What to Do If You Are Injured in the Workplace
Workers’ compensation provides various benefits to help injured or ill employees recover and manage their financial needs.
In California, if you are injured in a workplace accident or contract an occupational disease, you should take the following steps:
- Report the injury or illness – Notify your employer immediately. California law requires employees to report workplace injuries within 30 days.
- Seek medical treatment – Obtain necessary medical care. If it is an emergency, go to the nearest hospital or urgent care center. For non-emergency cases, your employer may provide a list of approved doctors under workers’ compensation insurance.
- File a workers’ compensation claim – Complete a DWC-1 Claim Form and submit it to your employer to initiate a workers' compensation case.
- Follow up on benefits – Workers' compensation in California covers medical expenses, temporary or permanent disability benefits, and vocational retraining if necessary.
- Consult The Work Justice Firm – If your claim is denied, benefits are delayed, or you feel your employer is retaliating against you, one of our Los Angeles workers’ compensation attorneys can help protect your rights.
If a workplace injury results in death, workers’ compensation provides financial assistance to the employee’s dependents, covering funeral expenses and ongoing support for surviving family members.

Workers’ Compensation Benefits in California
Workers’ compensation fully covers necessary medical treatments related to your injury or illness, including:
- Doctor visits
- Surgery
- Medications
- Physical therapy
- Medical equipment like braces or prosthetics
Temporary disability benefits replace your lost wages. These payments generally cover two-thirds of your average weekly earnings.
If your injury results in a lasting impairment or disability, you may qualify for permanent disability payments, which compensate you for your reduced earning capacity.
If you cannot return to your previous job, vocational retraining includes education programs to help you learn new skills and pursue alternative employment.
