Workers' Comp FAQ
-
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.
-
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 There Other Benefits I Can Receive If I’m Unable to Work During the Off-Season Because of an Injury?
If you're unable to work during the off-season because of a work-related injury, you may be eligible for additional benefits, such as those provided by the Employment Development Department (EDD). It's important to explore all available resources to support yourself during your recovery.
-
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.
-
How Long Do I Have to File a Workers’ Compensation Claim?
In California, you generally have one year from the date of your injury to file a workers’ compensation claim. However, you should report the injury to your employer within 30 days to avoid complications.
