“Partial permanent disability compensation is the only payment injured workers receive for the loss of arms, legs, or their ability to do simple activities in daily life. The new study shows the inadequacy of compensation for lost earnings due to work injuries. It is time to restore balance to the California workers’ compensation insurance system. Insurance companies are reaping the benefits while working Californians are compensated at the bottom of the nation,” said CAAA President Jim Butler. “Changes over the past decade have been extremely profitable for insurance companies, but not for those injured on the job.”
