Filing a workers compensation claim is similar to filing an insurance claim; it isn’t a lawsuit against an employer, but rather a request for benefits.

If your employer does not have workers compensation insurance, you are still entitled to workers compensation benefits provided by the state of California. You may also be able to bring a civil suit against your employer.
The term “workers compensation” refers to a system of laws under the Labor Code of California outlining specific benefits to which injured employees are entitled, and the procedures for obtaining such benefits.
