Frequently Asked Questions About Workers’ Compensation in Inglewood
What benefits are available after a workplace injury involving construction or hospitality work?
In California, workers’ compensation is comprised of four primary benefits. These include:
- Temporary total disability compensation
- Permanent disability compensation
- Medical treatment for a work-related injury
- Job voucher or qualified injured worker compensation
If death results from a work-related injury, then the surviving dependents (total or partial) may be entitled to any benefits that accrued while the injured employee was alive. Surviving dependents may also be entitled to workers’ compensation death benefits, including burial expenses if the death was job related. Questions as to causation and the amount of such benefits vary with each claim. Similarly, there are specific time limitations to file a death claim with the workers’ compensation appeals board.
It is important to note that the above benefits are not the same as those one may receive in civil cases. For example, there is no compensation for pain and suffering under workers’ compensation law.
