Claim it before someone else doesColfax is a small Placer County town, but its workers face real risks — from warehouse and rail-adjacent work near the I-80 corridor to roadside jobs along S Auburn Street and N Main Street where delivery drivers, utility crews, and contractors operate daily. When someone is hurt on the job here, California law generally routes the claim through workers' compensation, regardless of who caused the accident. But that's not always the end of the story. If a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or another driver contributed to the injury, a separate third-party claim may be possible alongside workers' comp. We handle workplace injury claims and can review the details and explain what options may exist. Given how much local injury involves nearby roadways, understanding both systems matters.
California generally treats workers' comp as the exclusive remedy against an employer, but a negligent third party — like a subcontractor or another driver — may still be liable separately. We can help sort out whether you have this additional option.
Workplace injuries in California typically need to be reported to the employer within 30 days, and missing that window can complicate a claim. Contacting us quickly can help make sure nothing is overlooked.
