One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesIrwindale is a small city by population, but its industrial base — aggregate quarries, manufacturing plants, and distribution yards — keeps a steady stream of workers moving through demanding physical jobs. When someone gets hurt operating heavy machinery, driving a work truck along Arrow Highway, or working near the I-605 and I-210 interchanges, California law usually routes the claim through workers' compensation first, regardless of who was at fault. But workers' comp benefits often fall short of covering lost future earnings or full pain and suffering, especially with severe injuries. If a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or another driver contributed to the accident, a separate third-party injury claim may be possible alongside your workers' comp benefits. We're here to review the details of your case and explain your options, with no upfront cost to you.
California generally treats workers' comp as the exclusive remedy against your employer, but if a negligent third party — like a subcontractor or equipment maker — contributed to your injury, a separate claim may be available.
You generally need to report a workplace injury to your employer within 30 days to protect your workers' comp rights, and a third-party injury claim carries its own 2-year filing deadline under California law.
