  1. How to Differentiate between Workers Compensation Claims and Personal Injury Claims?

  2. Every day, there are hundreds of injured working individuals all over California. According to the statistics, almost 50 percent of them receive compensation and benefits for the injuries they sustained. The other half does not. The reasons could be either a: Denied claim or Doing nothing

  3. The Main Difference The first thing you should consider is the following: is anyone responsible for your injury? Did someone’s negligence cause you to receive an injury? If the answer is yes, then you are dealing with a personal injury and should file a personal injury claim. However, if you sustained an injury by accidentally slipping and falling or by operating a machine, you cannot really pinpoint a person and say that “they are responsible for your injury”. In this case, you are eligible to file for workers compensation.

  4. Damages You Can Recover in Personal Injury With a personal injury claim, you can receive compensation for all the damages you have suffered, ranging from: Lost wages (past and future) Lost earning capacity Medical expenses (current and future) Suffering Pain Permanent impairment Loss of enjoyment of life

  5. You will Receive Compensation for: With workers’ compensation, you have to be aware that you will receive compensation for: 2/3 of your lost wages Impairment (temporary, permanent) Medical bills Weekly compensation based on your average weekly wages Vocational rehabilitation and retraining (if needed)

  6. Workers’ compensation is basically an agreement between you and your employer, where you sign a form and lose the right to sue your employer or the company, in exchange for weekly compensation based on the job injury you sustained.
