Workers' Compensation is a benefit guaranteed by the California Constitution to those people injured at work or as the result of their work. In it's most basic form it provides medical care, lost wages and a permanent disability benefit. It is a no fault system.

The insurance company or employer is suppose to voluntarily provide these benefits fairly and promptly.

The amended workers' compensation act (SB899) has made the system a complex procedure set up so an employer can delay and deny benefits. If you are visiting this site you have probably experienced how dysfunctional this system has become.
