Types of Workers’ Compensation Benefits 

Workers’ compensation benefits in California are diverse, providing essential support to address the varied needs of injured workers, from covering medical expenses to offering wage replacement and rehabilitation services.

Some of the main types include:

• Medical Treatment Coverage: Covers necessary care like doctor visits, surgeries, medications, and rehab for workplace injuries or illnesses. For example, workers' comp may cover physical therapy and medical evaluations for a back injury. 
• Temporary Disability Benefits: Provides partial wage replacement while an employee is temporarily unable to work. An injured construction worker recovering from a broken leg may qualify for weekly payments during recovery. 
• Permanent Disability Benefits: Offers compensation for lasting impairments from workplace injuries based on severity and impact on work ability. For instance, a machinist with permanent hand damage may receive long-term payments. 
• Supplemental Job Displacement Benefits: Provides vouchers for education or retraining if an injury prevents an employee from returning to their previous job. 
• Death Benefits: Supports families of workers who lose their lives due to workplace accidents or illnesses with financial assistance for dependents.

While these benefits are essential, obtaining them is often fraught with challenges. Some employers or insurers may delay or deny claims, leaving injured workers in a precarious position. Additionally, disputes frequently arise regarding the severity of injuries or the necessity of ongoing treatment. Without proper advocacy, these hurdles can prevent workers from receiving the support they need.
