Claim it before someone else doesA workday in Fort Bragg can go wrong in a moment: a fall from a ladder, a hand caught in machinery, a delivery van struck on Rt 1. When it does, most people are told the same thing: file for workers' compensation and wait. That advice is only half the picture. Under California law, workers' comp is usually the only claim you can bring against your own employer, and it pays regardless of who was at fault. But it does not cover everything, and it does not reach the people outside your company who may have caused the harm. A subcontractor on a Franklin Street remodel, the owner of a property along Main Street, the maker of a defective tool, or another driver on Oak Street can each face a separate injury claim with its own two-year deadline. We handle workers' compensation and third-party injury claims for Mendocino County workers, helping you sort out which path, or both, fits your situation. There is no fee unless there is a recovery.
Comp is generally your exclusive remedy against your employer, but it does not pay for pain and suffering. We can check whether a negligent third party opens a separate claim.
You have 30 days to report an injury to your employer and two years to bring a third-party claim. We keep both clocks on track so you do not miss your window.
