Which per-violation amount is specified for the most serious violations?

• A. $5,000 per violation
• B. $100,000 per violation
• C. $50,000 per violation
• D. $10,000 per violation

Answer: (A)

Penalties in California Self‑Insurance Plans are applied per violation, with the dollar amount tied to the seriousness of the offense. For the most serious violations, the amount specified per violation is five thousand dollars. That means each separate instance of the most serious violation carries a five-thousand-dollar penalty, and multiple violations would add up accordingly. The other dollar figures represent penalties for different levels or sections, not the top tier described in this item. Understanding this per‑violation structure helps you gauge potential liability when there are serious SIP compliance infractions. Remember that the per‑violation amount is applied to each occurrence, separate from any overall total that may result from multiple violations.
