Workers' Compensation Program

Work Injury claim form, law book, and pair of glasses

The Workers' Compensation program is self-insured and self-administered. Our mission is to provide state-mandated benefits exclusively to County employees and other qualified recipients in a timely, professional, and cost-effective manner.  This program oversees the contracts with the private claims management firm and is responsible for the timely delivery of services.

The community plays a key role by providing information to the Office of Risk Management. All information is carefully reviewed, and any suspicious activity is reported to the California Department of Insurance Fraud Program and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office for investigation and possible prosecution.

If you are not a county employee and have been injured at work, please contact your private employer for assistance. You may also reach out to the State of California Department of Industrial Relations at 1-800-736-7401 for more information.
