One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesEureka's economy runs on a mix of retail corridors, timber-adjacent industry, marine trades, and small manufacturing scattered around Broadway Street and the H and I Street commercial strips. Workers here get hurt on loading docks, on wet decks, in warehouses, and on job sites — sometimes because of their own employer's equipment, sometimes because of a subcontractor, a property owner, or an outside vendor's negligence. California's workers' compensation system usually covers medical costs and lost wages no matter who caused the accident, but it typically doesn't let you sue your employer directly. When someone outside your employer contributed to the injury, a separate claim may be possible alongside your comp benefits. Our team reviews the details of your injury, explains your options in plain language, and helps you understand whether a third-party claim applies to your situation.
Workers' comp is usually your only path against an employer, but a negligent subcontractor, property owner, or equipment maker can sometimes be pursued separately.
California generally requires notifying your employer within 30 days of a workplace injury, and missing that window can complicate your comp claim.
