How Does Workers’ Comp for Temporary Disability for Professional Athletes Work in California?
Workers' compensation for temporary disability acts as a safety net when a work injury prevents you from doing your regular job for a while. If a doctor restricts your work activity due to the injury, you may be eligible for partial or full wage replacement. These benefits typically kick in after a short waiting period and last until you're able to return to your full duties, helping you manage lost income during the healing process.
