California Workers' Compensation Basics
Key Coverage Areas
California's workers' comp system covers medical treatment, wage replacement, vocational rehabilitation, and permanent disability benefits. Employers must carry coverage or self‑insure.
Filing a Claim
Employees typically file a claim with their employer's insurance carrier within 30 days of injury. Failure to file promptly can jeopardize benefits.
