Where do I file my application for adjudication in California workers compensation?

In California, if you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits to help cover your medical expenses and loss of wages. But where do you go to file your claim?

First, it's important to note that you should report your injury to your employer as soon as possible. Your employer is required to report the injury to their workers' compensation insurance carrier within one working day of receiving notice of the injury.

Once your employer has reported the injury, you can file your claim with the California Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC). The DWC is the state agency responsible for overseeing the workers' compensation system in California.

You can file your claim online through the DWC's eClaims system, or you can fill out a claim form and mail it to the DWC. You can also visit a local DWC office to file your claim in person.

It's important to note that there are strict deadlines for filing a workers' compensation claim in California. If you miss these deadlines, you may lose your right to benefits. So it's important to act quickly and make sure your claim is filed as soon as possible.

If you're having trouble filing your claim or have any questions about the process, you can contact the DWC for assistance. The DWC has trained staff available to help you through the process and answer any questions you may have.

In summary, if you have been injured on the job in California, you can file your workers' compensation claim with the California Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC). You can file your claim online, by mail, or in person at a local DWC office. If you have any questions or need assistance, the DWC is available to help.
