What is Workers Compensation?

This type of insurance is required in most states and is created to safeguard both the employer and the employee.

Qualifying for Workers Compensation Benefits
If you have sustained an injury while working, you could potentially receive financial aid and medical assistance known as workers' compensation benefits. These benefits are intended to support employees who have suffered from work-related injuries or illnesses. There are certain criteria that must be met in order to qualify for these benefits.
To be eligible, you must be an official employee of the company in which the injury occurred. Independent contractors and volunteers are generally not covered by workers' compensation insurance. Additionally, your injury or illness must have taken place while you were performing job-related tasks. If you were injured while commuting to or from work, it is possible that you may not be qualified for benefits.
It is crucial that you report your injury to your employer as soon as possible after it occurs. In California, you have a maximum of 30 days to report a work-related injury to your employer. If you delay reporting the injury, you may put your eligibility for benefits at risk. Our team of specialists can guide you through the workers' compensation process and ensure that you receive the benefits you are entitled to.
