California Workers’ Compensation is a no-fault system for injuries connected with your employment, whether they are specific injuries or an injury that developed over time due to your repetitive job duties. California employers must provider workers’ compensation benefits to employees by paying workers’ compensation insurance from one of the many licensed insurers in the state. All employers must purchase workers’ compensation insurance, regardless of the number of employees. As an employee, you are entitled to medical treatment of your injuries, lost wages, disability payments while you are unable to work, job retraining, permanent disability benefits if you do not fully recover from your injury and other benefits.
