Representing Facility Workers of All Types

Facility work covers a wide range of roles, environments, and responsibilities, and no matter your exact role, we are prepared to represent you. Our team has worked with facility workers from schools, hospitals, office complexes, warehouses, stadiums, government buildings, and more. We understand the unique demands and physical risks that come with keeping a facility safe, clean, and operational, and we know how to prepare a strong workers' compensation case around the specific nature of your work.

We proudly represent facility workers, including but not limited to:

  • Janitorial staff and custodians who clean and maintain interior spaces, often using heavy equipment and hazardous chemical products
  • Maintenance technicians who perform repairs, inspections, and upkeep of building systems, machinery, and infrastructure
  • Groundskeepers who manage outdoor property, often exposed to uneven terrain, heavy equipment, and extreme weather conditions
  • Security personnel who monitor and protect facilities and may face physical confrontations or other unpredictable hazards
  • Facility managers who oversee operations and may be exposed to the same environmental and physical risks as the workers they supervise
  • Other facility support staff, including porters, housekeeping aides, and utility workers across all industries

Work-Related Injuries Common Among Facility Workers

Facility work is physically demanding, and the injuries that come with it can be serious and life-altering. Whether your injury happened all at once or developed gradually over time from the repeated physical demands of your job, it may qualify you for workers' compensation benefits under California law. Among the most common injuries we see in facility workers are overexertion injuries, such as back, shoulder, and musculoskeletal damage caused by heavy lifting, repetitive motion, and sustained physical strain. Slips, trips, and falls are also a major concern, whether from wet floors, uneven surfaces, or working at heights. Facility workers are also regularly exposed to hazardous chemicals, airborne particles, and biological materials, all of which can cause serious respiratory, skin, and systemic health conditions.

Injuries that may be a part of a workers' compensation claim include:

  • Back and shoulder injuries from lifting, bending, reaching, or overexertion
  • Musculoskeletal disorders caused by repetitive motion or cumulative physical strain over time
  • Slips, trips, and falls, including falls from ladders or elevated surfaces
  • Chemical exposure injuries, such as respiratory illness, skin burns, or eye damage from cleaning agents and solvents
  • Pathogen or bloodborne exposure, particularly for facility workers in healthcare, educational, or food service environments
  • Hearing damage from prolonged use of loud equipment such as floor scrubbers, polishers, or vacuums
  • Traumatic injuries, including fractures, lacerations, and head injuries resulting from workplace accidents

If you are unsure whether your injury qualifies for a workers' comp claim in California, that is exactly the kind of question we are here to answer. As your team of California facility worker injury attorneys, we can review the details of your situation, help you understand your rights, and walk you through your options during your free initial consultation.

Workers' Compensation Benefits Available to Injured Facility Workers

A workplace injury does more than cause physical pain; it can also quickly create financial pressure that makes an already difficult situation even worse. California's workers' compensation system exists to protect you, and as your legal team, we can fight for every benefit you need.

One of the first things we want you to know is that medical treatment through workers' comp is covered. You should not have to delay or avoid seeing a doctor out of fear that you will be stuck with the bill. Seeking prompt medical attention is not only important for your health; it is also an important step in supporting your claim, and the cost of that care is something we will work hard to keep fully covered for you.

Depending on the details of your case, you may be able to seek these benefits:

  • Medical treatment coverage — All reasonable and necessary medical care related to your work injury, including doctor visits, specialist care, physical therapy, surgery, and prescription medications, should be covered at no out-of-pocket cost to you.
  • Temporary disability benefits — Partial wage replacement if your injury prevents you from working while you recover.
  • Permanent disability benefits — Compensation if your injury results in a lasting impairment that affects your ability to work.
  • Supplemental job displacement benefits — Voucher assistance to help cover the cost of retraining or skill development if you are unable to return to your previous job.
  • Death benefits — Financial support for dependents in the tragic event that a work-related injury or illness results in a worker's death.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
