. You can file an appeal with the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) to dispute the denial. At Pacific Workers', The Lawyers for Injured Workers, we assist clients with the appeals process by gathering evidence, representing you in hearings, and ensuring your case is properly presented to secure the benefits you deserve.
