Available Workers’ Compensation Benefits
There are several different types of workers’ compensation benefits available in California:
Medical Coverage
Your employer’s insurance company should cover all your reasonable medical care related to your workplace injury or illness.
Disability Benefits
You may be entitled to either temporary or permanent disability benefits, which are a percentage of your wages. For temporary disability benefits (which include temporary partial disability and temporary total disability), it is typically 2/3 of your weekly wages. For permanent disability benefits, the percentage is determined via a formula that considers your age, the extent of your injury or illness, your occupation, and the date you were injured.
Supplemental Job Displacement Benefit
The Supplemental Job Displacement Benefit is a voucher you can use for retraining or skill enhancement. It can cover tuition, books, and more.
Return-to-Work Supplement Program
The Return-to-Work Supplement Program benefit is a one-time additional payment for “employees who experience a loss of earnings that is disproportionate to their permanent disability ratings.”
Death Benefits
If you lost a loved one due to a workplace injury or accident, you may be entitled to reasonable burial expenses and support payments.
The Carson workers’ compensation lawyers at KJT Law Group will ensure you receive all the workers’ compensation benefits you deserve.

Carson Workers’ Compensation FAQs
Can I Use My Own Doctor?
It depends on whether or not your employer has a medical provider network (MPN). If your employer does, you will need to use a doctor within that network of providers. If you predesignated a doctor, you can use your own physician even with an MPN.
Can I Afford a Lawyer?
Yes. Our team takes cases on a contingency basis. You don’t pay us until we win.
How Long Can I Get Benefits?
How long you can receive benefits depends on the nature of your injury and when it occurred. Our team can help you determine when your benefits may stop.
Do I Have to Prove Fault to Recover Benefits?
No. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system. This means that you don’t need to prove that another person’s negligence caused your injury or illness. It also means that you can recover benefits, even if you contributed to the injury. However, if you purposefully injured yourself or it was the result of intoxication or horseplay, you won’t be eligible for benefits.
Can I Sue My Employer?
In most cases, you cannot sue your employer. Your employer provides workers’ compensation benefits in exchange for you forfeiting your right to take legal action against them. However, if another party caused or contributed to your injury or illness, our Carson personal injury lawyers may be able to hold them liable for the entirety of your damages (e.g., all of your lost wages, your future lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering).
