The workers' compensation system establishes defined benefits, which
must be paid for by the employer. Workers' compensation awards are
typically far less than comparable negligence awards in a civil suit. For
example, although the maximum workers' compensation death benefit
may be far less than the possible award in a civil wrongful death suit, a
civil action may take years to resolve while a death claim can be re-
solved in as little as a few months. Additional recoveries are available to
employees for an employer's serious and willful misconduct and
unlawful discrimination (Labor Code § 132a and § 4553). Although
group health coverage may include arbitrary limits on the extent of
treatment covered, workers' compensation is a statutory benefit with no
arbitrary limits on the frequency, duration, or extent of services. -
