Benefits of Workers' Compensation

What are the Advantages of Workers' Comp?

There are many advantages to workers' compensation. Under California law, employers are required to pay for workers' compensation benefits for their employees for on-the-job accidents and injuries, as well as illnesses caused by workplace exposure. These benefits may include money for medical care, temporary or permanent disability, and job displacement or rehabilitation. A family that has lost a loved one in a workplace accident may also be entitled to benefits under workers' compensation.

Under California workers' compensation law, employees are entitled to prompt, effective medical treatment for injuries sustained while on the job. One particular advantage of workers' compensation is that it is a no-fault system. This means that the employee may be entitled to benefits regardless of who caused the accident, even if he or she may have been at fault.

Although there are many advantages to workers' compensation, not all claims are approved. A claim may be denied or delayed, due to an employer's attempt to subvert the system and avoid paying a valid claim. In these situations, an employee may be wrongfully denied the benefits workers' compensation has to offer. This is one reason including an experienced attorney may go a long way in greatly improving your ability to recover the financial benefits to which you are entitled.
