California (2021, September 6) - Now that the Pfizer vaccine has FDA approval, many employers in California require their workers to get it. Rarely do individuals have adverse reactions to these shots, however. In the case of a mandate, an employee could file a workers' compensation claim for the side effects.
Often, the side effect of the vaccine does have to be severe. An injury or sickness should occur for the claim to reach approval. Again, in most cases, the employer would have to mandate the vaccine first.
There are some additional cases in which an employee may have the right to file a workers' compensation claim for adverse reactions from the vaccine. The workplace could hold a voluntary vaccination clinic, for instance. If the business paid for the vaccine and the employee had to go to another location, they could still file a claim.
When the employee faces an injury while heading to an alternate location for mandatory vaccination, they could file a workers' compensation claim. This case would especially be worth considering if the procedure occurred during typical work hours.
Finally, an employee could file a workers' compensation claim if they face infection of COVID-19 from another individual at the vaccine clinic. They would have to prove the origination, however, for approval to occur. A workers' compensation attorney Los Angeles who works with Rawa Law Group could help present the evidence in this case.
The attorneys at Rawa Law Group have over 55 years of experience in providing clients with representation for their workers' compensation claims. Ziad Rawashdeh founded the firm with a passion for injured employees and their rights. He alone has experience settling millions of dollars related to these claims for both workers and family members.
