EXCLUSIVE REMEDY

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. - correct answer...✔✔
