Q: How long do I have to report my work-related injury?

A: It is crucial to report your work-related injury to your employer as soon as possible. In California, you generally have 30 days from the date of the injury to notify your employer. However, the sooner you report the injury, the smoother the claims process may be.

Q: Can I see my own doctor for treatment?

A: In most cases, your employer or their insurance company has the right to choose the doctor for your initial treatment. After the initial visit, you may be able to change to your preferred doctor within the medical provider network.

Q: What benefits am I entitled to receive under Workers' Compensation?

A: Workers' Compensation benefits in California may include medical treatment, temporary disability benefits, permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and death benefits for dependents in fatal work accidents.

Q: Can I sue my employer for a work-related injury?

A: In most cases, Workers' Compensation is a no-fault system, which means you cannot sue your employer for a work-related injury. However, there may be exceptions if your injury resulted from intentional harm or gross negligence.
