What Is Workers’ Compensation in California?

Workers’ compensation is a no-fault insurance system that provides medical treatment and wage replacement for employees injured on the job, regardless of who caused the injury. In exchange, employees typically cannot sue their employer directly for workplace injuries.

Workers’ compensation benefits in California may include:

Medical treatment at no cost to the employee.
Temporary disability payments while you’re unable to work.
Permanent disability compensation if your injury results in long-term impairment.
Supplemental job displacement benefits (vocational retraining).
Death benefits for surviving family members in fatal cases.

Employers are required by law to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Injured workers may still have legal options to recover compensation if they don’t. Our skilled workers’ compensation lawyers in San Diego can help you understand your legal rights and options to pursue a claim, starting with a free consultation.

Common California Workplace Injuries and Illnesses

Injuries can happen in any work environment, not just construction zones or industrial settings. Whether you work in an office, a warehouse, a hospital, or on the road, you have the right to a safe workplace and to receive benefits when things go wrong.

Some of the most common work-related injuries we see include:

Back and neck injuries from lifting or repetitive strain.
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) from falls or blunt trauma.
Burns and chemical exposure injuries.
Fractures, sprains, and soft tissue damage.
Occupational diseases, including respiratory or skin conditions.
Hearing loss or vision impairment.
Psychological injuries, including PTSD or work-related stress.

We help workers in all industries—from healthcare and hospitality to construction and transportation—confidently navigate their claims.

Why Are California Workers’ Comp Claims Denied?

Many injured workers are shocked to learn that their claim has been denied, even when their injury is work-related. Insurance companies often deny or underpay claims to protect their bottom line, hoping workers won’t push back.

Common reasons for denial include:

Disputes over whether the injury occurred at work.
Claims of pre-existing conditions.
Missed deadlines for reporting or filing.
Insufficient medical documentation.
Employer retaliation or non-cooperation.

If your claim has been delayed, denied, or undervalued, we can challenge the decision and advocate on your behalf.
