California Workers’ Compensation Claims

California workers’ compensation claims are submitted by employees who have been injured in workplace accidents or who have been exposed to conditions at their jobs that cause occupational illnesses. Any workers’ comp claim in California must be completed and submitted to the California Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC). As in most states, California mandates that employers carry workers’ compensation insurance so that in the event workers are injured or become ill on the job, they can receive medical care, replacement income, and long-term disability treatment if necessary.
