When an employee suffers a work related injury or illness, Workers Compensation insurance steps in to provide benefits based on the type of illness or injury sustained. Workers Compensation insurance is based on a no-fault system, which means that an injured employee does not need to prove that the injury or illness was someone else’s fault in order to receive Workers Compensation benefits for an on-the-job injury or illness. As a California employer you are required under California Labor Code Section 3700 to provide Workers Compensation benefits for your employees.
