Types of Compensation Available After a Workplace Injury
If you were injured on the job in Northern California, you may be entitled to several forms of compensation depending on the severity of your injury and how it impacts your ability to work.
Workers’ Compensation Benefits
Workers’ compensation benefits may cover medical treatment, temporary disability payments for lost wages, permanent disability benefits, vocational retraining, and other necessary care related to your injury. Whether your injury occurred in a single accident or developed over time through repetitive work duties, pursuing benefits can help protect both your health and financial stability during recovery.
Additional Third-party Claims
In some situations, injured workers may also have a third-party claim in addition to a workers’ compensation case. For example, if a negligent driver, subcontractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer contributed to the accident, you may be able to pursue additional compensation outside of workers’ compensation. Unlike standard workers’ compensation benefits, third-party claims may allow recovery for damages such as pain and suffering.
Steps to Take After a Workplace Injury in Northern California
- Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible
- Seek immediate medical treatment and follow all care recommendations
- Document the accident scene, unsafe conditions, or equipment involved
- Gather witness information and preserve any available evidence
