Definition: Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation is an umbrella term for injuries and accidents where any harm is suffered by an employee while they are acting within the scope of their employment contract. This field encompasses injuries and accidents that happen while on-the-job due to a specific and sudden single event and injuries that happen at work that build up over time due to workplace causes that include repetitive physical stress. Examples of this are carpal tunnel syndrome and leg problems. Beyond that, >workplace injuries also may include many work-related illnesses or conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, stress, trouble breathing or exposure to toxic vapors or chemicals.

The Insurance is Required

California is very pro-employee and injured folks are lucky the laws are in place for them. The key, though, is to get legal help to enforce those laws on your behalf. California Workers’ Compensation Law does require all employers to carry Workers' Compensation insurance for their complete roster of workers. Each employee classification has its own insurance rate based on the type of work those employees usually do (to determine the typical risk of injury). If the company is able to financially prove they can self-insure to cover future work-related injuries expenses. Regardless, coverage is required and it will provide the following:

Compensation for disability payments during the recovery from work injuries;
Compensation for any unfortunate permanent injuries or disabilities; and
Reimbursements for related medical expenses.

We have an excellent track record that has been built on over thirty years of experience, quality customer service and success. Our very passion in life is to help our clients. We believe in the protection of employees and consumers.

Earlier we discussed how employers are required to carry workers’ compensation to cover for employee injury expenses. The trouble is that difficulties arise due to mainly two reasons: The complicated nature of injuries and the employer’s insurance companies who are mainly good companies who want to do good for people. In the end, though, their motivation is, of course, one of generating profit. Determining if you qualify and the exact value of your claim is complex. Your employer's workers’ compensation insurance company’s hope is to limit the compensation it agrees to pay. They take advantage of the complexity of the workers’ compensation system and the nuances of injuries and medicine to do this.

We are very accustomed to dealing with insurance companies. Honesty is always the best policy as no one can dispute the truth. Receiving the full recovery compensation you deserve usually does require the professional help of experienced workers' compensation lawyers like those in our firm.
