Injury includes items?

• A. Injury includes only natural limbs.
• B. Injury includes injuries to artificial members, dentures, hearing aids, eyeglasses and medical braces.
• C. Eyeglasses and hearing aids will be replaced in all cases.
• D. Injury excludes cosmetic devices.

Answer: (B)

Injury coverage under a California Self‑Insurance Plan extends beyond natural body parts to include devices a worker uses to function or recover from an injury. This means the plan can cover injuries to artificial members, dentures, hearing aids, eyeglasses, and medical braces, not just to natural limbs. That’s why the option listing those items is the best fit: it accurately reflects the broader scope of what can be considered part of the injury’s impact and eligible for replacement or repair. The other ideas are too restrictive or absolute—restricting injury to natural limbs only, claiming replacement happens in every case, or excluding cosmetic devices—none of which align with how these assistive devices are treated under SIP.
