How Does California’s Workers’ Compensation System Work?

The state of California uses a “no-fault” workers’ compensation system, meaning workers cannot sue their employers in court – but they also do not need to prove their employer’s negligence led to their injuries. Professional athletes hired by a team are considered “workers” and are thus covered by the program. 

Teams purchase workers’ compensation insurance policies to cover the possibility of occupational injuries sustained during training, practices, competitive play, and recovery. If you suffered any work-related injuries over the course of your career, you may have a strong case. 

Obtaining Compensation through a Workers’ Compensation Claim as a Retired Professional Athlete

When you file your workers’ compensation claim, you will in most circumstances be working with an insurance company, not your former team. 

Unfortunately, the insurance company is not interested in maximizing your recovery or ensuring you get the benefits you need to move forward. They are more likely to try to deny your claim (or unjustly limit its value) by arguing your injuries were not work-related or are not as serious as you are attesting.
