Workers’ compensation, typically called workers’ comp, is a government-mandated program that benefits people who become injured on the job, in connection with the job, or ill on the job. You have protection and rights when you are injured. That’s why Downtown LA Law Group should be the first place you call when dealing with a work-related injury. Your job may not be working in your best interest with your injuries because it could cause their insurance to go up and other payouts they may try to avoid. If there was negligence on the job, it could also open them up to multiple claims or fines. Because this type of law is complicated, we ask that you call us to get more in-depth information about your case.
Some Essential Things to Understand:
Workers’ Compensation is a form of employer insurance that covers medical services and costs. If you accept workers’ compensation, you won’t be able to sue your employer. California has a no-fault workers’ compensation system. This means your employer doesn’t have to prove you’re at fault, and you don’t have to prove your employer is at fault. The injury does need to be work related. You may qualify for disability payments, life pension payments, vocational retraining costs, and death benefits.
