White Collar Injuries That Qualify for Workers' Comp
Like blue collar workers, business professionals are entitled to workers' compensation if their injury occurred during the course of their employment. Workers who frequently sit at a desk are some of the most susceptible to repetitive strain injuries. Our team of white collar injury lawyers in Oakland can help you file a claim if you suffered an injury in a corporate setting.
Some common examples of white collar injuries include:
- Neck injuries
- Back pain
- Head injuries
- Eye strain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Lifting injuries
- Slip and falls
Unfortunately, some white collar injuries are not as easy to prove as the type of major accidents that tend to occur with blue collar jobs. That's why it's critical for business professionals to hire a workers' comp lawyer to help them with their claim.

Workers' Comp FAQ
-
What If My Employer Denies My Workers’ Compensation Claim Because I’m a Seasonal Worker?
Employers in California are legally required to provide workers' compensation coverage to all employees, including seasonal workers. If your claim is denied, it's advisable to consult with a workers' compensation attorney to understand your rights and explore options for appealing the decision.
-
Are Independent Contractors Eligible for Workers’ Compensation Benefits?
Independent contractors are generally not eligible for workers' compensation benefits because they are not considered employees under California law. However, some employers may misclassify employees as independent contractors. If you believe you are misclassified, consult with a legal professional to assess your situation.
-
How Is Workers’ Compensation Calculated for Seasonal Workers?
Compensation for seasonal workers is typically based on your average weekly earnings during the employment period. If you're unable to work due to the injury after the season ends, eligibility for benefits may depend on factors such as your employment history and whether you usually seek other employment during the off-season.
-
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.
-
What Should I Do If I’m Injured at Work as a Seasonal Worker?
If you're injured on the job, take the following steps:
- Report the Injury - Notify your employer immediately, both verbally and in writing.
- Seek Medical Attention - Obtain necessary medical treatment and ensure the injury is documented.
- File a Claim - Complete a Workers' Compensation Claim Form (DWC 1) provided by your employer and submit it promptly.
Timely reporting and documentation are crucial to ensure your claim is processed efficiently.
