Getting the Right Medical Care

When an injury happens at work, it can be difficult to get the medical care you need. That first medical visit after the injury may go smoothly, but follow-up care can be difficult to get. Unfortunately workers’ compensation applicants regularly tell us that they aren’t sure which doctors they should be seeing, they aren’t confident they know how to get approval for a particular doctor or procedure, or that the wait to get in to see a specialist is extremely long.

What is Workers Compensation?

The first workers’ compensation laws were passed in Wisconsin in 1911. Throughout the next few years all states in the US instituted insurance based workers’ compensation systems, with Mississippi being the last state passing such a system in 1948. The system was put into place as a historic compromise between workers and their employers so that workers could get the treatment they needed for their work related injuries promptly rather than waiting for treatment and so that the employer could avoid costly civil litigation. California Workers’ compensation benefits are designed to provide you with the medical treatment you need to recover from illnesses or injuries due to workplace accidents or issues. There are benefits available to partially replace the wages you lose while you are recovering from your injuries or illness, and help you return to work. Workers’ compensation do not include damages for pain and suffering or punitive damages.
