Claim it before someone else doesEast Palo Alto's mix of warehouses, retail corridors, and logistics operations near US-101 and E Bayshore Road means workers face a range of on-the-job risks, from equipment accidents to injuries suffered while making deliveries through busy intersections. In California, workers' compensation is generally the exclusive path against your employer, no matter who was at fault, which means you typically can't sue your employer directly for a workplace injury. But if a subcontractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer contributed to what happened, a separate third-party claim may be possible alongside your workers' comp benefits. We handle workplace injury claims and can review your situation to help you understand your options after a workplace injury in East Palo Alto. There's no cost for an initial consultation, and no obligation to move forward. Our goal is simply to help you understand your rights.
Because workers' comp is usually your only claim against an employer, it matters to have someone who can spot when a third party, not just the employer, played a role in your injury.
If someone outside your employer contributed to your injury, California generally gives you two years to file that separate claim, so timing matters.
