Workers' Compensation questions, cited
How long do I have to report a work injury in California?
Give your employer written notice within 30 days of the injury (Cal. Lab. Code § 5400), late notice can jeopardize benefits unless the employer knew or was not prejudiced. The formal application must generally be filed within one year (Lab. Code § 5405). For gradual injuries like repetitive strain, the clock runs from when you knew the condition was work-related (§ 5412).
Do I have to prove my employer was at fault to get workers' comp?
No. California workers' compensation is a no-fault system: benefits are owed for injuries arising out of and in the course of employment regardless of negligence (Cal. Lab. Code § 3600). The trade-off is exclusivity; comp is generally the sole remedy against the employer (Lab. Code § 3602), though claims against negligent third parties (a defective machine maker, an at-fault driver) remain available.
What benefits does California workers' compensation pay?
Medical treatment for the injury (Cal. Lab. Code § 4600), temporary disability payments at two-thirds of average weekly wages within statutory limits (§ 4653), permanent disability compensation rated under § 4660.1, supplemental job displacement vouchers (§ 4658.7), and death benefits for dependents (§ 4700 et seq.). It does not pay pain-and-suffering damages, those exist only in third-party civil claims.
Can I be fired for filing a workers' comp claim in California?
Retaliation for filing or stating an intent to file is unlawful under Cal. Lab. Code § 132a, exposing the employer to increased compensation, reinstatement, and reimbursement of lost wages. Separate wrongful termination and FEHA disability-discrimination claims (Cal. Gov. Code § 12940) can also arise when an injured worker is terminated instead of accommodated.
What if my workers' comp claim is denied?
Denials are challenged before the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board by filing an Application for Adjudication and requesting a hearing (Cal. Lab. Code §§ 5500 et seq.). Medical disputes run through Qualified Medical Evaluator procedures (§ 4062.2) and utilization review with Independent Medical Review (§ 4610). Strict deadlines apply at each step, which is where most unrepresented claims founder.
