Filing Requirements and Deadlines
You must report your injury to your employer within 30 days. In most cases, you have one year to file a formal workers’ compensation claim.

Campos Law Group works on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront.
California Workers’ Compensation FAQ
What is workers’ compensation?
Workers’ compensation provides medical and wage replacement benefits to employees injured on the job, regardless of fault.
Do I have to prove my employer was negligent?
No. California workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, so benefits are available even if your employer wasn’t at fault.
What injuries qualify?
Any workplace injury or illness caused or worsened by your job, including slips, falls, machinery accidents, repetitive stress injuries, and occupational illnesses.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Generally, you must report the injury to your employer within 30 days, but some claims may have longer deadlines depending on circumstances.
Can I choose my doctor?
Initially, your employer or insurance carrier may require you to see a doctor within their network. Your attorney can help navigate exceptions for specialized care.
What if my claim is denied?
You have the right to appeal. An experienced attorney can help challenge denials and represent you at hearings.
Are settlements possible?
Yes. Many claims are resolved through structured settlements, ensuring you receive compensation for medical care, lost wages, and future disability.
Can I sue my employer outside workers’ compensation?
In limited cases, such as third-party liability or gross negligence, you may have additional legal options. An attorney can review your case for eligibility.
