One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesHermosa Beach's economy runs on tourism, retail, restaurants, and small commercial operations packed into a compact beach city, which means workers here face a mix of hazards: delivery drivers navigating Hermosa Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway traffic, kitchen and hospitality staff near Pier Avenue, and contractors working on the area's tightly spaced residential and commercial buildings. In California, workers' compensation generally covers your medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault, and it's usually the only path against your employer directly. But when a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or another driver contributed to your injury, a separate claim against that third party may be possible alongside your workers' comp benefits. We can review the details and explain what applies to your situation, free of charge and with no obligation.
California treats workers' comp as the exclusive remedy against your employer in most cases, but it doesn't rule out a claim against a negligent third party, like a subcontractor or another driver.
You generally have 30 days to report a workplace injury to your employer, and separate third-party claims carry a 2-year deadline, so getting clarity early helps protect your options.
