Workers' Compensation
California's no-fault system for injured workers — medical care and wage-replacement benefits, regardless of who caused the injury.
Learn more →Medical Benefits
Reasonable and necessary medical treatment to cure or relieve the effects of a work injury, with no out-of-pocket cost to the injured worker.
Learn more →Disability Benefits
Wage-replacement payments while an injury keeps you from working, generally about two-thirds of your average weekly wage up to a statutory cap.
Learn more →Permanent Disability
Compensation for lasting loss of function after an injury reaches maximum medical improvement, paid according to a statutory rating and payment schedule.
Learn more →Denied Claims
A denial is not the final word — denied claims and denied treatment requests can be appealed through the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board.
Learn more →Workplace Accidents & Injuries
Sudden on-the-job accidents and physical injuries — falls, equipment accidents, vehicle collisions on the job, and injuries that aggravate a pre-existing condition.
Learn more →Repetitive Motion Injuries
Injuries that develop gradually from repeated work activity over time — carpal tunnel, tendinitis, back and joint damage — are compensable, not just sudden accidents.
Learn more →Work Stress & Mental Health Claims
Psychiatric injuries caused predominantly by work are compensable under California law, though they face a higher legal threshold than physical injuries.
Learn more →Fatal Workplace Injury
When a work injury or illness results in death, California workers’ compensation provides death benefits to surviving dependents, separate from any civil wrongful death claim.
Learn more →Social Security Disability
A federal benefits program, separate from California workers’ compensation, for people whose medical condition prevents substantial work regardless of its cause.
