What is Workers’ Compensation?

Workers' compensation is a state-required program that pays benefits to employees who get hurt or sick because of their job. It covers medical treatment, lost income, and disability benefits, so you're not left paying out of pocket for something that wasn't your fault.

Claims sound simple on paper, but they rarely stay that way. Employers dispute injuries, insurers delay payments, and one wrong move can cost you the benefits you deserve.

Common Workplace Injuries and Workers' Comp Claims

Workers' compensation covers more situations than most people realize. If any of the following sounds familiar, you likely have a valid claim worth pursuing:

SIBTF Claims

If a prior injury worsened your disability, you may be owed extra compensation.

Workplace Accidents

Sudden incidents at work left you with injuries that need medical care.

Construction Accidents

Job site hazards caused serious harm that goes beyond minor injuries.

Serious Claims

Your employer's reckless behavior directly led to your workplace injury.

132a Claims

Your employer retaliated against you for filing a workers' compensation claim.

Repetitive Strain Injuries

Repeated motion over time damaged your muscles, tendons, or joints.

Permanent Disability

Your injury left lasting limitations that affect your ability to earn income.

Temporary Disability

You cannot work right now, but expect to recover with proper medical treatment.

Why These Claims are Denied or Delayed

Insurance companies and employers do not hand out benefits easily. They look for any reason to deny, reduce, or drag out your claim. Without legal support, it's easy to fall into one of their traps.

  • You missed a filing deadline and lost your right to benefits
  • Your employer disputes that the injury happened at work
  • Your medical records don't fully support your claim.
  • The insurer uses delay tactics to pressure you into settling low
  • Inconsistent statements get used against you in disputes.
  • Lack of legal representation leaves you at a clear disadvantage

Workers’ Compensation Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does workers' compensation cover in California?
California workers' compensation covers medical treatment related to your injury, temporary and permanent disability payments, job displacement benefits, and death benefits for dependents. Coverage applies to most employees from their first day on the job, regardless of fault.
How long do I have to file a workers' compensation claim in California?
You have 30 days to report a workplace injury to your employer and one year from the date of injury to file a formal workers' compensation claim. Missing either deadline can seriously hurt your case, so act quickly.
What if my employer says my injury wasn't work-related?
Your employer's opinion does not decide your case. A workers' compensation judge reviews the medical evidence and facts. We gather documentation and medical records that establish the connection between your injury and your work.
Can my employer fire me for filing a workers' compensation claim?
California law prohibits employers from firing or retaliating against workers for filing a claim. If your employer does retaliate, that opens up a separate legal claim called a 132a violation, which can result in additional benefits and penalties.
Do I need an attorney with Law Offices of Blomberg, Benson & Garrett to file a workers' compensation claim?
You are not required to hire an attorney, but claims without legal representation get denied or undervalued far more often. Insurance companies have attorneys on their side. Having one on yours levels the playing field significantly.
What is the Subsequent Injuries Benefits Trust Fund (SIBTF)?
SIBTF pays extra benefits when a pre-existing disability combines with a new work injury to create a greater overall disability. The state fund covers this, not your employer. Prior injuries, illnesses, or conditions may qualify you for added compensation on top of standard workers' compensation.
What can Law Offices of Blomberg, Benson & Garrett do if the insurance company denies my claim?
A denial is not the end of your case. You have the right to appeal through the California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. We review the denial, build your appeal, and represent you through every step of that process.
