Employer Obligations After a Workplace Injury

California law outlines specific steps employers and insurers must take once an injury is reported. Employers are required to issue a claim form within one working day after being notified, and insurers must begin temporary disability benefits within 14 days of a doctor confirming that the employee cannot work. Missing or delaying these steps can negatively affect your benefits.

Working with our Burbank workers’ compensation lawyer early in the process helps keep your claim on track and compliant with legal requirements. Our team monitors each stage carefully so your employer and insurer meet their obligations under the law.

How Workers’ Compensation Works in California

California’s workers’ compensation system provides benefits to employees injured while performing their job duties, regardless of fault. These benefits may include:

• Medical evaluation and ongoing treatment

• Job retraining vouchers if you cannot return to your previous role
• Death benefits for eligible family members

Working with our workers’ compensation attorney can help you understand which benefits apply to your case and ensure that important deadlines are met.
