Employers and claims administrators may use the content of this document and put their logos and additional information on it. The content of this pamphlet applies to all industrial injuries that occur on or after January 1, 2013. WHAT IS WORKERS COMPENSATION? If you get hurt on the job, your employer is required by law to pay for workers compensation benefits. You could get hurt by: One event at work. Examples: hurting your back in a fall, getting burned by a chemical that splashes on your skin, getting hurt in a car accident while making deliveries. or Repeated exposures at work. Examples: hurting your wrist from using vibrating tools, losing your hearing because of constant loud noise. or Workplace crime. Examples: you get hurt in a store robbery, physically attacked by an unhappy customer. Discrimination is illegal It is illegal under Labor Code section 132a for your employer to punish or fire you because you: File a workers compensation claim Intend to file a workers compensation claim Settle a workers compensation claim Testify or intend to testify for another injured worker. If it is found that your employer discriminated against you, he or she may be ordered to return you to your job. Your employer may also be made to pay for lost wages, increased workers compensation benefits, and costs and expenses set by state law. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? Medical care: Paid for by your employer to help you recover from an injury or illness caused by work. Doctor visits, hospital services, physical therapy, lab tests and x-rays are some of the medical services that may be provided. These services should be necessary to treat your injury. There are limits on some services such as physical and occupational therapy and chiropractic care. July 2014

Temporary disability benefits: Payments if you lose wages because your injury prevents you from doing your usual job while recovering. The amount you may get is up to two-thirds of your wages. There are minimum and maximum payment limits set by state law. You will be paid every two weeks if you are eligible. For most injuries, payments may not exceed 104 weeks within five years from your date of injury. Temporary disability (TD) stops when you return to work, or when the doctor releases you for work, or says your injury has improved as much as it s going to. Permanent disability benefits: Payments if you don t recover completely. You will be paid every two weeks if you are eligible. There are minimum and maximum weekly payment rates established by state law. The amount of payment is based on: o Your doctor s medical reports o Your age o Your occupation Supplemental job displacement benefits: This is a voucher for up to $6,000 that you can use for retraining or skill enhancement at an approved school, books, tools, licenses or certification fees, or other resources to help you find a new job. You are eligible for this voucher if: o You have a permanent disability. o Your employer does not offer regular, modified, or alternative work, within 60 days after the claims administrator receives a doctor s report saying you have made a maximum medical recovery. Death benefits: Payments to your spouse, children or other dependents if you die from a job injury or illness. The amount of payment is based on the number of dependents. The benefit is paid every two weeks at a rate of at least $224 per week. In addition, workers compensation provides a burial allowance. OTHER BENEFITS You may file a claim with the Employment Development Department (EDD) to get state disability benefits when workers compensation benefits are delayed, denied, or have ended. There are time restrictions so for more information contact the local office of EDD or go to their web site www.edd.ca.gov. If your injury results in a permanent disability (PD) and the state determines that your PD benefit is disproportionately low compared to your earning loss, you may qualify for additional money from the Department of Industrial Relation s special earnings loss supplement program also known as the return to work program. If you have questions or think you qualify, contact the Information & Assistance Unit by going to www.dwc.ca.gov and looking under Workers July 2014

Compensation programs and units for the Information & Assistance Unit link or visit the DIR web site at www.dir.ca.gov.

If convicted, the person will have to pay fines up to $150,000 and/or serve up to five years in jail. WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I HAVE AN INJURY? Report your injury to your employer Tell your supervisor right away no matter how slight the injury may be. Don t delay there are time limits. You could lose your right to benefits if your employer does not learn of your injury within 30 days. If your injury or illness is one that develops over time, report it as soon as you learn it was caused by your job. If you cannot report to the employer or don t hear from the claims administrator after you have reported your injury, contact the claims administrator yourself. Workers compensation insurance company or if employer is selfinsured, person responsible for handling the claim is: Address: Phone:. You may be able to find the name of your employer s workers compensation insurer at www.caworkcompcoverage.com.

Get emergency treatment if needed If it s a medical emergency, go to an emergency room right away. Tell the medical provider who treats you that your injury is job related. Your employer may tell you where to go for follow up treatment. July 2014

Emergency telephone number: Call 911 for an ambulance, fire department or police. For non-emergency medical care, contact your employer, the workers compensation claims administrator or go to this facility:. Fill out DWC 1 claim form and give it to your employer Your employer must give you a DWC 1 claim form within one working day after learning about your injury or illness. Complete the employee portion, sign and give it back to your employer. Your employer will then file your claim with the claims administrator. Your employer must authorize treatment within one working day of receiving the DWC 1 claim form. If the injury is from repeated exposures, you have one year from when you realized your injury was job related to file a claim. In either case, you may receive up to $10,000 in employer-paid medical care until your claim is either accepted or denied. The claims administrator has up to 90 days to decide whether to accept or deny your claim. Otherwise your case is presumed payable. Your employer or the claims administrator will send you benefit notices that will advise you of the status of your claim. MORE ABOUT MEDICAL CARE What is a Primary Treating Physician (PTP)? This is the doctor with overall responsibility for treating your injury or illness. He or she may be: The doctor you name in writing before you get hurt on the job A doctor from the medical provider network (MPN) The doctor chosen by your employer during the first 30 days of injury if your employer does not have an MPN or The doctor you chose after the first 30 days if your employer does not have an MPN. What is a Medical Provider Network (MPN)? An MPN is a select group of health care providers who treat injured workers. Check with your employer to see if they are using an MPN. If you have not named a doctor before you get hurt and your employer is using an MPN, you will see an MPN doctor. After your first visit, you are free to choose another doctor from the MPN list. What is Predesignation? Predesignation is when you name your regular doctor to treat you if you get hurt on the job. The doctor must be a medical doctor (M.D.), doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.) or a medical group with an M.D. or D.O. You must name your doctor in writing before you get hurt or become ill. July 2014

You may predesignate a doctor if you have health care coverage for non-work injuries and illnesses. The doctor must have: Treated you Maintained your medical history and records before your injury and Agreed to treat you for a work-related injury or illness before you get hurt or become ill. You may use the predesignation of personal physician form included with this pamphlet. After you fill in the form, be sure to give it to your employer. If your employer does not have an approved MPN, you may name your chiropractor or acupuncturist to treat you for work related injuries. The notice of personal chiropractor or acupuncturist must be in writing before you get hurt. You may use the form included in this pamphlet. After you fill in the form, be sure to give it to your employer. With some exceptions, state law does not allow a chiropractor to continue as your treating physician after 24 visits. Once you have received 24 chiropractic visits, if you still require medical treatment, you will have to select a new physician who is not a chiropractor. The term chiropractic visit means any chiropractic office visit, regardless of whether the services performed involve chiropractic manipulation or are limited to evaluation and management. Exceptions to the prohibition on a chiropractor continuing as your treating physician after 24 visits include postsurgical physical medicine visits prescribed by the surgeon, or physician designated by the surgeon, under the postsurgical component of the Division of Workers Compensation s Medical Treatment Utilization Schedule, or if your employer has authorized additional visits in writing. WHAT IF THERE IS A PROBLEM? If you have a concern, speak up. Talk to your employer or the claims administrator handling your claim and try to solve the problem. If this doesn t work, get help by trying the following: Contact the Division of Workers Compensation (DWC) Information and Assistance (I&A) Unit All 24 DWC offices throughout the state provide information and assistance on rights, benefits and obligations under California's workers' compensation laws.
