Claim it before someone else doesHillsborough is a quiet residential community in San Mateo County, but its households still rely on landscapers, contractors, domestic staff, delivery crews, and tradespeople who move through the area's estates and job sites every day. When one of these workers gets hurt, California law generally routes the claim through workers' compensation, regardless of who was at fault, and that process leaves no room to sue the employer directly in most cases. But that's not the whole picture. If a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or another driver on a road like I-280 or Skyline Boulevard contributed to the injury, a separate claim against that third party may be possible, and it wouldn't be limited by the workers' comp system. We handle workplace injury claims and can help sort out which paths apply and explain them in plain terms.
Workers' comp is usually the exclusive remedy against an employer, but a negligent third party like a subcontractor or equipment maker can open a separate claim. We can help figure out which applies to your situation.
California generally requires injuries be reported to an employer within 30 days, and missing that window can complicate a claim. We work quickly so you're not navigating deadlines alone.
