Under California Labor Code § 4553, an employer that is found to have caused an employee’s injury by its “serious and willful misconduct” will be ordered to pay an amount equal to half the value of all benefits paid as a result of the injury. This includes all temporary and permanent disability, medical, and vocational rehabilitation benefits.
