Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a workers compensation claim in California?
In California you generally have one year from the date of injury to file a claim. For occupational diseases the deadline is one year from the date you knew or should have known the injury was work related. Missing this deadline can bar your claim.
Can I choose my own doctor for a workers comp injury in Newark?
California law allows you to predesignate a personal physician if you gave written notice to your employer before the injury. Otherwise the employer or its insurance company may control your medical care. A lawyer can help you navigate these rules.
What benefits are available under California workers compensation?
Benefits include medical treatment, temporary disability payments, permanent disability payments, and supplemental job displacement benefits. The amount depends on the severity of your injury and your average weekly wage. Death benefits are also available for dependents.
