Claim it before someone else doesGetting hurt at work in Chico can happen anywhere from a warehouse floor off Cohasset Road to a delivery route along the Esplanade. For most Butte County employees, workers' compensation is the first stop: it covers medical care and partial wages no matter who was at fault, and it is usually the only claim you can bring against your own employer. That is not always the end of the story, though. When someone other than your employer contributed to the injury, a separate personal injury claim may be possible. Think of a subcontractor who left a hazard on a job site, a property owner who ignored a broken stair, a manufacturer whose equipment failed, or another driver who hit you while you were working. Chico recorded 209 injury collisions in 2025, with 258 people hurt, and some of those involved people on the clock. We are here to review both paths and work with you on contingency.
Workers' compensation is usually the exclusive remedy against your employer, but a negligent subcontractor, property owner, equipment maker, or driver can be held to account separately. We review your injury for that second path.
You have 30 days to report an injury to your employer, and a third-party claim in California carries a two-year deadline. Getting our team involved promptly keeps both clocks from running out.
