If you have suffered an accident in California and another is at fault, then you have LEGAL rights ! If your accident occured while at work (Workers Compensation) or by a negligence of another person (Personal Injury) you have rights to legal compensation.
What are workers’ compensation rights in California?
Workers’ compensation, also known as workmans’ comp, is a state-mandated insurance program that provides compensation to employees who suffer job-related injuries and illnesses. While the federal government administers a workers’ comp program for federal and certain other types of employees, each state has its own laws and programs for workers’ compensation. In general, an employee with a work-related illness or injury can get workers’ compensation benefits regardless of who was at fault — the employee, the employer, a coworker, a customer, or some other third party.
Are You Eligible for Workers’ Compensation Benefits?
If you are injured on the job or become ill as a result of your work, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Typically, there are three basic eligibility requirements for workers’ compensation benefits:
- The person or company you were working for must carry workers’ compensation insurance or be legally required to do so.
- You must be an employee of that person or company.
- Your injury or illness must be work-related.
