Work Injuries That May Qualify You for Workers' Comp

The physical nature of facility work means injuries can happen suddenly or build up gradually over time. Either way, they may entitle you to workers' compensation benefits under California law. Overexertion is among the most frequently reported sources of injury for facility workers, such as back injuries, shoulder damage, and other musculoskeletal conditions caused by lifting, repetitive motion, and sustained physical strain. Slips, trips, and falls on wet floors or uneven surfaces are another leading cause of serious workplace injuries, as are accidents involving equipment and machinery.

Common work injuries we help facility workers pursue claims for include:

  • Back, neck, and shoulder injuries from overexertion, heavy lifting, or repetitive strain
  • Slips, trips, and falls, including ladder falls and accidents on slick or uneven surfaces
  • Chemical exposure leading to respiratory conditions, skin damage, or eye injuries
  • Repetitive motion injuries, such as tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Traumatic injuries, including fractures, lacerations, and head injuries from workplace accidents
  • Occupational illness from prolonged exposure to hazardous substances or biological materials

If you are not sure whether your injury or illness qualifies, let us help you find out. We can review your situation during a free consultation and give you a straightforward answer about your options as an injured facility worker in Orange County.

Benefits You May Be Able to Seek

A workplace injury can disrupt your income, your health, and your peace of mind all at once. Many workers hesitate to see a doctor after a workplace injury because they worry about the cost, though. We want to be clear: medical treatment for your work-related injury should be fully covered under workers' comp, with no out-of-pocket expense to you. Do not let that concern keep you from getting the medical care you need.

Benefits that may be available to you include:

Workers' Comp FAQ

  • What benefits can I seek with a workers' compensation claim in Oakland?
    In California, if you've been injured at work or diagnosed with a work-related illness, you can file a workers' compensation claim to seek benefits that cover a range of expenses. These benefits include medical costs, lost wages due to time off work, compensation for future earnings if you're unable to return to work, and expenses related to retraining or skill enhancement if you need to switch professions. Given Oakland's high cost of living, it's important to ensure your claim is accurately filed to receive all the benefits you're entitled to.
  • Do independent contractors get workers’ compensation in California?

    No, most independent contractors are not covered by workers’ compensation insurance that is provided by their employer. The law does not require most employers to offer this sort of employment benefit to independent contractors. To get workers’ comp as an independent contractor, you will usually have to purchase a policy on your own.

  • Am I Eligible for Workers’ Compensation?

    In California, all employees are eligible for workers’ compensation with very few exceptions. If you are classified as an “employee” (rather than an “independent contractor”), you are eligible to receive benefits. This is true regardless of how many employees your employer has, how many hours you work, how much you make, whether you work part-time or full-time, or whether you are a seasonal worker. Additionally, undocumented workers are also eligible for workers’ compensation granted they meet all other eligibility requirements. In contrast, independent contractors and certain other workers, including some volunteers, household workers who are employed by a family member, and others, are not able to file for workers’ compensation benefits.

  • My Employer Said That I’m an Independent Contractor, Not a Regular Employee, so I Can’t Get Benefits. Is This True?

    You’re not necessarily an independent contractor by law if the nature of your job doesn’t fit the description, an attorney may help analyze your situation and guide you in this matter. There are high chances of contractors being eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, so it’s always worth trying.

  • Do I need to prove my employer was at fault to receive workers' compensation benefits?

    No, you do not need to prove your employer was at fault to receive workers' compensation benefits in California. The state operates under a no-fault system, which means that as long as your injury or illness is work-related, you can file a claim for workers' compensation. This system is designed to simplify the process for injured workers to receive their rightful benefits without the need for proving fault.
