Generally speaking, California Workers Compensation is a state-regulated insurance system that pays medical bills and may replace lost income through temporary or permanent disability payments for full or part-time employees who are injured and / or disabled at work or who have work-related injuries, industrial diseases or occupational illnesses.

California Workmans Comp will pay for the medical treatment of injuries or illness if:

• the injury occurred at work or the disease or illness is job-related; and
• the injured worker is an employee and not an independent contractor who suffered an injury on the job site.

San Bernardino County Workers Compensation insurance will also replace some of the workers lost wages or income if:

• the work injury or industrial illness caused the San Bernardino injured worker to lose some or all income for more than three days.
