How Workers’ Compensation Works in Daly City, CA
Workers' compensation is a no-fault insurance system designed to provide benefits to employees who suffer workplace injuries or illnesses. In California, employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance, ensuring that injured workers receive medical care and wage replacement benefits.
Workers’ compensation benefits include:
- Medical Care: Full coverage for doctor visits, surgeries, rehabilitation, and prescriptions.
- Temporary Disability Benefits: Partial wage replacement if you’re unable to work due to your injury.
- Permanent Disability Benefits: Compensation for lasting impairments that prevent you from working.
- Supplemental Job Displacement Benefits: Vouchers for retraining if you cannot return to your previous job.
- Death Benefits: Financial support for families who lose a loved one due to a workplace accident.
Unlike personal injury claims, workers’ compensation does not require proving fault. However, in some cases, third-party lawsuits may be possible if someone outside of your employer (such as a contractor or manufacturer) contributed to your injury.
Common Work Injuries & Occupational Illnesses
Workers in Daly City are exposed to a range of workplace hazards. Common work-related injuries include:
- Traumatic Injuries: Fractures, concussions, burns, and lacerations from accidents such as falls or machinery incidents.
- Repetitive Motion Injuries: Carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, and back strain caused by repetitive tasks.
- Work-Related Illnesses: Respiratory diseases, chemical exposure, and hearing loss.
- Mental Health Claims: PTSD, anxiety, and depression related to workplace stress or traumatic events.
- Aggravated Pre-Existing Conditions: If your job worsens a prior injury, you may still qualify for benefits.
If you have suffered any of these injuries, seeking legal guidance is critical to ensure your claim is handled properly.

Daly City Workers’ Compensation FAQ
How Long Do I Have to File a Workers’ Compensation Claim?
In California, you must report your injury within 30 days and file a formal claim within one year of the injury date. If your injury developed over time (such as repetitive stress injuries), the deadline starts from the date you knew or should have known it was work-related.
What If My Employer Does Not Have Workers’ Compensation Insurance?
Employers are legally required to carry workers' compensation insurance. If your employer fails to provide coverage, you may be able to file a claim with the Uninsured Employers Benefits Trust Fund (UEBTF). Our firm can help you explore legal action to recover the benefits you deserve.
What If My Injury Was Partially My Fault?
California’s workers’ compensation system is no-fault, meaning you are entitled to benefits regardless of who caused the accident. However, injuries due to intoxication, horseplay, or intentional self-harm may not be covered.
Can I Be Fired for Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim?
No. It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee for filing a workers’ compensation claim. If you face termination, demotion, or harassment, you may have grounds for a retaliation lawsuit in addition to your workers’ comp case.
What If My Claim Is Denied?
If your claim is denied, don’t panic—you still have options. You can appeal the decision through the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB). Common reasons for denials include:
- Insufficient medical evidence.
- Disputes over whether the injury is work-related.
- Missed filing deadlines.
Our attorneys can review the denial, gather additional evidence, and represent you in hearings to overturn the decision.
Should I Accept a Workers’ Compensation Settlement?
Insurance companies may offer lowball settlements to injured workers. Before accepting any settlement, consult with an attorney to ensure the amount covers your medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term needs. Once you accept a settlement, you may waive your right to future benefits.
Can I Work While Receiving Workers’ Compensation Benefits?
If your doctor clears you for light-duty work, you may return to work under modified conditions. However, working outside of these restrictions or taking another job could put your benefits at risk. Our attorneys can help you understand your work restrictions and ensure compliance with your claim.
