In our latest episode of Work Comp Talk, we dive deep into SB555, a groundbreaking proposal presented by Senator Anna Caballero that could drastically change California's workers' compensation system. Join Carmen Ramirez and Bilal Kassem as they unpack the bill's potential impact on injured workers, employers, and insurance companies.
SB555 aims to address a critical issue in the workers’ comp system: the outdated permanent disability rates. For over a decade, workers have been stuck with the same rates that don’t account for inflation or rising living costs. This bill proposes annual cost-of-living adjustments for permanent disability payments, ensuring that injured workers are paid more in line with today’s economic reality.
