  1. Who Is and Is Not Covered by Workers Compensation in California?

  2. Worker’s compensation has always been a hot topic in the business world. It is due to the fact that every day, someone gets injured while performing their regular work duties. The question is: once an employee is injured, are they immediately eligible for a worker’s compensation? Sadly, the answer is both Yes and No. There are many factors that determine whether or not an employee is eligible for worker’s compensation.

  3. These employees will not get compensation after getting injured on the job. They are: Type of Work / Job Categories That Are Not Covered By Worker’s Compensation ❏ ❏ Business owners ❏ ❏ Independent contractors ❏ ❏ Federal employees ❏ ❏ Railroad employees ❏ ❏ Longshoremen ❏ ❏ Volunteers ❏ ❏ Farmers

  4. Covered By Worker’s Compensation Benefits All the other employees (except the ones listed above) are normally covered by the worker’s compensation system. If an employee is injured while at work or while performing work duties off the work premises, he or she is entitled to receive compensation for their: Medical Bills Lost Wages Disability Benefits Rehabili- tation Death Benefits

  5. Be sure to get in touch with workers compensation lawyers in Los Angeles right after getting injured and schedule a free consultation. You will not be obligated to hire an attorney after the initial consultation. Also, keep in mind that the attorneys work on contingency, meaning that if your claim is not successful, you will not be charged anything for the attorney’s services. With nothing to lose, do not hesitate to seek legal help.

  6. Things To Do Right After The Injury As soon as you get injured, call the ambulance. Let your employer know of your injury (you have up to 30 days from the moment of the injury to notify your superiors), and focus on your health and recovery. Once you have notified your employer, you have up to two years to file a worker’s compensation claim. Take your time to heal and stabilize your health, and once that is done, speak with a Los Angeles workers compensation lawyer at the Law Offices of Kropach & Kropach and start working on your claim.
