Claim it before someone else doesIrvine's workforce is spread across research campuses, medical offices, distribution centers and active construction sites. When someone is hurt doing that work, California generally routes the claim through workers' compensation, which pays regardless of fault but also limits what you can recover from your employer. What many people in Orange County don't hear is that a second path may exist. If a subcontractor, a property owner, defective equipment or another driver caused the harm, a separate injury claim against that third party can run alongside the comp case. Irvine recorded 910 injury collisions in 2025, with 1,233 people hurt and 10 lives lost, and public records show crashes clustering along I-5, I-405 and Culver Drive, often on Friday evenings between 5 and 7 p.m. A delivery driver or field technician struck during a shift may have both a comp claim and a claim against the at-fault motorist. We handle workplace injury claims, including both workers' compensation and third-party claims, and can help sort out which path fits your situation.
Workers' compensation is usually your only remedy against your employer, but a negligent subcontractor, property owner, equipment maker or driver can be held responsible separately. We can look for that second claim on your behalf.
California asks you to report a work injury to your employer within 30 days, and a third-party injury claim generally carries a two-year deadline. Acting early keeps both clocks in view.
