California: Insurance is Required

California Workers’ Compensation Law requires all employers to carry Workers' Compensation insurance for employees based on the type of work they do. If they are able, they can also qualify for self-insurance to cover their work-related injuries costs. Either way, coverage under the Workers’ Compensation insurance or self-insurance will provide benefits for:

Compensation for any permanent injury or disability;
Reimbursement of your medical expenses that relate to your work injury; and
Disability payments for you during the recovery from your injury.

Why Hire DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo?

We have a solid and ethical track record over three decades. Our passion is to help people.

As you know, employers are required by the law of California to have workers’ compensation insurance. However, determining your eligibility and the monetary value of your claim is much more complicated than one would think. Not surprisingly, your employer's workers’ compensation insurance company’s strategy is to try to limit the amount of compensation it pays for each injured worker. They use the complexity of the system and the nuances of injuries and medical histories to do this.

These complex issues are used as a smoke screen for their benefit. Their lawyers are experienced on their end in pushing for the least compensation they can get. Receiving the fair compensation you deserve usually requires the professional help of an experienced workers' compensation lawyer. Our job is to be well informed and up to date in the law, know the strategies and tricks the insurance companies use and fight for you.
