One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesCorning sits along Interstate 5 in Tehama County, and many local jobs involve agriculture, trucking, warehousing, or roadside work near busy corridors like I-5 Northbound and Marguerite Avenue. When a workplace injury happens here, California's workers' compensation system is usually the first path for medical care and wage replacement, regardless of who was at fault. But workers' comp isn't always the whole story. If a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or another driver contributed to the accident, you may also have a separate claim against that third party. We review the details of what happened and explain what options might apply, including any third-party claim tied to a vehicle collision or equipment failure.
Because workers' compensation is generally the exclusive remedy against your employer in California, a negligent third party — like a contractor or another driver — may still be separately liable for your injury.
California law requires reporting a workplace injury to your employer within 30 days, so getting guidance early can help protect your ability to pursue benefits or a claim.
